Wesker Samurai Edge WIP

Description

Im reworking my Edge.. again.. as well as working on my Hydra. I've never been happy with the rail as it doesnt look like his. His sits practically free standing (unlike underrails which have to attach to the trigger guard or in place of the slide release) So what im doing to hopefully make it accurate to the point that im happy with it is saw up a rail to remove all the parts that arent needed and fill in the gaps between the rails with modelling clay to make them wider as on his gun. For now its not finished, im going to make the rail go right to the end of the slide like its ment to which requires me buying another rail and sawing it up again to get the extra bit and sticking it onto the end of this bit. Once all thats done all i need to do is spray it all black then spray it chrome and it will hopefully look right


Im also doing the extra bits on Wesker's model like the beavertail which i have remade again, this time using Crayola Model Magic instead of modelling clay as that falls apart as you're working with it, this doesnt. I need to sand that down before i can spray it. I've also added the bit on the front of the trigger guard to make it wider again as on his gun. Im not happy with it though it doesnt look right. I've given it like 3 coats of chrome paint and it just never looks right, the colour/finish doesnt match the frame and it just looks obvious its been stuck on there instead of blending in. I dont know what else i can do with this for now to improve that. Will probably have the same problem when i spray the beavertail too


From my last uploads of this gun i tried to have the skeleton hammer fixed so i can actually fire the gun but they couldnt fix it so its still not working. I told them to keep it on for display purposes instead of refitting the original hammer. The outer barrel i have also upgraded to metal and the lanyard loop has been removed so my grips actually fit together properly


I am also considering attempting to make his laser LAM unit from his RE5 model gun out of putty. I have doubts to the success of that but i want to try. I've found a pic online of someones gun and it looks exactly like his, even the laser unit. I have no idea how they did that but its made me want to try and make it. I have some black putty so i'll try it sometime though it probably wont work



I will upload more progress pics as i get more work done on this. For now i dont think theres much else i can do until i get another rail which will probably take like 2 weeks to come. Hoping once its finished and sprayed it will look right and i might finally be happy with it lol

I know from seeing many versions of this on airsoft sites that the slide is ABS plastic and yet you make it look like metal, it that an effect of the lighting you use or have you done something to it? It's the same with the grips on it, they look darker than the regular samurai edge too... All in all making a very sexy gun!
