So, a lot of you (and by  “a lot,” I mean “none” ) have been asking me to post updates on my ray gun project. Here is a picture of how the gun looks right now:

First of all, let me say that the old adage “They don’t make ‘em like they used to,” could not have been more accurate in this case. This thing was a MONSTER to get apart. I mean it took the better part of 2 hours. Toys today fall once and they are demolished, while this thing stood up to 2 hours of me TRYING to break it, and it wouldn’t budge.

Second, now that its apart, I can’t figure out how the mechanism worked.

The white you see is standard Testors model putty. The gun was not deeply dented. In fact the only divots were minor from the rust and eventual rust removal (Done with a chemical called NAVAL JELLY and a wire brush). If there were any hardcore dents, I would have used BONDO or a similar item.

The grey is just primer. Basic Krylon hardware store brand. Putty / sand / primer / sand / putty / sand….   etc.. Until I was happy with the smoothness. Right now it looks awful, but its smooth and should be ready to paint soon!
