Steampunk Spiderman Wrist Blaster

This was a little project I had to do since this everything about this blaster is totally steampunk other than it's stock colors.

I took it apart and did a very quick rang mod of removing the ARs, which just fall out like those in a maverick, and plugging the little holes in each barrel.

The ranges are good, just like you'd expect out of an air blaster.  It takes about 15-20 pumps to get full range.  I did have some problems with this thing exploding darts and I'm not sure why it was happening or why it stopped.
For paint I just used a satin black base and used the cheapo dollar craft paint you can find at any craft store for the metallic brass, silver and copper.

Rotator X-8 "Piece of 8" by LGC

And so it begins....
Kicking off my first post of LGCs work with his Rotator X-8s
These are lanard blasters which are hard or overpriced to get your hands on which just makes me want one even more, especially when they are made to look like this.

These things just look amazing when painted and look like they were made to be steampunked.
More awesomeness after the jump!

Custom Shells Using Pepakura

One thing that I have been working on for a while that I haven't seen anywhere else in nerfdom is totally home made custome shells.
Using a free program called pepakura I've printed out a and folded up a few candidates such as the covenant needler from Halo pictured to the right.
These are made using card stock then the they are to be covered in fiberglass resin and body filler where needed to get rounded instead of angular polygon edges.
The cool thing is that because of the way this program works you can pull actual models from video games and print them out and fold them into faithful replicas.  More to come on this as I figure it all out.
1 Download Pepakura:  The free version of the program lets you do everything but DL here
2 Find and download a model you like and re-size it if needed
3 Use 110 weight card stock anything else is going to be too flimsy
4 Print cut out the shapes and glue. You can use anything strong for glue but i prefer hot glue
5 Use fiberglass resin to coat the paper model, several coats will be needed.

More to come on this.  I was on this step when my girlfriend stepped on and crushed the model I was working on to make a rayven into a halo assault rifle. So its back to the beginning for me.
