Description Holy crap, I think I'm part bird.  I've been sitting on this one ever since I finished the non-lighted version a couple weeks ago.  I just couldn't seem to get myself to spend the last hour I needed to wrap this up.  Well, I finally did this morning, and here's the end product...I hope you like it.

I'd say it came out pretty good, and the light system was a lot easier to set up than I thought.  I wonder if green lights might have been better for the Fallout theme, but I only had a blue set with the small batteries (necessary for this one since there's no room for a AA setup).  Unfortunately, I had to render it non-functional by plugging up the barrels and disconnecting the barrel rotation, but it'll make some wastelander a nice prop. 

I also have a red Nuka Cola version of the slingfire that's just waiting for me to decide on a color for its light set up.  I'll probably finish and post that one in a couple days...

The weathering on this is gorgeous. Very good work.

Thanks, I'm never sure if I should go with a basic two layer or three layer weathering.  So I did one of each, and I have to say I like the three layer better this time around.

Very much agreed. With something this bright, in this genre, it needed the extra toning down.

I'll admit, I didn't think it would actually look good with LEDs in the barrels. But seeing it now, you definitely proved me wrong.

It's ok, I'm sure you were really drunk at the time.  jk.  Yeah, I wasn't really sure how well it would turn out.  I still wonder if I should have pushed the tubes back in about a half an inch more like I had originally planned to.  These look like they're sticking out a smidge too far.  But, this was stronger since it lined up perfectly with the back of the barrels.  I might convert the other Hyperfire too since if it sells it'll net me more funds for the next project.  If I do, I'll probably try it with the tubes pushed in further and then I'll have a comparison.

I'm actually considering buying that other Hyperfire. Just not at the moment since I don't have much money.

LOL, I'm not surprised with you buying all my guns!

In that case I'll leave it alone.  And if it sells before you get a chance to snag it, I can make another one.  Luckily Hyperfires are still pretty easy to get a hold of.

You're getting pretty damn good at lighting those things up!  Nice work!

Thanks!  I found a team of out-of-work gnomes who were willing to work cheap!  Sure they drink a bit more than I'd like, but after they've puked a couple times, they get right to work!  Did I mention they're cheap....?

You're whoring out gnomes......What?

I get it, though. Cheap labor is cheap labor

Whoring?!?  No...no.  Ok, it was *one* time.  I was asking the gnomes if they had any special skills, and they mentioned they wanted to raise funds so they could build a break room off of the workshop and that there was this conference of Japanese businesswomen in town.  I thought they were going to do a bake sale or something....how was I supposed to know what was going to happen?

That's what all the sirens and pepper spray were about?

I've never seen so many handcuffs and chains, out side of a S&M convention....But that's just hear-say. I've never actually *cough* participated in one....

Anyway......Gnomes, you say?

You heard about it, huh!  Dang, I was hoping they wouldn't make it on the news.  You'd think a short person would know what "low profile" means...

Or keeping it on the "Down Low"......

Ok, I'm going to do a pun block now before this gets out of hand and goes on for days...

Probably a good idea.

I was told to never look down on people, so......

Ok....I'm really done now, promise
