Howdy all! I've figured I'd show off my plasmacaster, made with a kids toy from walmart. Can't hardly tell its a kids toy anymore, except that its really light weight

Anyway I went from this:

(sorry, I forgot to take a before picture I was so eager to get started!)


To this:

You can see the places where I glue'd foamies to the rough parts, but with a little refining I can get them worked into looking like they are natural!
thanks for looking!

Glad to see someone else doing a wal-mart plasma cannon. I made mine from a toy gun as well. By the looks of the cannon you'd have a very steam punk style pred if you were to do the suit to match. Nice job.
 
Bravo!

I would've never guess it came from a toy, the paint job is great. Care to share some intel with a newbie? I'm F+ in weathering and buffing.
