Description
Started it's life as a little 99 cent water pistol. Used a flat black base and then a few metallic accent colors. There are a few brass colored parts, but they were meant to be faint.I even put it on the eBay! [link] Maybe I can sell it to offset the money I keep spending on new paints!

I like the fact that the base model is merely a 99 cent water gun. Awesome job.

Ya, you know the less the cost of the gun, the more time I seem to spend trying to make it special. Treasure from trash kind of thing, I suppose. Really glad you like them!

Geez, it looks awesome! Didn't realize it was a water pistol until reading your comment. Very great work.

Thank you for that! That's the enjoyable part of this for me, taking cheapie plastic things and making them look like they are actual metal. I have lots to learn, but it's a fun learning experience and I actually sell the ones I make so I'm getting money back to buy more project supplies Can't beat that, right?!

It's from that period of time (1880's-1910) for the victorian style that they use in Steam-punk roleplay. I decided not to go the brass color route on this one. This was apparently not as high-end as the brass models
