Debuted at Dragon*Con 2009, below are pics of the Ice Gun from the Doctor Who episode "Girl In The Fireplace"
that my buddy, Spaz, and I made for my girlfriend, Randirien.
( JediAgent as the 10th Doctor | Randirien as Rose Tyler )
This prop was created from scratch, with well over 100 hours of work, and made from the following materials:
Total Length: 49.5"
Total Weight: 8.5lbs
While I tried to use all the accurate items as on the original prop, a decent portion of them could not be shipped to the states as they were UK exclusive items. Therefore, improvisation was necessary.
The paint used was Rustoleum Professional Aluminum 7515 whereas the final ice-weathering technique was done with paint, Modge Podge, wood shavings, and chalk shavings.
This has probably been the most ambitious (and most impressive) prop to date...but definitely worth it because Randirien was ecstatic to have a BFG!
