Yeah, many of the earlier one-off alien blasters and a few of the later "group" blasters were converted waterguns but for the most part they scratchbuilt stuff on the show.Birdie said:

My Props for Farscape
1) Pulse Pistol
2) Comms Unit from RPFer Pilot
3) Patches IASA and Farscape 1
Well all I have now is just some comm badges from Pilot which I still need to paint up and put together (anyone have any tips on what to do for those?).
Had a pulse pistol but had to let it go. Now that I have the complete series I really want one again since I've always liked the design. Will probably get a Wilco model one again since there going for about $28 shipped on ebay for the kit.
It has been so long since I painted mine I really cannot remember what colors I used. I know they were all Testors MM Acrylics. Bronze or maybe it was brass is one and I think Scarlett Candy or some such was the other.DemonFire said:
I did the back in SC ?? Then bronze/brass on the front. I dusted the bronze/brass with some of the back color. Used bronze/brass dry brush over the SC ?? color for the center recessed part of the comms. Two rivets and done
Have a standard DRD and 1812 (the kit from way back). Will see if I can lay my hands on some pics.

Ugh, yeah... I'm spoiled by Star Wars I think.Birdie said:
I have a nice comms badge that I really should take pictures of and put up. I love it, but it's basically solid pewter that's been either painted or plated, the mesh in the center isn't an actual screen so it detracts slightly. Still, it's got nice weight to it and is looks metal.
Does anyone have a brake down of what water guns, where used? (episode, brand, model, etc.)
Of course.jason1976 said:
I've been slowly trying to collect them but they're all old and some are rare so they only show up infrequently on ebay.
My info list is on my home computer but I have pics in my photobucket and can remember most of it off the top of my head.

Super Soaker XP40:
Used by the Zenetian Pirates and in "A Prefect Murder"
Super Soaker XP70:
Base gun for the chronite injector that armed the bombs in the transport pod that blew up Scorpi's gammak base in the last episode of Season 1.

Some of those are actually really cool looking guns. I'm going to have to start looking for some of them, at local yardsales, and thrift stores. (and of course ebay too.)
I really like thase two

Super Soaker Force 3 Storm 1500:
I forget the name of the aliens on the water planet in PK wars, but their guns looked kind of like super soakers too. (but I could be wrong.)
PK wars is the one thing I haven't gotten around to capping yet so they very well could be.
I really want to find a speedloader 1500 as well, I've always liked Rorg's gun. I found one site that supposedly can get new ones in box still but they charge around $80. Speedloaders of any kind are pretty rare and impossible to search for directly on ebay as all you'll get is revolver accessories. I did manage to get a 1000 over the summer for $5, the only other one I have so far is a knock-off XP70. The problem is most of the auctions are for collectors new in box versions, most people don't sell busted ones. Your best bet is to do a daily broad search for "water gun", sort by date posted and hope to spot one in a general lot.
Ok, here's the screencaps for the various watergun based props.

That's funny, some of the ones I liked the best in there original form, I like less as they where done up as props, and some of the ones I like the least as water guns, I really like done up as props.
I think the one I'll be looking for now is the Super Soaker SC400. It looks kind of lame as a water gun, but I like the way it looks all done up for the show, and I love "Liars, guns, and money" And, other then a nifty new paint job, it doesn't look like they did much else to it.
Yeah, I've been keeping an eye out for those. I figured it'd be easy but they're surprisingly hard to come by. I'm pretty sure they just replaced the resevoir with one of those aluminum camp bottles they used everywhere else on the show. A paintjob and an aluminum stock and you're done.jason1976 said:
WOW, they really make those super soakers look good, I had no idea they used so many!
No, the bottle on top may have been a modified supersoaker bottle but the rest of the gun is a standard peacekeeper pulserifle.Kylash327 said:
Strangely that's the only time you ever see that gun. Once they move into season 2 most of the standard pattern rifles have the flashlight attachment.
Wonder why they bothere with the bottle on the Pulse Rifle? a Flame Thrower attachement?
I have a few propos myself, but need to take pics
I have a Pulse Pistol, a season 3/4 Holster (all leather with Nylon straping) A Laser knife, a PeaceKeeper Ident Chip, a Cmms I go somewhere (forget where) and a cheap boot knife version of D'Argo's knife. I'd love to get a few more, including a Standard Pulse Rifle, or the Pulse Rifle from PeaceKeeper Wars. Chiana's Pulse Pistol would be nice to have as well.
The only other items I can think of now that I'd look at getting are the Charid pulse weapons. The pistol and rifle
Just started watching farscape for the first time yesterday and I love it!
I have a Pulse Pistol on its way, does anybody know a source for a metal comm badge?
Glad to hear we have another convert! there's not much out there in the way of badges, metal or not. I scratch built mine from brass, steel and leather with a jewelers saw: http://www.angelfire.com/pa2/jdoud/coms.htmlStansfield said:
I know that the syringes in the show (used in a variety of episodes) was actually a micropippette recolored. I can't remember the brand, but I do know someone pointed that out.
Also, as I pointed out before in another post, the Peacekeeper video projector from "The Way We Weren't" in Season 2 was actually a Logitech Wingman Force.
jackdoud said:
Thanks for the link. I think I might take a crack at building this.
I can't believe I haven't watched this show before yesterday. The props/sets are so freaking cool and I'm only halfway through the 1st season!
I found that ebay seller you minsioned for these, over at the Farscape forums. I think I might pick up one, next month.Kylash327 said:
Does anyone know what else is needed to convert the mask, into D'Argo's version? Do you think the lenses on the goggles are panted like John's from the same episode, or do you think the tented them? (maybe with some of that stuff you can tent your own car windows with.)
Oh, and Does anyone recall who it was that had the Pulse pistol kits, with the hollowed out compartment for electronics, for sale on ebay last year? I know there where some years ago for like $80. and I know there were some last year, finished for around $100. but I'm looking for the person that had the white resin kits, for around $35. or so. (I really wanted to get one, but I kept putting it off, and now I don't see them listed these days, so I thought if I know who sold them, I might be able to talk them into poring up another one. It would be a good time, since a lot of folks seem to be getting back into Farscape.)
Guh I'm in the same boat, I kept putting it off due to $$ and now that I'm actually determined to get one, I can't find any! I'm determined to get my hands on one though.jason1976 said:
(What 'scape forums are these? Last time I was on any scape forum it was farscapeworld and karlsweb which seemed to have died down significantly, so I'm outta the loop.)
The good old "Farscape props forums."RebellionBarbie said:

It slowed way down for a long time, but things have been picking up a little lately.
