Mad Max Inspired Double Barrel Shot Gun

[sesl]

So I watched Mad Max 1 & 2 for the first time in November and just loved how how bad ass that double barrel shot gun looked. I wasn't really going for screen accuracy but more of a Mad Max inspired look and feel. I took lots of pictures during the whole process but this is from December so I don't remember as many details.

Started with this "Sawed off Shot gun toy" from Amazon if I remember correctly it was about $10 shipped.

Taken Apart

Cut away a the stock

Sanded nice and smooth

Decided to sand off the "grip" and design

Here's pretty much what I used

Bam cut off the already "sawed off" shot gun. Fortunately there was a good starting point on the plastic.

Back to the handle I decided to make a little I beam out of the parts that came out when I took it apart. This way i had something to keep in place the copious amounts of squadron putty i used to fill in the gap. Made it fit perfectly between a couple posts that interlock with the opposite side and glued in place.

Mmm nice and green... In hind sight, I should have prob used the white putty. Took quite a bit of time to dry but once it was dry it was good to go.

While that putty was drying I began "aging" the forearm... Yes Yellow.

Then brushed burnt umber oil paint on (made wire hanger holder since oil paint takes forever to dry! :wacko)

Over to rattle canning the barrel now (after gluing & getting rid of seams) while everything else takes its sweet time drying

Pieced the gun back together, sanded putty smooth, masked, and painted awaiting drying.

After waiting days for the oil paint to dry I got impatient and decided to sand it down and start over. Well I started sanding it down through the oil and yellow paint when I realized it's making it look great. I guess my impatience paid off. Ended up painting the trigger guard with silver acrylic paint and brushing on some brass colored acrylic paint. Also painted the sight

Better look at the trigger guard

Beauty! I've been thinking about trying something like this with my Buzzbee (nerf knockoff).

I'm not sure if I understand the pictures are of the prop I made. The inspiration was the Mad Max sawed off shot gun.

Damn that is beautiful. I can tell it's the same gun too. This was my first time trying to make plastic "look" and "feel" like wood grain but that was definitely what I was aiming for originally.

I carved out a stock and forearm in attempt to make a more life like version but stumped on how to add a trigger.

I think he misunderstood you, and thought this was an exact replica, and not an inspired replica.

First off, never underestimate the non moving, non functioning dummy trigger. A simple cut out trigger that's glued in. Also, you can get cheap toy guns, and cut out the trigger assemblies pretty easy, cut the stock in half, hollow the section above the trigger guard out, and install the cheap toy assembly in there.

Hmmm.... Yeah I might just do that and use maybe some PVC for the barrels as long as the end result looks good. Thanks for the advice buddy
