I don't even have the costume designed yet, but I'm thinking about steampunk weaponry. I'm thinking a gas gun.


The "handle" is this with very little modification other than paint. The backpack will be much harder to find parts for. Any idea where to find a clear plastic tube over a foot in diameter?

For tingirl, here's my idea for the wagon-hat. n_n

I need to start playing FPSes at you. There have been a maddening number of really slick looking guns made up for the avalanche of games humanity has produced so far.
let's see.. Start here.

If you go to that page, look at the second-to-last entry on the list. That's what your drawing makes me think you're going for. More or less. Probably slap on a steam engine for good measure ^_^

I must draw that now, I think.

Date: 2010-07-16 07:50 am (UTC)There are communities on LJ for everything, and double plus so for Steampunk. But Steamfashion and Budget Steam are actually on topic and fairly low traffic (2-5 posts a day, generally).
After an initial viewing of your designs...
Date: 2010-07-17 04:56 pm (UTC)I'm serious - that really did look like a Proton Pack to me XD
Looking forward to seeing the end result of this project ^_^
