*UPDATE: THE RUN IS NOW GO*
This is a wraparound shell of the Episode 8 updated Glie 44 blaster used by Poe and Finn,made to fit around a Sig Sauer P226 Airsoft or replica. (Will no doubt work with other Sig Sauer models as well but I haven't tried. I used a KJW all-metal P226 which is one of the more common clones available.) The kit was done so that you can mod the airsoft to retain trigger functionality and is hollow with translucent parts to wire it up just like the screen prop shown by John Boyega on Twitter. If you'r'e real savvy, you might be able to retain shooting functionality on some airsofts but that was never my intent with this.
The kit includes:
Notes and build tips: My prints are done at 100 microns, slowly, which makes them MUCH smoother than the average printed kit and they do NOT need finishing with "XTC resin" but I DO recommend using spray filler-primer instead of regular primer. Since this must be printed flat, it will have a little more visible print-pattern than usual in my kits but I have modeled the details to handle a good amount of primer. Simply give it a few good coats and sand as needed. I recommend plexiglass glue or epoxy to assemble plastic-to-plastic, superglue or 2-part epoxy for painted surfaces and epoxy putty (green stuff) to fix the shell tight to the Sig Sauer, even though there IS a weaver guide modeled into the interior. The parts will have support materials that need to be removed with small pliers and a hobby knife.

Final kit photos (airsoft is not included of course)
Cost is $225 per kit +$15 worldwide shipping.
Wait time is currently 3-6 weeks to make, in order of payment. If you're in a rush for an event, PM and I'll see what I can do.
PM if you want one.
Thanks!

The kit includes:
- Main shell halves
- Muzzle
- Mid Barrel
- Rear cylinder (has a removable twist-lock cap so that you can change batteries if needed)
- Screw heads (loose)
- Blue transluscent inserts for lighting as shown in Boyega's Twitter video!
