I am currently in the process of putting together a Space Marine costume (which is currently not in any state to post about :unsure), however currently funds are not forthcoming, so I decided to have a go at building a Bolt Pistol on a Budget (actually it ended up being made of scraps I had lying around). After looking around for some blueprints for said pistol (and not finding any) I came across Steamtech's post about his 40k Bolt Pistol

And taking the excellent pictures of his pistol, I produced a set of plans myself.

So what to make the pistol from....
The main problem I faced was the hand grip (I didn't fancy trying to scratch build one), I looked around my sons toy box, found a Nerf Maverick, perfect, except he wouldn't part with it :unsure, but he did have another gun (he has lots...) that the barrel had broken off (he does keep a lot of crap, luckily :lol)
So now armed with a broken toy shotgun and a box of junk, I set to work.....
