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

Wait, clear? Shit. I have no idea.

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 ^_^

Kinda, only more 'I made this from spare parts' and less 'this is a modified super soaker' - nevermind that I'm using a minimally modifed super soaker. The picture looks like the water guns I find the most of. XD;

I'm thinking there's got to be some sort of packaging I could use for the fuel tank...

Oh! I still have that plastic tube the bath scrubby things came in. It's not wide enough for a single tank, but it's long enough I could cut in half for TWO tanks...

Or this (http://www.containerstore.com/shop/kitchen/foodStorage/canisters?productId=10008170&N=74062). I wonder how drillable that plastic is...

I kind of worry they'd shatter. But if they don't, it would be rather good for what you're thinking maybe?

That's my concern too. But it's pretty close to the size I had in mind...I think I might add checking them out to my to-do list this weekend.
