Awesome design on the gun, bazzer!
So, it unfolds a lot better, you say? Excellent!
The shape you have there is superb, a lot better than some of the designs I've seen used for this type of gun, which use straight sides that one has to emboss to impart a proper curve...the construction will probably be a lot easier if the piece uses a petal form which imparts the curved surfaces in the construction method...great job!
Cheers!
