I have now got to a position that I'm confident that the basic model is done. I have just finished the buckle assembly which works well (shown below) and as game accurate as I could get along with sources most parts needed to create it.

  

The last thing to do to complete it so far is to do the cut out pattern for the leather forearm grip. I have an idea of how I just need to start detailing it. Once I have that done I will then start looking of how I can start adding LEDs realistic switches etc. which could take some time. if it is possible.

So, the purpose of this poll is to decide on what you guys want. Do you want the model as is, after I have done the leather grip or till it’s a completed project.

If 'Release Current Model' is selected is could still take me a week to create the assembly drawing and BOM for all the non-printed parts.

I guess with leather parts the model is done enough for display purpose? I voted for the leather one and would gladly print, paint and put in on my shelf. Of course i will print the final version to 😊

Yes, for display it will be fine. I thought I'd give the options as some people might just want the model and kitbash the rest of it and some might want a completed product.

Henrik Larsson

Very kind of you too ask and i do hope the majority settle for the leather option. Then you have a lot of time tuning it to perfection while we sand and paint away our spare time 😊

Henry Palmer

I'm more then happy for you to release it whenever you are happy with it 🙂

Joe Smith

No rush! I'd rather you have the opportunity to make last minute changes if needed. Better safe than sorry!

Charles Stitman

I'm going to print it as soon as you make it available. I've got a laser cutter and I'm itching to use it for the leather.

Lilykill

Sounds good, would saving out the flat pattern of the leather pieces in DXF be some help to you.? I can just export the drawing out, its only a couple clicks.

Charles Stitman

That would help. Thank you. I've got a glowforge that I love to use for cosplay
