Two Halloweens later I accidentally left those guns at the Goblins and Gears Masquerade Ball. Ever since then I've been hunting dollar stores, Wal-Mart, Target, pharmacies, or any other sort of cheap toy store for guns that would be comparable to the ones I lost.
I was finally successful in my search last month when I found two water guns that seemed like they would be appropriately steampunk. This time, however, I spray painted the guns a bronze color, then detailed in a gunmetal paint and gold outlining.
Then I took a decorative gap that was already in the guns and glued clockwork to the inside:
Scott thought that the guns looked too shiny and not very steampunk, so he suggested we put a black wash on the guns to give them a sooty, industrially roughed up look.
The results:
Not too bad, actually. After spraying a clear matte finish on them they look appropriately battle-worn.
Now time to make some holsters for these babies so I don't accidentally leave them behind at another steampunk event in the future.
