Cheap & Easy DIY Fallout Alien Blaster

If you've got a few old bottles and a little cardboard and craft foam, you can assemble yourself a cheap and easy DIY Fallout alien blaster. I used an old deodorant bottle for the base, but you can often find shampoo and other such items that come in similar shapes. The smaller bottle was an empty Mio bottle that fit well inside my bigger bottle. Again, you can find multiple item containers in that shape, so save all your old bottles. I ended up dabbing on my copper paint to give it kind of a rusted look, but as an alternative, you could just paint the entire thing solid copper.

Great work, I never thought of using a bottle like that! I already have such a treasure trove of "trash" for cosplay but now I need to save these too. lol

[@Thewoodlandelf]

Yes, a healthy bottle collection is must, lol. I keep a box in my closet filled with tons of old bottles in interesting shapes, broken wires, cardboard tubes, bottle caps, scraps of screen, etc. So much wonderful "trash" for cosplay projects, haha.

That's incredible, I'll try to do it! Will you make a tutorial for the PipBoy 3000 mark IV?

[@Thewoodlandelf]

Yes, I've had several people requesting the 3000 mark iv, so I will definitely be making that one at some point.
