Design and References
I browsed through a lot of references but for the concept design I actually used only the ones that made sense when put together. I created the concept in Photoshop by making a collage of bits and pieces of the references I gathered to create a balanced silhouette and have an idea with what materials I am going to be working in the texturing part of the process. The design details on the model may be changed or differ from the concept, I will definitely change the colors to make the whole look more interesting and vibrant.
The base of the gun is an Electric power steering rack and a Compressor pump suspension. For the barrel of the gun I used metal pipes with a water valve, some old wood for a better grip and a flashlight with sun batteries. On one side of the gun there will be a can from the fridge used as compressed air container with pressure adjustable regulator. Last but not least a little cute charm and the wooden handle for luck and heartwarming memories.
