I was thinking about an all brass colored exterior perhaps with false screws or bolts. It should probably have a large, bulky look to it with plenty of hammer dents. The front handle could be made of hardwood. The trigger should be a pistol grip with fake pearl handle. It should also be engraved to give it to the 19th century appearance. I am currently stuck on how to give it a Dr. Grordbort's Infallible Aether Oscillators (http://www.wetanz.com/holics/index.php?catid=4) look to it. I don't know what else, Pressure gauges? Vacuum tubes? Spinning dials? or even a steam whistle.<br />I thought at least the back section should be a steam engine. Or perhaps I should design a backpack that doubles for the steam engine and an ammo box with fake ammunition feeder going to the gun.<br />I also want to replicate the vest and articulating arm use with "smartgun" (http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/M56_Smartgun) from the second Aliens movie. A brass frame with welded D-ring buckles. Leather padding with stitch thick leather belts which would connect to the D-ring buckles on the frame. The articulated arm would also be created from brass colored metal with suitable brass colored springs. This way the gun could be maneuverable in many different directions as well as enjoying a stable shooting platform. I would like to use as much brass as possible. I'm estimating a budget of at least $15,000. Yet I have to be fair, I've only been thinking and planning for about three days. If more people are interested we could possibly reduce the cost.Jorgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07449067469736337364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927870683677181756.post-41058306208238963332010-09-22T12:07:26.424-04:002010-09-22T12:07:26.424-04:00Wow.
