I remember consulting with YodaJammies over the dimensions when I was rendering and he suggested around 17" as it is a machine pistol rather than a sub-machine gun.
I may have supplied you with an older version prior to the scaling change, I apologize if this causes any set back for you.
I suppose it all depends on the fit of the grip to your fingers.
Do you have any images of it being held by an adult?
It's hard to gauge the size with your nephew.

I went ahead and measured it and it is 21.5" overall. The grip is a bit beefy (a bit bigger than my airsoft Desert Eagle .50cal pistol) so I'm thinking re-scaling it might be a good idea.
Here's how it looks right now:
Any chance you can rework the model to make the magazine a separate part? Looking at it, I'd hate to run the carving again and still have the mag fixed in place.

Model with removable mag now sent.
Rescaled to roughly 17 1/2" as well.

Parts arrived, Halloween passed, and I got Lopez back to work on this baby. I think 17.5" overall is just about right:
Pictured is the inner right slice. There will be four slices all told when this thing is done. Here's another angle showing the grip in my perfectly average sized hand:
It's a tiny bit snug, but I'm pretty happy with it overall. Thoughts?

It looks great to me, can't wait to see the rest of it.
The references I used made the grip a little tight but I wanted to be as game accurate as possible.

Mill work is done. I've epoxied the slices back together now that I've figured out how to keep it open for lights and wiring. Here's a pic from this afternoon:
There will be two separate panels to cover the hole on the left side. The first will be glued in place after installing lights and whatnot. The second will be fitted snugly so it can be pulled off to replace batteries like the left panel on my M3 Predator pistols:
You can read more about my predator pistol build here, here, here, and here.
If you'd like one for yourself, shoot me a PM. They're gorgeous when they're finished:

Progress continues. Here's a shot of the piece in primer:
After oodles and gobs of filling, sanding, and detailing, it looks like so:
Right now I'm still trying to find references for what the muzzle and the top of the magazine should look like. IF you have any, please post them here.
Work will continue tomorrow. Stay tuned...

I've re-tooled the groves in the grip and coated the black parts with a layer of Rustoleum Stone textured paint:
If I wasn't planning on molding it, I would've used a more durable textured paint such as DupiColor Truck Bed Coating.
I still need to figure out what the top of the magazine and the end of the barrels look like. Any help would be appreciated.

Added the lettering and the barrels last night:
Here's a winning scale shot:
I've got a tiny bit more tweaking to do, but this thing's going under the rubber tonight.
Tyr's getting the first casting. I'm keeping the second one. After that I'll start a Junkyard thread.
Stay tuned...

It looks amazing.
So amazing that I keep refreshing your Flickr feed hoping for more.

Well here's the mold box mostly done:
My workshop camera is acting up, so I didn't get any pictures of the finished mold box.
Here I am dumping in a bucket of goo:
I ran out of energy before I'd finished filling the box last night, so I've essentially bought myself an additional day of wiating for plurple goo to solidify before I'm able to pull any casts. It wont' be tomorrow, but probably Monday or Tuesday when I've got casts coming out of the mold.
Anybody want one?

Looks like the first half of the mold came out alright:
The second half was poured last night:
I had a friend helping out and he mixed the silicone a bit too light on the last batch that was poured in. It'll be a bit later today before it's ready to pull castings.
I also made the separate molds for the magazine, rear site, and one of the separate panels on the left side of the SMG:
I'll start a classified thread once I've got a couple of pulls out of the molds.

First two pulls successful!
