After contacting local airsoft shop and being told they can't print the KS-23 3D print kit, decided to take things into my own hands.
I don't have any metalwork experience so what I could use was fairly basic, the fore end is essentially made from card, reinforced with some small metal L brackets.
Pistol grip is similar, made from card, the grip itself is just a metal weight with layers of card and tape to give it the desired shape. I tried to add as many of the small details of the KS-23 as possible, such as the raised body work on the sides and the iron sights.
Used a long barrelled metal Cyma tri-shot as the base and sawed off the barrel.

Mainly planning to have it as a "display piece" for my Russian kit, but is functional and solid enough to use despite the questionable material choice.

Good work, as you say, the materials are questionable, but there's no disputing the end result is very effective. 👍
