And then Dave G.'s and Rick Ross's guns shoot up in price thanks to Adam, further making me regret that I didn't purchase the guns when I had a chance. LOL
In all seriousness, that's freaking awesome. Glad to see Adam sharing the PKD love and giving props (pardon the pun) to two kit makers who truly deserve it.  |

being the proud owner of a beautiful Dave G snubbie myself, all I can saw is AWESOME as well!! great video. It is really nice to see the designers get mad props from one of the more well known guys in the business

Can't wait for more Blade Runner discussion from Mr. Savage.

Cheers a bunch Andy - GREAT viewing to be sure.
Like the other folk's have said I'm delighted he featured Dave and Rick's kits so prominently because the praise he gives is well deserved and from the highest quarter.
I WAS disappointed that his real build wasn't featured (maybe a later episode?) because it would then have cast equal light on other doyens Rich, Sid et al as well as highlighting the issues of building the 'real' deal…
Thanks again mate.
Kind regards
MARK

Adam is still spreading the rumor that Rick had access to a Steyr that was too large when he made his gun. That is not correct, and kind of takes away from the fact that Rick made his gun completely from pictorial reference (mostly a VHS copy of the movie), and scratch...and his own imagination.
Interestingly though, it might be true of the Oz shop gun. Many details on that gun are similar to the Steyr SSG.

| Great vid. I'm a little surprised he doesn't mention or have any Richard Coyle models. You would think he would have a Sidkit as well. |

He does have those in addition to his own real gun build.
That video seems to have been consciously restricted to the resin models he prefers. I suspect there will be another video looking at the metal blasters sometime in the future…

Thanks for posting this Andy.
Hey... he embeds lead inside the resin kits for extra weight too ..... cool. That's what I did to my resin PKD-1... I embedded fishing lead ball sinkers into the resin gun all over the place plus epoxy resin mixed with them.
My Rick Ross PKD weighed 480 grams (about 1.1 LBS) out of the box.
It will weigh about 1,350 grams (approx. 3.1 LBS) when it is finished. I also replaced some of the resin parts with machined metal replacement parts and sourced metal parts from Rich Coyle, Offworld Blasters, and metal parts from 'mspaw' and 'andy'.
Still working on it.

Yeah....well it will be quite a while until I finish it. Started it in 2009  ...then it went back in its box, sourced all the parts I needed, but gotta get back onto it (need a spark of motivation again).... heaps more work.  |

| I still have to finish my PKD's and Sid, but they scare the bejuzus out of me. I want them to be perfect. |

That´s the stuff i love!
At one point, Adam is mistaken, however:
The Receiver does not come from Germany but from Austria.

Yes. Adam is a really nice guy for doing this and I am truly honored, not only to be mentioned, but to have also had my work mentioned in the company of Dave's work. I think his Snub design is exceptional.
Sincerely,
Rick
