So far I've made quite a few Warhammer 40K costumes. The Space Marines were pretty big and the Imperial Guard were more comfortable, but none of them have been especially sexy. I've been overwhelmed by the urge to remedy that lately.
While I'd really like to put together some of the Adepta Sororitas outfits, it'll be a while before I've got the time and resources to do it right. In the meantime I've decided that I should make a female Commissar to keep the Guardsmen in line.
Here's the finished costume:

I've been working on a custom Commissar build to add a bit more sexy to my collection of Warhammer 40,000 costumes. While a lesser builder might have been satisfied to go with a drum major's tunic or some other militaristic garb for the torso, I decided that mine needed to have a polished steel breastplate.
Here's a shot of the finished result:

I still haven't been able to get it out of my system, so I find myself building more prop replicas from Warhammer 40,000. While I've made a chainsword and the various versions of boltguns, I wanted something a bit more challenging. For my next build, I decided to make a plasma pistol.
In the game mythology, plasma pistols fire energy 'bolts' of bright glowing plasma. Each one is like a miniature little sun launched out of the barrel. Among the forces of the Imperium, these weapons are highly coveted and usually end up in the hands of very high ranking officers and heroes of the Imperial Guard.
That sounds cool and all, but I was really just excited to make a pistol filled with blinky lights that chase around inside of it when I pull the trigger and say "pew pew pew."
To see how I went about making it, read on...
