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

Home D-

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. I wonder how drillable that plastic is...

Shipping/packaging stores, or framing joints, maybe. Big ass tubes are used to ship things like posters.

Also, we still going as Oregon Trail? 'Cause I'll die of dysentery, you just try me.

Defnately. I was meaning to email you to make sure before I start, but I figure I can make a hat between now and Animefest. Are we doing just hats, or other stuff too? :)

Hats only would be strangely awesome..

I do think hats only would work pretty well-- I can make a headband of tombstones for my black top hat, we could do headbands for Brett and maybe Jason (who, of course, will have killed all the animals in the area). Atma, if he'll be there. I just need to find some screencaps so I can get the font right. Because I care, for no good reason at all.

What IS it with that one farging site? TVTropes: it giveth and taketh away. But it knows about every single bit of pop culture I have ever ever asked it for.

Also, sweet foma, toy oxen will be thumb -biting cute.

I'm pretty sure I saw the perfect toy oxen at michaels when I was there last. If not, well... I might try my hand at making some.

I've your looking for some inspiration for Steampunk gadgets and gear, I can point you to the page for one of the big artists for Privateer Press' Warmachine setting, based off of the old D&D 3.5 RPG setting in the Iron Kingdoms. http://cwalton73.deviantart.com/ Walton has some brilliant mechanical designs and costumes he creates for the setting and while it's a combination of magic and steam punk science, if you're looking for ideas it might be worth a shot.

I should mention, for Steampunk, the steamfashion and budgetsteam communities here on LJ. 'Cause I'm a member, and all.

There are communities on LJ for this? *crawls out from under rock*
