  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.

 
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.
