I started with an old broken watergun that had two handgrips, applied papier mache, sanded as many of the lumps out as I could, added a trimmed rifle recoil pad and wooden dowels for a shoulder rest, painted the whole thing black, and then added accents cut from paper towel rolls and painted with "hammered silver" metallic paint. I'm somewhat disappointed with the results, but since the only phase rifle model kit I could find on ebay was from TNG and looked NOTHING like the ones used on ENT, the only real ST prop rifle (not ENT) is going for $3,500.00, and even a phase pistol is $79.00, I guess this is better than nothing.

Heh. You're such a gentleman, BnB. Thanks, T'Poptarts.

Now all that's left is the public embarrassment. Joy. :lol:

Tell me again why I'm doing this. Please. :?

Diplomatic?
Well, you're more diplomatic than him, Dis!
Anyway... ahem... I think... from the distance...
Good job! Yes!
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Because you enjoy it so much that a little embarrassment isn't enough to contain your enthusiasm!

By the way, do they all know that The Boss Man has a bit-part in your skit as well? :D

It involves my exquisitely blonde hair and a hawaiian shirt :wink:

You are all doing this because you love the limelight. :) And because you are hopelessly brain damaged from hanging out here with the rest of us.

I second the motion for video please? Pretty please? Or at least a series of still shots? Preferably both.

Funky shirt huh?
