Steampunk Ray Gun and Costume

This was a cool steampunk costume I did for Halloween last year. The ray gun was documented as part of my artistic portfolio and helped me win a fellowship. Pardon my odd expression in these photos.

Ray Gun Ingredients:
Misc. brass pieces from the headboard of an old bed
Brass doorknobs
Misc. brass hardware and rod
Misc. copper pipes and fittings
Leather scraps
Misc wood
Handle from cane
Old belt

Hope it gives you all some inspiration!
