Ever since i got The Book Of Alien when it first came out in '79, one of my favourite photos in it was the pistol, labelled a "Roger Christian Special". Liked it so much, i built my own a few years back :D

Love it. More build details please! 8) 8) 8)

I've a couple of single point scopes, just waiting to turned into one [or possibly two] of these.
I'm still hunting round for a suitable base gun; was thinking of possibly a Star Wars SE-14R Blaster 3D print ... :shock:

Septic, i've got a Youtube channel, but built it while i couldn't get access to the channel, so no in progress vids there. There is this one though, of my completed pistol:

You’ve done a great job there! Is that a Shawn Morgan (‘MorganThirteen’) casting?

Certainly is - and a thing of beauty it is too!

Oh wow, it is a cast?! Looks like a real parts build!

The Shawn Morgan repros are amazing. I inherited one and I am deathly afraid of getting the paint job wrong. The originals were sprayed with a weird mix of metallic paints and it can easily go wrong...

Does Shawn still make these? I know it was some time ago, they were great kits. Yours looks terrific Mangamax.

Many thanks. No idea if Shawn still does them, i'm afraid

I've considered making a replica of this pistol as well from time to time. If I ever get round to it I'll start by getting hold of a Star Wars SE-14 replica that used the same SMG as a base, move the main scope and add a replica single point sight to the magazine base (although I do have a real shell lying about somewhere). I think that will cover just about everything apart from the narrow muzzle section.
