For an upcoming GASLIGHT photo shoot, Chris and I have been bashing together toys and odd bits to create fake Pulp weapons. \u00a0I’m working on two, a six-barrelled gun and a six-barrelled pistol. \u00a0Hmmm. \u00a0I didn’t realize I had a theme going until I typed that last sentence.<\/p>\n

This shows the early stages of the six-barrelled rifle. \u00a0The basic building block consisted of seven pieces of PVC pipe and a PVC connector.<\/p>\n

At this point, the rifle has been assembled and decorated with gears, etc. \u00a0You can’t see much of that, but I wanted to show this picture for scale. \u00a0The round portion on the top will be fitted with a slide carousel as a Lewis-like ammunition magazine. \u00a0I’ll be dry brushing the weapon with silver paint and then painting the decorations in other colors so they stand out. \u00a0I’ll also be adding a cardboard “stock.”<\/p>\n

The six-barrelled pistol began as a Nerf pistol. \u00a0I took this one from my son, but I replaced it with a new one. \u00a0With some gears and other bits from the craft store, I’ve been decorating the gun.<\/p>\n

Here’s another shot for scale. \u00a0Again you can’t see too many of the decorations. \u00a0At this point, I have sprayed it black, so that it’s ready for dry brushing and other detail paining.<\/p>\n

While the lighting in this picture is poor, you can see some of the details I’ve added. \u00a0Look closely.<\/p>\n
