My buddies and I have decided to take our costuming to a whole new level by using a CNC mill and AutoCAD to produce blanks of 3D models to be molded and cast for prop scale replica pistols and other weapons. Here is one of the original ideas we came up with.
The 4th photo is in there as we removed the cooling vents from the barrels before production because if we had put them in, the piece would never fit into a holster properly. We made the blank from machineable wax, the trigger and handle assembly as well as the magazine are being cut into the piece as we speak. I'll post a later instructible about the molding and casting process.
