I’m not a fan of first-person shooters, but it seems lots of players are having a blast with Destiny, whether or not it lived up to its hype. If you’re one of the game’s fans, check out Etsy seller Eric Newgard’s shop. He channeled his inner Xander 99-40, and is offering his handmade replica of Thorn, one of the rarest weapons in the game.
Eric made a 3D printed mold and then cast the replica out of urethane. The main body, the grip, the gear pin and the gears are all separate pieces, so you can turn each gear separately. I’m not sure if it’s easy to take apart and put together though. He then painted and airbrushed the pieces and applied artificial weathering to make it look more authentic.
For comparison’s sake, here’s the Destiny Wikia’s image of Thorn:
Eric is selling the replica for $420 (USD) each. He’s also selling a raw version for $195. Take a jumpship to Eric’s Etsy shop ImpactPropsCA to order.
