Packing Some Steampunk

Steampunk jewelry has never been for me, but I still respect people making things in this currently popular style. So I often find myself searching for Steampunk stuffs on Etsy.

I recently found and can’t stop thinking about these awesome converted toy guns by River Wraith.

Can you believe this is a converted Nerf gun, made of plastic? It has been painted, aged, and sealed with a gloss. The gun no longer fires Nerf bullets. It is strictly a prop or costume gun. For just $28.00, this gun makes me want to write and film my own little space opera.

And look at this one!

Seriously, these are amazing. Check out River Wraith for even more.

    Looks bad. There is no real design direction, the painting technique is flawed, the logos are all visible (I sand all mine off) & the gears are too polished. Never mind the fact that they’re just randomly hanging off of the gun with no real purpose. And what’s the function of that wire thingy up at the top? Plus the gun doesn’t fire anymore?! Sorry, but this is garbage, utter fail.

    Here’s a tip, Vinyl paint, dry brushing, as much physical body mods as you can do while retaining the functionality of the gun (there’s nothing like a prop that fires), lighting (LED, EL wire, fiber optics) & finally, it’s hard to ask the rhetorical question “can you believe this is a nerf gun made of plastic” when the giant NERF logo is on the side of the gun.
