Nobutaka Toku, designer of the Tomenosuke Blade Runner Blaster, has posted a web album of photos taken during the original design process. He also shows the various modifications he made to create my Tomenosuke Special replica, some of which influenced the design of the PRO.

Its too bad he is in Japan. Id gladly send him all the original real parts I have (Steyr, Bulldog, etc) for him to assemble for me, adding stuff like grips and cylinder covers of course. Would be an AMAZING piece for sure.
