Rococopunk Gun Challenge

Description

This blaster was created for entry into the Steampunk Gun Club (Facebook) Steampunk Rococo Gun Challenge (Plastic and Paint Division).
________________________________________________________
As you can see at the bottom of the image, I started out with a BuzzBee toys Pirate Blaster.

From there I ripped out all of the foam dart blaster internals except the trigger mechanism, then installed a modified 2 AA battery compartment, a switch and an ultra bright tri color LED mounted to the back end of a vacuum tube.

From there I started working on the external Rococo styling, hand sculpted from Apoxi Scultp epoxy putty. I add a little voltage meter opposite the flintlock hammer, then primed the whole thing in black with spray paint. The metallic sections were done with Rub N Buff, followed by the purple which was done with Vallejo Acrylic model paint. I then did some shading with Citadel brand wash. Then the whole thing was sealed using AMACO all purpose sealer.
