Well, as promised, I put together a video detailing some of the techniques I used on my two steampunk guns. I covered how to create the worn metal effect, and how to use inks. I'll have to make another video with the wood technique.


I'd like to know how you guys want to solve this. I worked fairly hard to finish this in a timely manner, and have put up with many distractions. (Most notably the F22 that was flying above my neighborhood all day. Those fuckers are loud!)



EDIT:

Well, you can disregard most of the posts. I have hosted the files on rapidshare. The links are further down the page. If for some reason you can't use rapid share, I can still email the video. I hope you enjoy the nice full screen video. I feel that the slight inconvenience of downloading it is worth not putting up with shitty youtube quality.

Comment away!

Well, like I said, I've been working on a maverick. Not much to say about it. It is done in a pepperbox style, like victorian revolvers.










Like the other gun it's on eBay. Comments welcome. I'm probably not going to make any more steampunk themed guns. At least for a while. The good news is that I did shoot some videos of the painting process. I'll compile them, throw in some music, and put it on youtube. I didn't cover the wood technique that everyone was asking about, but if you're really desperate to learn it I can probably explain it.

Okay, I have been doing my research on the blastfire. I know that the pump is finicky, so I have some questions.

Let me lay it out;

I have the old edition,

I want to integrate several guns.

Here's what I am wondering;

Ideally, I'd plug the pump. Should I? I want to fully pressurize the integrated guns without making the blastfire's trigger pull ridiculously hard.

Should I opt for an additional at2k pump below the bf's for the integrations? If so, should I still plug the bf's pump?

I'm just concerned about fucking up my bf, and having to settle for a hornet.

So, I was pretty impressed with the stuff OS1, or professor Shagnasty was putting out. I wanted to try it out for myself. I had an RFR lying around, so I figured rather than not being able to sell it here, with some time and paint, I could make a decent amount for it on ebay. Anyways, pics:














I hand painted it all with Citadel (aka warhammer) paints. It took probably eight or nine hours in total. This was over the course of a week. It's not modded, and still gets RFR ranges (i.e. terrible). I'm pretty happy with it though. I set out to create a steampunk nerf gun and it didn't turn out to be a pile of shit. I'd really love to hear everybody's comments. Also, it's up on eBay. *wink*
I forgot to mention, it's called the L.A.R. 6 for lever action rifle 6. As you can see it's painted on the mag along with "pax in terra" latin for peace on earth.

So I actually created my lancer back in october for a halloween project. My floormates and I are big into gears, and I thought they would get a kick out of it. I made the gun in two days, and only with materials I had at hand (minus they toy chainsaw, I bought at walmart). My lancer is far less refined than Forsaken angel's, but I made it to look cool and still use in nerf wars. It looked better when I first made it, but I think it has held up well after seeing some action. Anyways, pics:








I regret not posting it sooner. Seeing what forsaken angel did, I felt compelled to post my ghetto-er version. The chainsaw is velcroed on so that I can remove it during games. I think it is a good balance of replication and functionality. Comment away.
