Decided that my Judge needs more firepower, so onto the next build, the "Widowmaker" shotgun, as used in the movie.

Not an easy one to get decent screen-grabs for. There are only about 4 readily available and they are similar views, as below;

Posted Image

But talking to guys who were on set it's the general concensus that the 'base' for the gun is a SPAS 12. So first step, take one airsoft Spas 12;

Posted Image

Take off the slide grip and mark out fake side panels;

Posted Image

Cut down slide grip and first coat of black so that no clear parts can be seen under the additional pieces;

Posted Image

Fit side panels ( right side has ejection port, left doesn't );

Posted Image

Build up the bottom of the body, using styrene and bondo;

Posted Image

Create angled faces at the back of the body, again using styrene and filler;

Posted Image

Another coat of black on the finished back and bottom details ( also dead chuffed at this point, as the slide grip still sides over the extended bottom piece );

Posted Image

The extended top section, gluing in place.

more to come.......

Cheers guys.

A bit more progress

Magazine built and fitted;

Posted Image

The pre-cut / folded front shroud piece. The refs seem to show slots etc. so I'm making this to kind of match the same area on the Lawgiver ( I think it makes sense )

Posted Image

The shroud loosely in place and barrel extension piece ( not glued yet ) made from plumbing bits n bobs

Posted Image

The under-slung "pod" which I'm planning on housing a torch, as I'm assuming that's probably what this feature is.

Posted Image

more to come..........

A productive day........

All assembled and given matte black and laquer ( may weather the living daylights out of it though )

Posted Image

Had a few chats with people and it seems the "pod" is a grenade launcher so now complete with grenade "in the pipe" ( olive drab green, but the flash has washed it out ).
