Two were kinda ‘contemporary’ and one was what I would think of as a cowboy gun.
I used two cheap doctors toy sets, the kind with stetescopes (sp?) And syringes etc. Glued lots of bits on, with other random stuff I have lying around. Then spray painted. I added more paint, but still wasn’t happy. The tube bits reacted with the spray paint and stayed sticky.
So I busted out the silver leaf. After dirtying the guns with some brown paint, I added silver leaf here and there. Wrapped the handles with strips of pleather. Added some copper wire to the cowboy gun, this is the least successful imho.
Ooooh I think they look great @Edel, I love all the tubes and attachments!! Great idea working around the sticky tube problem with the silver leaf too.
I have a vague memory of taking apart some toy guns (that I had from previous fancy dress parties!) to steampunk up for the ole steampunk wedding, but for the life of me I can’t remember if we did or what happened to them!!

Congratulations! Your awesome project is one of this week’s featured projects!
