Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter Axe Gun

Description

Just alil something I've been tinkering with the past two weeks. After seeing the second trailer for Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter, I took notice of the awesome gun axe he uses. Of course I said, "I can make that!" and so I did. The handle is the only thing not scratch made, it is actual Hickory wood and was purchased at Home Depot for a whole $13 dollars.Unfortunately, I had to strip the resin gel coat with some serious sanding before I could stain it. The brass mechanism, spring plate and trigger is all scratch made from good old brass and steel sheeting. The axe head itself is a real marvel, I first hand sculpted it from polystyrene, coated it with a high end automotive polyester body filler and then finally sanded it to shape. Basically, its made from plastic, lol. After all the sanding and shaping was done I used a 4 step texturing process to create the raw metal look and feel. If you were wondering, YES it does work. The axe head is spring loaded when a hidden secondary trigger is pulled like in the movie trailer. I posted this same picture on the official Facebook site for the movie in their contest, so please go and vote "Like" on mine! Link to the Facebook voting site is here [link]
