Just finished my latest gun. I wanted to try combining a bunch of found objects and really make it steampunkish. It's nonfunctional but I think it's a fun prop. I'm calling it the X3 Mostly Nonlethal Anti-personal Blunderbuss.

Finished my first full out gun mod a few days ago. Just haven't had time to post it yet. This was mad from a buzz bee tek-3. It's a really inexpensive nerf type gun. sometimes you can find sets of two or three for $5 new at the store. I got mine for 75 cents at a thrift shop. It makes me think of a small gun a gambler might keep up his sleeve or tucked into a showgirl's garter.



Next project I'm going to try to make a gun from scratch. From odds and ends I've gathered in my explorations. It won't actually shoot anything, but I'm hoping to end up with a decent showpiece.

I've been doing some research on how to mod toy guns. So I visited the local thrift store and bought a 75 cent gun to practice on. Keep in mind it is my first attempt at this.

What have I learned? Lay down a coat of plastic primer first. Sand with a smaller grit sand paper. I've also found a good tutorial on painting fake wood grain. Now on to the next practice gun.
