Cyber/Steampunk Futuresque Sci-Fi Hand Gun

Step 6Add the glow

Add the glow
Ok so ive not soldered for like ages, so this bit took me a short while

Pictures 1&2
- i put together a simple small circuit using a switch, and led and two 3v button batteries
- I made two metal contacts from an old floppy disk

Pictures 3&4
- Cut out a channel from the gun, this runs from the front of the gun to the bottom of the handle
- Also cut out a slit in the back of the handle to store the batteries
Its up to you where u put the switch and batteries, i just put them where they would sit nicely without compromising the strength.

As you can probably tell, i originally planned to have the ammo in the handle, so my switch is at the bottom, cos i already had a hole there.
