The Rifle

Well, I figured since the costumes me and my brother made for the Maryland Renaissance Festival were such a hit, I wanted to start putting a few of my pictures of the costume process. This rifle I started working on for my costume didn't get finished in time. But here's the first photo of when I started working on it.

The main body is comprised of a broken tool called a pneumatic fastener - here's a picture of what it usually looks like -> encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/sho… . These tools are used to fasten things like wood to things like concrete. So...yeah. The rear was already gutted for parts, so I added an old spent fuel filter from my Dad's truck, attached an old valve from a broken air compressor - I got a lot of old tools at my house - and that made up the back. The front is from an outside light fixture - which is covered in tape cause I painted it before I snapped the pic - which had a roundish cage design, and I figured it would look cool as a steampunk rifle barrel decoration.

I got more pictures like this to work on and I will upload them soon. Also, if anyone on DeviantArt who lives in Maryland and or was at the Maryland Renaissance Festival remembers seeing a steampunk themed guy with goggles, a walking stick, and giant prosthetic left hand, could you please post the pictures or at least leave a comment below please? Thanks!
