Looking great! I think the original was probably an off the shelf toy gun that they chopped up and glued a lot of pieces to - the trigger and grip look like hey're from an M16.

Oh, okay. I see it has two grips, one diagonal, one straight with a trigger

I think you may be right re: the gun handle and trigger Piers. I just thought it looked terribly thick in the larger image to be a gun handle. It struck me as more in tune with an 8MM movie camera facing backwards.dissolute wrote:Oh, okay. I see it has two grips, one diagonal, one straight with a trigger

Finding this nozzle piece has been an absolute nightmare.
![Image](https://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/01/29/part.jpg)
I finally settled on having to cast it in resin, in two sections, using two molds. One mold created from a portion of a lid taken off a deodorant can, and the other by using part of a plastic Christmas bauble. When released, bonded together, and the seam filled, the piece should be virtually spot on

Very happy with how that turned out

Quicker than a peroxide rinse

I know it all looks a bit crooked but it's not been bonded together yet, and I've been making some adjustments to the top to make it more screen accurate. Hopefully, if I wire it up right, when you flick the switch it'll fire the laser, well turn on the ultra bright blue led anyway![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Trigger and hand grip construction this morning
Cut a template from card, then from that cut the front and back pieces from hardboard,
![Image](https://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/01/31/20170131_082723.jpg)
Then I cut a 3rd piece from hard foam and sandwiched that between the hardboard shell using Apoxy Resin.

Did the same for the hand grip.

Finally filled the outer section with resin paste and then sanded it all flush. Messy job but someone has to do it
