Tips on building a Lost in Space Laser Pistol:

If anyone would like to make their own, you will need the following parts. 1 ) An empty deodorant container. I used the type that is rounded on the ends. I think the Right Guard can works best on this project. 2 ) 1/4" Styrene "I" beams made by Plastruct Inc. You will need about 2 packs. There are five to a pack. 3 ) One pack of assorted sizes of rubber bands, these will be used to help form the ribs on top of deodorant container. 4 ) 15 minute epoxy cement. 5 ) One small empty adhesive tape spool. 6 ) One inch PVC tubing. You can buy this at Lowe's. It comes in various lengths. 7 ) One half inch acrylic tubing. They can be purchased at any hobby store or aquarium supply store. 8 ) One package of .020" / 0.5mm styrene sheets. You can find them at any hobby shop that specializes in radio controlled models. 9 ) Assorted parts from old model kits to be used as details.

I bought the blueprints from a vendor at a Comic book convention and traced out the shape of the pistol onto velum paper and then scanned it. I then printed it onto heavy cardstock so I could cut out the shape from the .020" / 0.5mm sheets. After I had all the sheets cut out I began epoxying them together. After the epoxy dried, I used coarse, medium and fine grains of sandpaper to get the surfaces smooth. I am enclosing my own pattern if you want to use it.
