I wanted to share the steps I took to build up ny pegasus model Galaxy quest nebulizer. I didn't get enough pictures as I should of, but I hope the ones I do share will help, and for the rest you will have to use your imagination. 
First I filled the handle together with glue, and bolts for weight. I also glued in a button behind the trigger for future electronic upgrade, and glued the 2 halves of the handle together.
Next I glued the 2 body halves together, and using a single edge razor blade I cut the body apart below the rail. I also glued in bolts for weight to these parts as well. I also glued a small strip of styrene to the lower half of the body so that the 2 halves could fit together without sliding apart. I also glued in a piece so that I could install screws to hold the 2 halves together. I then used puddy to hide the seam.
I then primed the parts, and sanded them smooth.
After the model was ready for paint. I sprayed a smooth coat of gloss black over the entire model, and let the paint dry for a few hours. I then sprayed the entire model with ALclad for the aluminum look. I allowed the paint to dry for a couple of days, and masked off the parts and sprayed a dull aluminum silver paint to the raised parts.
For a little extra I replaced the grips with a set of rubber grips I made for it, and glued all of the clear plastic parts inside the model. I also replaces the emitter with a aluminum part I made, and I also cut a small piece of clear plastic to replace the little fin on the top.
Here are a few pictures of the finished kit
