A long time ago, in a place far far away (California, 1908) one of our Tek Scouts came across this beauty in a partially destroyed laboratory within dangerous distance of a large comet impact zone. It's original designer named it the "Westar - 34". According to documentation found at the lab, it was one of two like it in the world, meant for a gunslinger that was out of this world. Well when the engineers and artisans at the Tek Armory got a hold of it, we decided to make it look more like the work of art it is. Primarily constructed of brass, steel and ebony wood grips, we thought some silver filigree would also fit nicely with the design.
__________________________

Original is a Star Wars toy replica of Jango Fett's pistols. It makes blaster noises but has no lighting elements. Originally white and orange, I primed it black, then used AMACO Rub N Buff to make the metallic finishes, The filigree is made from cheap metal jewelry pieces.

I have one more that I'm still working on, when the second is finished they will be paired and either made into a dueling set, or I'll make a dual holster belt for them.

Holy crap! This is the best paint job on plastic I've seen. I need to get my hands on some of that AMACO stuff. Where'd you buy it?

Oh yeah, it's also important that you also buy AMACO All Purpose Sealer. Which is a brush on sealant that goes on milky and dries clear. Spray clearcoats dissolve the wax base of the Rub N Buff and can degrade the finish (unless you want that rough weathered look)

They sell select colors of it at Michael's craft stores, you can sometimes find it at Hobby Lobby. But I've taken to just buying it from AMACO's website: [link]

The colors I used on this were Grecian Gold and Silverflake.

No, the gun came with a noisemaker circuit but no lights. Unlike many noise making toy guns though, the speaker is actually in the end of the barrel.
