ANZinSpace Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Some time ago I was looking at some cheap plastic champagne flutes and thinking that they would make a good basis for a raygun. So I bought a set and then got a used spray bottle to use as the pisto grip and trigger. The result I think is not too bad. I did have some issues including the fact that the champagne flutes are very brittle plastic and the paints I used were 5 year old plus model paints as was the milliputty. However, I think given what I got out of it I'd like to do it again with some fresher materials. Some of the original materials I used Cut up and ready to put together Glued with tape to temporarily hold in place Added some millitputty to fill in gaps and to give extra support to where the flutes joined. I used some diluted wood glue to provide something for the paint to bond too. A test piece of green plastic didn't bond with the paint so I went with what I remember to do from painting Airfix figures. The raygun in hand.
