Van Helsing/Cowboy Android Revolver Build (image heavy)

This was a replica of the gun used in the Cowboy Android episode of The Aquabats! Super Show!
I was working on a costume of the character, and really liked his gun, so a standard revolver just wouldn't do, so I decided to replicate it.

My research didn't come up on anything for the gun (I didn't know what to look for) and I eventually contacted the Director of the show. He wasn't sure on the origins of the gun, as it was something one of their prop guys just brought in, but he had the stunt version and was able to send me a nice picture of it, as well as a picture of the hero prop.


It wasn't until the day after I finished the gun that I discovered that the gun is one of the guns from Van Helsing. Knowing that is pointless though, as there are really no hero shots of the gun in the movie.

This build was entirely scrap built with materials I had lying around.
I was going for at least like at least 65% accuracy, as I plan to do a more accurate replica once I get some extra funds, so there were quite a bit of shortcuts taken.

I was too lazy and in a hurry to do blueprints for this. I also wasn't in such a need for 100% accuracy.
Basically everything is cut and sanded to shape out of insulation foam.

The barrel is a large knitting needle I had lying around.


The trigger is a piece of styrene cut to shape and I used hot glue to add dimension.

I then cut the side piece out of styrene.


I then coated the gun in glue. I can't remember what kind.. I'm assuming basic white glue.

I then painted on Plasti Dip, which I've now learned shrinks the foam.

Base coat of silver.

Added color and cross. the cross is made of fun foam.

Weathered.



I hope to eventually redo it with better accuracy and with moving trigger, hammer, and reel.
