A CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE TWO TANKS ON TOP OF THE FLAME GUN. PAINTING THEM GLOSS BLACK, GIVES THE WEAPON MORE DEFINITION AND A COOL LOOK. THE FIRST PHOTO OF MY NEWLY DESIGNED AND PAINTED WEAPON. I STILL MIGHT DO A FEW MORE THINGS TO IT, LIKE ADDING SOME GLOSS TO THE TWO LARGE TANKS. THIS WEAPON IS MORE OF A FLAME THROWER, THAN A RAY GUN. BEWARE ALIEN MONSTERS! SPRAY PRIMED IN FLAT BLACK, THEN AIRBRUSHED WITH A THIN DUST COLOR PAINT. SOME OF THE BLACK WAS REMOVED WITH THINNER TO EXPOSE METAL PARTS. A BRIGHT SILVER WAS THEN DRY BRUSHED ALL OVER TO SIMULATE WEAR. SMALL AMOUNTS OF RUST COLOR CHALK WAS APPLIED WITH A BRUSH. A DIFFERENT STYLE OF RAY GUN, NEW FROM MY WORKSHOP. SINCE THIS DESIGN IS BASED MORE IN REALITY, I WAS THINKING A FLAT OR SATIN BLACK ALL OVER MIGHT LOOK GREAT. MAYBE WITH A FEW SUBTLE COLORS HERE AND THERE. A CARTOON BLASTER. THIS STYLE OF WEAPON MIGHT OF BEEN USED BY BUCK ROGERS OR EVEN FLASH GORDEN. MADE FROM POLYSTYRENE, SIGN FOAM, AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRASS. IT'S IN THE DETAILS! A PLAIN BLASTER IS TRANSFORMED INTO A RED PLANET WORK OF ART. I GOT THE CHANCE TO SUPER DETAIL THIS RAY GUN FOR MY GOOD FRIEND, RICHARD SELLERS. A FEW YEARS AGO HE WROTE AND PRODUCED A SCIENCE FICTION STORY TITLED, "STRAWBERRY AUTOMATIC" FOR A CD HE RELEASED . THE STORY FEATURES RAY GUNS LIKE THIS ONE AND TAKES PLACE ON MARS. A BEAUTIFUL FEMALE ROBOT IS THE MAIN CHARACTER. TO GIVE THIS BLASTER A MARTIAN LOOK, IT WAS COVERED IN RED AUTO PRIMER. IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE HOW THE SPRAYED ON COLOR BRINGS ALL THE DETAILS TOGETHER. ACRYLIC PAINTS WERE USED FOR PAINTING AND WEATHERING. TO DISPLAY THE WEAPON, I MADE A CHARGING STATION COMPLETE WITH DIALS AND PUSH BUTTONS. TO KEEP THE MARS THEME GOING, THE BASE WAS COVERED LIGHTLY WITH RED-BROWN PASTELS TO SIMULATE DUST FROM THE PLANET. STYLE A. ALL RAY GUNS ARE HANDMADE USING, STYRENE, POLY BOARD, ACRYLIC, AND SOME BRASS. THIS BLASTER WAS DONE IN A STYLE POPULAR IN THE EARLY 50'S, PERHAPS USED BY FLASH GORDON, OR MARVIN THE MARTIAN. STYLE B. MADE OF THE SAME MATERIALS. SUITABLE FOR A STAR COMMANDER OR SQUADRON LEADER. ALL WEAPONS ARE SPRAY PRIMED. STYLE C. THE SATURN BLASTER IS A HANDY WEAPON, WHEN YOU'RE ON A BUG HUNT. STYLE D. WITH THE X-DISINTEGRATOR AT YOUR SIDE, YOU'RE GOOD FOR DISTANT OR CLOSE-UP BATTLES. STYLE E. WITH THIS GREAT WORKING GATLING-PULSE WEAPON , THE ALIENS WILL FEAR YOU. THREE FREE SPINNING BARRELS ARE FEATURED.
