Friday Finds: Steampunk Gun Tutorials

One of the most popular steampunk crafts is to decorate, mod, or build your own gun.  I did a tutorial on painting a steampunk gun myself.

But there are other great guides out there.






This Instructable is a fantastic guide to painting aged metal and wood grain looks onto plastic guns.  Seriously, you need to read this before painting a gun.

Epbot has an excellent tutorial on making a raygun from brass candle holder parts, glass bottles, and wood.








And finally, this is an excellent, although lengthy, video on how to steampunk a plastic gun, including making rivets, painting, and adding bits.
