G'day All,

One of our local mechants has recently obtained a range of guns suitable for steampunk costumes.

They currently have them all posted on facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=1092...74&v=photos

For those who aren't on facebook, I'll see if I can get some photos.

They are made out resin, and are durable but not suitable for bashing around (ie - good for general use, but don't try to pistol whip anybody with them). laugh.gif


Regards,
Bodkin.

Millennium Comics & Collectables was the stall that was selling these items at Brisnova. Look out for their stall if they go to Sydney.

part of me really wants to make one myself, but instant gratification is so much fun!

The rifle sized one was fantastic, but SO HEAVY!

G'day All,

I was just talking to Rob from Millenium - he's not going to Sydney sad.gif But has posted them all on Ebay under username Ozyoda1972.

If you can't find it PM me and I can give you an email address or phone number.



Hmm, working on a costume idea that requires two Annilihators & twp Big Daddies - is that going overboard? Just have to work out the holsters.

Ok... I was thinking about brining one of my non-realistic looking guns to the ball... First and foremost though... Does anyone know the rules on flying with it? It'd be in checked luggage, but I don't want to get to Adelaide and find my prized possession gone because they thought it was real or something.

(Not that I think you could EVER think it was real looking at even from a distance!).

Pack it seperately and tell the check in person what it is.
The easier alternative is just post it to one of us beforehand.
