  Devil May Cry: Dante's Guns
I was commissioned to make a pair of static props from the video game "Devil May Cry".



I cut the frame for the guns from 3/4" MDF and used a router bit to cut slots for the trigger, hammer and trigger guard.



I made a 2" deep hole for the barrel. The rivets on the guns were simulated by drilling a shallow hole with a forstner drill bit.



The port on the top of the barrel was first drilled through with a 1/4" bit and then cut out with a razor saw.



I used a router bit to cut out the side slot and the ejection port.



I used strips of .040 styrene for the side of the slide. The trigger, guard and hammer were epoxied into place.



I used a strip of styrene for the rail strip.



More styrene shaped for the front sight.



Each gun had different hammers and rear sights. All were made from styrene.



Since I wanted to preserve the wood grain, made grips from 1/4" poplar.



The grips were shaped with router and sanding. The cameos on the grips were cut with a router.



The grips were stained. Ivory got a Maple stain while Ebony got an Ebony stain (not pictured)



After the wood was sealed, I pasted in laser prints to match the originals.



The inscriptions on the side were drawn on using a metallic paint marker.

Wow, very impressive work.
How come you did not make some weathering on them?
 
That's they way they were ordered...I'll leave that up to the end-user!
 
Seriously mad genius going on here. I am VERY impressed.
How large did they turn out? I know they are big guns so I wonder how you scaled them.

I have been looking into having some for a costume. Would you mind quoting a price for a set?

I scale all guns to a standard pistol grip/trigger template. In this case, it turned out the same size as a long slide M1911. They're big guns but not as big as you'd think.
 
just wondering how long in total
they took you to make cuase im hoping to make some but i wanna know how long it'll take me.
 
They took about 20 hours over two weeks.
 
Can you make more? I need to have them for cosplay!!!
 
is the picture on the black gun mona lisa? if not who is it? and whats the name of the chick on the other one? im making a pair if these but i need to find the pics of the women on the guns
 
It's not the Mona Lisa....I'm not sure who either of them are. I took them from pics of other replicas that I found on the Internet

These are all the dumb things I find myself obsessed with building when I SHOULD be doing something more productive.

As a kid I built lots of plastic model kits, never knowing that one day those skills would actually be of use.
