I have a lot of admiration for people like Mike Iverson and their skill and imagination when it comes to taking something that only exists in our favorite video game and make it something real that you can hold in your hand.

In this case I am talking about Iverson’s fantastic replica of the sawed-off shotgun as seen in Gears of War but here’s what makes it even better. Mike has a complete set of images from the build process of the replica as well as some downloadable plans at his Blind Squirrel Props blog should you want to make a replica for yourself.
