Hello all,

     For those who bought the pistol kit out there THANK you.  Individual sales exceeded my expectations.  I did not pour enough kits.  The last three will ship hopefully this weekend.  The Ebay sale did not go well - so this will end the kit run.  I posted pics of the modified cut down version with the short flash hider.  If anyone needs help trying the modification on their kit or want a second kit for both versions - email me directly - or follow the pics on the RPF forum thread.  It took about ten minutes to make the modifications.    [hidden email].    

Here is a link to the Prop Build Thread with updates and pictures.  Originally I was not happy with kit and wanted to tweak it.  When it came out and I actually built one - I loved it.  I was worried because this was my very first project and kit, that it might not meet the high standards UFO fans have about collectables.  I should have had more confidence.  I am proud of the final product.  I was surprised to see that more friends on the RPF Forum were interested than SHADO group fans.  I guess prop collectors are different than general fans.  I think the Gerry Anderson pistols are just as cool at the Skydiver, Interceptor, or UFO itself.  Some sent emails of support after reading some of the posted comments on the thread.  To those kind people - THANK YOU.  You are what makes UFO fans GREAT - kind souls with a big heart.

Thank you all for your support.  On to the next UFO weapons project.  The molds will be retired.
