So been wanting to do a retro blaster for a while, something simple like this (obviously not my pic)...
Then recently came across this little beauty at the second-hand goods store for a few dollars...
We'll loose the rotating barrel, but the main body of the gun is almost perfect
Need a new front to the blaster so pulled this old lamp apart
Found some other used toys for lights and sounds
Also this loom has a motor with an off-ballance weight to it to make the gun vibrate when firing.
For the nose, I pulled a yo-yo apart and added some tubing and a couple washers...
This is a fun build. More to come.
