Cybertopian Handgun V2 (steampunk, cyberpunk, dystopian remix)

Step 2Creating the Base.

Creating the Base.
Rite, firstly you need to remove the saw blade from the handle, this was just a case of unscrewing some screws then yanking the handle out.

Once i had got the handle i got to work

Pictures 1 & 2 - These show me laying out the handle and hinge, to draw up some card sections for the base, basically play around, and see what you like, i went with a slightly longer gun.

Pictures 3 & 4 - Show me cutting out the card sections using the template i made, the card used is my usual dense cardboard.

Pictures 5 & 6 show the placement of the card sections (one on either face) and a diagram showing the placement of the hdd platter. These sections were held with pva glue, tape them in place till its dry.
