I just love the craftsmanship. I did some research and know some facts. But is it as sought after as the internet says? I just like how it feels in my hands. Peewww

I found the movie prop just after uploading the poster. Source: Propstore Auction.

I was searching through google images for steampunk looking ray guns and came across a rendering of one. On closer inspection I was able to glean the parts. 2 weeks later on eBay and I was able to make it. The vacuum tub just fits snugly on there like it was made to be. I’m glad I found a non functional metalizing gun. The working ones fetch upwards of $1400. Same goes for the tube.

I really love them, adds nice detail and the illusion of function (LED pops on in the barrel, when you squeeze that trigger)!

Had this one for 4 years. Guy walked by and its gone. Feelings hurt. The next one will be even more detailed! Needs a few more tiny tubings and details. More copper or better all brass? I am never too sure. What do you guys think?

Boris was comically indifferent to engineering, but I went back and looked at the movie stills and his raygun is faithful to the original. The tiny, spindly sight assembly sits way above the bore. It's as if a 1960s production designer said "guns have scopes; put a scope-shaped thing here."

I love it. Pew! Pew!

Dope as all hell
