New Steampunk Guns

I managed to get a couple of new guns painted last week, both plastic toy guns.
I followed the usual procedure, dismantle if necessary, masking tape used if necessary, everything sanded, embellishments added where wanted. Then a spray coat of acrylic primer followed by a spray coat of matt black acrylic paint.
Then they were both hand painted with acrylic colours and finished with a coat of clear lacquer for protection.

I almost forgot, both of these guns were modified by cutting off the clunky plastic handle which is used for cocking them and replacing them with metal rings which I think look much better.

Steampunk Sawed Off Gun

Here's a recently finished gun, a slightly modified toy. I removed the small stock so it looks more like a hand held, and changed the clunky looking plastic cocking mechanism for a brass ring. The gun was de-seamed where necessary then primed with acrylic spray paint then sprayed with acrylic matt black then hand painted with acrylic paints. Finally it was given two coats of matt lacquer for protection. I used a Huntsman Boomstick as the starting point, they're available on Amazon as well as other stores.
