Here are some images of a Mal Renoylds Pistol I made a few years ago.
I'd say about 80% of it is made out of cardboard. The barrel is a piece of PVC tubing, and the finger guard is a electric tube wall clamp-melter and cut to fit the way I wanted it. I drew the shape from images of the web, and cut out all the card board and layered them. Then I sanded the cardboard to round the edges, followed by some wood filler to smooth out the texture of the surface of the gun. Then some spray paint, and other enamel paints to roughen up the look. Last step was some protective enamel coating and then PEW PEW PEW! Enjoy the pics!
