Polymer-framed Warhammer 40k Laspistol Sculpt

Polymer-framed Warhammer 40k Laspistol sculpt

A dovetailled mount on the side seems sturdier

Or I could just block the iron sights I guess?

Tried out a polymer reciever look, and experimenting with an optional sight rail

I think the sight rail mounting needs work - might end up with a rail all the way along the top?

Good news - Everything fits together

Changes needed:

1) The "19 MEGATHULE" text is too shallow and some of the strokes are too thin to survive the filler primer & sanding - Switched to a different font & slightly deeper engraving

2) The knurling on the laser sight is a bit too fine - it survived the filler primer but fewer, deeper cuts would be better

3) The Departmento Munitorum stamp on the charging handle is a little small - made bigger
