Default My finished Colonial laser

I finally finished it. Tweaked the paint job some. But I also designed a new trigger for it- the Radio Shack momentary switch that keeps getting tagged onto non-working lasers just didn't do it for me. Studying Dykstra pictures of the weapon & its development shows the gun never actually had a trigger. But of course, it has to have one, so I made one in keeping with the general design of the gun, keeping in mind that in many cases, a gloved hand would be working it.






Low profile, but functional (if it were real).

Reviews?

So much to learn , so little time, and so many ideas with so little knowledge and so much to discover with so many things to try.

I WON!!!!!

I'm gonna make a few for sale. It turned out so much better than I hoped it would. Like, $120 each... the kits aren't cheap, nor the paint, but still less than finished Colonial laser static props elsewhere.

Just an FYI.

I frackin' love this gun!
