Raygun Work in Progress

I was able to work on one of my rayguns this weekend. I did some soldering on the stub of the barrel, some drilling with a hand auger on some lenticular beads, and a lot of sanding.

I still need to paint the body of the gun. I was thinking of anodizing, and dying the body maroon or burgundy, but will probably stick with auto paints for this one. I want to replace the trigger, so it looks like the one from the Cinco de Mayo raygun, and I need to add a little accent trim to the gun as well.

I may start the next one before I fully complete this one, providing my parts shipment shows up in the next couple of days.

Here is a picture of what the piece currently looks like:
