Thanks again guys!
Okay, to answer some of your questions:
Ego - yeah, thats what I thought on the gelcoat, thus the reason I asked. You're right, gelcoating something near its intended color would be beneficial againts scratches. In short, if your paint gets scratched, atleast it would show brown rather than a different color - question is, what would be the color of your primer?
Even though we gelcoat it in Brown & you use a grey primer before painting it, wouldnt it show grey if it get scratched?
Unless ofcourse if there's a brown primer....
TJ - I understand your point, but even though the Marmit version is 1/6 scale, it is still better replicating a 3D model that you can hold rather than 'guestimating' 2D pics......which isnt even clear to begin with.
I may have not explained it clearly, but the pics above posted by MaxP would still require bondo/filling by my worker in the grip area. The Marmit grip has a wave design & the 2 horizontal lines (the upper line is a frown) you see on the pics above are just the pinnacles of the wave/ridge line. Once thats bondoed, you would see the final shape which we will be posting pics of.
No worries.....it will look good
As for the holster.....my bad, thought it was made in leather. I'm not a diver & havent seen this before, sorry.
Is that Nemrod speargun holster easily available?
If you guys can find that, then I dont think I would need to replicate it.
If its something hard, then it could probably be made out of Fiberglass....but you guys are the expert, so LMK.
