Love it. Reminds me of a Futurama gun mostly!

Like the re-use of the druggy paraphernalia canisters ! I think they call them nangs in oz?

Upcycled nangs...awesome!

Nangs?? I don’t get it.

Ah, now I get it. Thanks for the explanation. Never heard that expression in New Zealand. But then I’m no druggy expert. Probably explains why I found them scattered along the side of a country road. [emoji23]

I had to look it up myslef...
"nang" means.... something that's cool. So you created something really cool out of up-cycling/ recycling items.

I learn something new here everyday. :lol

I thought they were CO2 canisters for a BB gun.

Wow what a great build. I liked the top fin especially. Gave it the over the top Retro look.

This is so awesome.

Thanks guys. I’d still like to repaint it one day with more retro colors.

 

[DrBill]

Awesome build!

Not familiar with Housewares Toys.
Lakeshore has mix and match magnetic space toys.

Now some of the big bug spray containers with the hose have these red, solid plastic ribbed hollow bits that lend themselves to be emitters, like the ribbed pen inserts. Pilot pens have these. Pull them out with pliers and put fiber optics where the central “wick” went.

Meant to update this thread as I repainted it over a year ago. Lol.

Much happier with it now.
