This Spyder ("The Mouse") will be my entry for the POP contest. I plan on doing a spump where I will make a custom trigger frame and pump kit by hand and plan on half blocking and splash anno on the body. Thank you for the creation of the contest!

Update 11/4/20
Half blocked the body:
Mock up of the build. Added a few parts into the mix, all of which I already had in my spyder parts box (ccm feedneck, vasa, forgrip, asa.) Frame I designed. it was kit bashed from a ccm 86 and standard spyder frame. I then made a mold of the frame pattern to which I pressure cast a homemade machinable wax mixture.
Here is the Wax clone of the 86 spyder frame which I will do an investment casting of in aluminum or brass hopefully this week if I can find the time...

Tonight I made a plaster silica investment mold of the frame, hoping to cast it this weekend. I also modeled a pump arm that I will sand cast the rough shape and then machine it down and add threading. I am currently printing the pump arm in two halfs with key locks in the middle to make casting easier. Today I also purchased a spyder threaded freak barrel on facebook which I plan on anodizing to match the rest of the build. Total spent ATM $30 (freak barrel)

I would like to get yalls opinion on if I should go low pressure or not. I have a few dye hyper 2s in a parts box so the only additional costs would be maybe a spring kit. Thoughts? Thanks!

Last night I did the burn out of the mold and poured the casting. It didn't turnout as happy as I had planned but it'll still work just going to require a little more finishing work.

Today I made the mold and casted the pump arm, now I have to machine it. BTW I am getting an error message now when I try to upload photos so I am using imgur...

Okay got back to working on the poo... Today I milled the body more, went with a slightly different design. I also cut the stock double trigger down to a single to fit the frame. I milled out some space in the frame to hold the trigger mechs, drilled holes for the pins, and did some finishing work on the frame.

Here Is a mock up of the parts to give you an idea of how its going to look. I am also probably going to go low pressure and added a dye hyper 2 to the mix which I already had in a parts bin. I will have to order a spring kit though. I am trying to decide on a color to go with, I am thinking of doing a black and silver splash with smoke pump handle and grip panels. Any suggestions on color?
