Steampunk Gun Conversion

As any Evil Scientist will tell you, Inators do not pay for themselves. The parts alone for the Chicken Waterinator nearly wiped out the quarterly budget, and we do not even want to discuss what the Laundry-Done-Inator cost in sensor calibration alone. Clearly, a supplemental revenue stream was required.

The solution? A booth at the Salt Lake Comic Con in September. Yes, we are funding the quest for Tri-State domination through the power of fandom. Is it Evil? Arguably not. Is it efficient? Absolutely.

(And no, it is not just a cover story for getting to meet Adam West in person. That is merely a bonus. A man can study the classics.)

Enter: The Steampunk Gun Conversioninator

The plan: take ordinary toy and Nerf guns — the kind that look aggressively plastic and cheerful — and transform them into brooding, Victorian-era instruments of stylish menace. Copper highlights. Bronze accents. Silver grips. The kind of weapon a well-dressed Evil Scientist might brandish at a gala before monologuing about his plans.

Here is a look at the process in motion:

And the step-by-step photographic evidence, because documentation is important and also I am very proud of this:

More conversions are in progress — we are building up a full arsenal of tastefully evil props for the booth. If you are attending Salt Lake Comic Con in September, come find us. We will be the ones with the steampunk weapons and the elaborate business plan for regional domination.

It is going to be great.
