Club Obi Wan

Stumbled upon this while looking for some cowboy gear for another costume I'm doing. I don't think I've seen this replica before.

Great find! Too bad you didn't post this a few weeks ago. I had searched for some HP replicas and finally bought an ASP Red Gun which I'm modifying and painting, and just bought a used "fixer" airsoft version (WE Tech) from eBay a few days ago. I could have bought one of those and been done with it.

I wanted to find out a bit more about it. Apparently it's a Denix. Looks to be a video review of the same model here on YouTube; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOpgr5dgbqI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Best price I've found: http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/p-8 ... plica.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I just got one on eBay and it's a pretty rough cast. I started sanding down all the grinding marks and I wish I'd never started. It came without a magazine and to replace the mag will put me at about the same as buying a brand new one, so I bought a brand new one and I'll keep the best one and sell the other. (I sold my airsoft seen above and made back a little, so that worked out OK for a change.)

I'm sure it'll look great by the time you're done with it. Feel free to post some pics if you would like to.

Not surprisingly, the Denix HP has already made an appearance here: http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f ... 3&p=727781" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And you know how once something comes into your consciousness, you start seeing it everywhere? Saw this on a poster at the post office today:



Why are they picking on our beloved Hi Power?

Well, they're just very photogenic.

Looked at that thread, all the deactivation talk made me sad.

Well, heck. Based on my observations in this thread -- http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=55254" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; -- I'm going to have to extend the barrel on my Inglis replica if I want it to be SA.

Or I could spend my time and energy on more productive pursuits.
