Artist's Comments

My latest creation, the Gaslight Gun! A tiny gas lantern rests atop a small chamber, with two loupes to focus the light. One loupe is a beam focuser, the other is a ruby, which makes the 'dot' appear red. A small wired switch ignites the lamp and the loupes focus the beam down to a small red dot, showing you exactly where your weapon is aimed.


This is a modified Nerf Maverick with a decorative embellishment along the bottom. The 'gas cannister' is an airsoft laser site, and the lenses are jeweler's loupes. The small lamp is exactly that, one designed for a dollhouse.

The paintjob looks like it took a lot of time to do.

I especially like the ornament on the underside of the barrel and the brushed look of the paint.

Bloody well done. :+fav:

Thank you very much! Yeah, there is definitely a lot of time in this one, but I think it was worth it.

I've seen a lot of Mavericks like this, and I have just one question: what exactly is 'steampunk'?

Wonderful job on this!! I am working on making my own and i was wondering what kind of paint you use for it? If you airbrush it then what kind of paint would you use if you didn't airbrush? I have asked a few people and each answer is different. I'm just trying to find out what the best product would be. Again amazing job!!

Steampunk is the concept of modern technology seeping into previous centuries.

It's kind of like... Victorian clothing and lifestyle but with modern technology like guns, that are possibly powered by the technology of the time--steam.

It'd be like them having a computer that ran on a steam/gear/pulley system. Sort of like that.

Your art makes my brain wiggle.
No. Really. It does.

I actually paint the base in a flat black, then I use the rub n buff metallic wax to give it that real metal finish. I then blot the entire thing with other dark colors to give it texture. I am going to do a tutorial soon. And thank you!

Oh please tell me which rub'n buff color you used for this copper tone! I've been ramming my head against a wall with acrylic metallics that are just not the right color. I'm painting an airzooka for a steampunk costume.

I looked up rub'n buff but the copper I saw spanish copper only and it looked much darker than yours...
