    @MajorDSmythe @LeonardPine

    Love the pics, guys! Thanks for sharing non-Walther firearms here too, because there's a lot I want to show. I wouldn't call a magazine a 'clip' around experts though, because you might get shot! Despite often being called 'clips' in action films and gangsta rap, they are actually two different things:

    Thanks @QBranch I didn't know that.

    Too much information garnered from movies I'm afraid! 😁

    I'm no expert, i'm fairly new to this hobby, but I refer to it as a 'magazine'.

    Very nice, @QBranch, very nice. :)


    I intend on adding a Glock to my collection at some point.

    Cheers, Major! The Glocks are easy to get here, I have five different toys, including one with an extended mag which I'd like to use for this FAB Defense carbine from NTTD:

    Some work-in-progress images here of a NTTD project I'm quite close to finishing:

    What a great thread. I've always wanted a proper PPK replica since childhood but have never had the chance to get one. I didn't realize Denix made one. I used to have a small flintlock replica of theirs from a museum gift shop. Is that the most recommended ppk to go for or is there something for those on a budget?

    I remember when the German Wicke company was making ppk and p99 plastic replicas as Bond toys but they weren't sold here in the US. Eventually I got a rebranded one of their p99s here at a party city of all places and it's a remarkable likeness for just being a plastic toy.

    Posted these elsewhere: AKS-47 rifle with under-folding shoulder stock, similar to what's seen in GoldenEye. In an attempt to make it more accurate, I picked up a vintage soviet canvas sling with the same trapezoidal metal ring, and added an old lanyard clip.

    Flare pistol similar to what's seen in Spectre's PTS. During the helicopter fight, the pilot tries to shoot Bond with it.

    In my search for a nice toy PPK, I came across these old video game light guns, both in silver - one with wood grain grips, and the other, green camo:

    51181747815_5bdff4be66_o.png

    The grip is a tad longer than a PPK, but a fair bit shorter than a PPK/S. Some annoying buttons and inaccuracies here and there, but looks pretty sweet from the right side:

    Just look at those glossy wood grain grip panels. Nice diamond knurling on the camo grips too. Would you agree the PPK looks neater in silver than in black?

    I think it looks better in black.

    You know, looking at that lightgun, I think I had one very similar to the PPK with faux wood grip. I also had a silver Colt 1911 with black grips.

    The intention is to paint the camo one black, so I can swap the grips around. I unscrewed the panels; they are interchangeable - just need to make the peg holes on the camo one a bit bigger.
