Chaos Pistol
I'm still cracking away on installment #23 of the Satyr!Crack, and hope to have it up sometime tonight/early this morning(depending on time zones and whether you've been to bed yet or not - I haven't). But I thought I'd share my latest doll-related project in the interim.
This is Davlin's Chaos Pistol, courtesy of some leather, some old watch bits, a few tiny transistors (stolen from a computer motherboard), a fuse or two, some dollhouse-scaled test tubes, some ink, some metallic enamel paint, some copper wire, lots of Super Glue, and a pair of micro-switches that I liberated from one of the junk bins in the hospital Maintenance department. The base of the gun body itself is a flintlock pistol keychain. I've been working on it for several days (mostly in downtimes at work), and it's nearly done - I just have to add the "battery leads" that go up to Davlin's side to actually pull the chaos energy out of him, and it'll be ready to roll.
Also, the belt was made using a strip of leather and the buckle from a watchband, and the little bottle on his left side used to hold Nitro (found empty on the counter in the ER, snagged before it could end up in the trash can).
The gun in its holster, on Davlin's belt:
Close-up of the control box (the two switches are functional, though they don't actually do anything):
The gun in a Soom jointed hand, WS (right side view of the gun):
A view of the left side of the gun (please excuse my fingers):
I had so much fun making this, I'm tempted to see if there's any interest in Steampunk weapon commissions on DoA.

I was also disappointed with the Grodbort's line. Some of the details were nice, but overall they really seemed more like Flash Gordon-styled retro rayguns than steampunk guns. A little bit too futuristic, a little lacking in the Victorian department.
