Destiny Ace of Spades exotic hand cannon and Silvered Maverick MK. 41
When Destiny was being developed, the first year items arguably had the most time and budget compared to its expansions, which by comparison seemed less flushed out cosmetically. They all had harmonious design motifs, more striking paint jobs, that sort of thing typically saved for legendary and exotic items in the expansions to follow. As a result, we got some pretty cool rare and even common/uncommon items that looked beautifully designed.
One of the designs was the Sivered Maverick MK41. I fell in love right away, and added it to my build list early on. Not much later during an expansion the exotic Ace of Spades hand cannon was announced, which was simply a tweaked year 1 rare hand cannon called the Hard Luck MK. 52. Seeing the chance to nail a personal project, and an exotic hand cannon with the same sculpt was a no-brainer, and this project took shape. The grip and receiver are borrowed from my previous hand cannons, and the rest is sculpted almost entirely out of styrene, with a hair of MDF and epoxie sculpt.
It is perfectly in scale with my other hand cannons, and measures a beastly 17" long. Both feature a moving hammer, a swing out/rotating cylinder, and an eject-able power cell.
