Hello all, pretty new around these parts, still getting on into this whole crafting / custom paint jobbing business, not to mention steampunk! Love the aesthetics. Figured I should contribute something to the forum whilst I'm here, so ill start with me guns!
This is actually my first ever attempt at painting up a gun, decided to go for the lanard rotator cause it's just so badass and chunky. Its not the best ever paint job, i know but I'm quite proud of how it turned out, despite the fact it no longer works. Apparently i suck at putting things back together. The handle still needs to be painted.
Here's another of my attempts, i really don't like this one, i think the all copper wth a dab of gold / brass was too much. Like the rotator, this was last years work ands its handle needs to be painted also.
And here we have one of two water pistols i got for £1 at the local Poundstretcher up the road. I'll probably end up taking this guy apart in the future to reuse the parts, reason being that trying to pry this little bugger apart caused some cracks and holes which are somewhat noticeable, I really just wanted to see how it would look painted up with random bits stuck too it! The before pic is the unfortunately broken brother of the customised one.
