I wanted to say that I just got Paul's Indy gun and it is one of the best Indy guns that I have ever seen. Nice detail work too. Thanks Paul for a great piece!

Just an opportunity to use a new smilie ---> ;0

Okay, maybe not 'worthless', but come on, let's see it! ;)

hahaha...okay, I deserved that - nice pickup, Dr. J, and again, great pics. I was wondering if all Artsee's pieces come out pretty much identical or if there is significant variation (they are made by hand, so at least 'insignificant' variation is expected).

That's all I was looking for. So, Zen, is yours IDENTICAL to Brady's?

Very very close. The paint work may be slightly different, particularly around the tip of the barrell

That's pretty impressive - sign of a good craftsman. :tup: Kudos to Artsee, and thanks for posting (and for having a sense of humor). ;)

:D Well I have now seen my Artsee1 through plateglass at customs. It's a fine replica and looks almost identical to the photo's posted here. I didn't realise the replicas were actually so big:) Mmm...I now see why cap guns aren't so useable for this :lol:

Well done Artsee...I hope to actually get it one day.

Regards
TAZ

Oh, Taz. That is torture. Talk about so close and yet so far. I wish they would just let you have it. It is only a piece of resin. Good luck in your pursuit. I told you that if you could get it, it was worth it.

:D Thanks Buffle...I am officially encouraged :lol:

Seriously...it was torture mate. Fingers crossed and updates made known:)

Thanks guys. Wow they actually let you see it. I thought you were having it sent back and we were gonna resell or something. Keep me informed. I hope it works out.

I just got mine, too.

Man, this thing looks so real, if I encounter a sword wielding arab in the streets of Cairo, I won't hesistate to draw! :wink:

I just wanted to drop a note here to say that I bought a Raiders gun from Artsee off of ebay that I am EXTREMELY happy with, especially when you consider the price. I was only in the market for a holster-stuffer for my Indy Haloween costume, and managed to get this replica:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0054840179

for a great price that he described as "not being the best"
The piece is VERY nice indeed...practically flawless, especially considering my needs. If this is "Not the best", I can just imagine how perfect his better replicas must be.
Thanks Artsee!

Strider, old friend, if you encounter a sword wielding arab with this thing on your person, I HIGHLY recommend you run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. I double dog guarantee that he WON'T be impressed with your prop gun, no matter HOW nice it looks. :lol: :wink:

Regards! Michaelson

Yeah, there's an old expression that says, don't bring a replica gun to a sword fight, or something like that.
