BFG

This year I decided to make a big f'n gun to go with my costume, so I started with a sweet nerf gun I purchased on eBay.
It had a removable front section that I'm going to relocate to the bottom of the gun.
I decided to cut some bits out to make the sections fit together. I did this with my band saw & Dremel tool.

I'm going to have to cut some pieces of plastic to fill the gaps & give me a surface to epoxy to.
I took the gun pieces apart & took all of the parts out for paint.
These are the extra plastic pieces I made out a material called sintra plastic. Good material. It cuts easy, & can be shaped with heat.
The first thing I had to do was to get everything in primer...
Ah yes, much better!

After Spraying a base coat of hammered metal finish, I then masked the gun and painted the remaining areas with a gloss black.

Lookin' pretty sweet!
Now that everything is painted, it's time to epoxy it all together!

Lookin' cool!
Now it's time to build the crazy rail/frame for it.
