I borrowed a Nelspot from a user a while ago - bout time I started working on it. It's a nice piece! Gold trigger. You know who you are Looking for mod ideas (in general).
Specifically for this thread tho : I am doing grips. Grips could use a re-fresh, ya'll got dirty grips.
I spent a full ass work day pretty much just spec'ing in just the dang template lol since I don't have CAD files we're going by feel on this one. Then I decided, I'd prefer to free-form polygonal model it (ala Blender style) unlike my other projects. The only other polygonal project I've done was the havoc grip. Grips are hard to make in Fusion. Someone make a tutorial lol.
I am remodeling the grips that came with this loaner (in my own style), they're like lite-sportsman grips, if you have another idea for a specific grip please post pics or reference.
Edit : Added 'curve' shape still ugly. Added inside cutouts. Gotta fix ugly outsides still
edit pic 5 : taken under harsh lighting to show surface faults. Dang modeling these subtle surfaces is annoying lol. This is essentially the shape of the 'lame side', the vanilla side, as the 'thumb side' will have the more pronounced features like thumb rest. Should be bout time for a test-print soon.
update 6 : smoothed out most of the ugly, now this should be a nice base to go off from.
Update 7 : Vertical Print test (just a test if my printer won't crash into it and fail the print). 2h
Update 8 : Test print very sexsessful - will post updates after further progress.
Update 9 : Okay LAST 3d CGI render tease, now I can finally stop calling it ugly and now drool at it sexy. I am printing a full 2 half set of symmetrical grips to demo and that will be the next post :P
