Greetings, my fellow hard-working steampunk friends! I am hoping that you all can help me with suggestions that have to do with a NERF gun I have been working on.
I spent the past week working on this at a friends house. I'm planning on taking it with me as a prop for a steampunk costume to a convention this weekend(WOOT for SakuraCon!). It's a simple NERF N-Strike Maverick that I have gutted and painted so far. I know, the paint job on the handle is a little messy. It seems I didn't press the tape down hard enough before I started painting it.
Anywho, I was hoping that I could get some ideas as to what I could add to make it a little more steamy. My Dad has been helping me, and we've been bouncing ideas off of each other, but I thought some outside influences would be nice.
Edit: Before anybody says anything about the orange section on the end of the barrel. I kept it that way for the sake of the convention officials and police in the area. They're not always the brightest bunch up here where I live. I plan on painting it after the convention.
Thank you for any and all suggestions. I really appreciate it!
