Fool Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Me and a friend are going to see a band (Abney Park) at a steampunk con....My first thought was to build a biker scout steampunk costume....I decided that one month was not enough time to do that, so I just made the blaster pistol. Here are the pictures. And yes...sigh, I did spell blaster wrong.... Quote
Arnie Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Thats cool!! I hope youre keeping the colours it have now?!! Quote
Smitty Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Thats sweet! I've always been just an onlooker when it comes to steampunk but yep, that right there is pretty darn sweet! Quote
Fool Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 I had to post the pictures here, I don't think that it will be obvious at the con what it is meant to be. My buddy's gun (that he is making) is way cooler in style. I has glowing electric wire running throughout it. Both of us tend to go a little overboard when we decide to do something We have no idea if we will enjoy the con or not, we are just going to see Abney Park. But as long as we are going, we might as well dress the part. Also, we decided to "dress" on a budget, neither of us can spend more then $50 on everything. The total cost of my gun is about $6, in parts. Quote
Arnie Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Building on a budget, and pulling it off. How about that Splendid job. Be sure to post a picture of you and your budy in your finished costumes Quote
Smiling Fox Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Dude, that is one of the coolest things I have seen. And I am not even into Steampunk. That totally rocks! Quote
Fool Posted May 29, 2012 Author Posted May 29, 2012 We had a blast! Here we are with weapons present. Next year I'm thinking full steampunk bikerscout.... Quote
zihyer Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Amazing work on this. Thanks for sharing! Quote
EnigmaEngine Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 As a fellow steampunker (coughairshippiratecough) and fan of Abney Park, well done sir. Quote
