Dark Frontier Builds

Howdy! The 
"Build Page" is dedicated to the creation of items, objects, costumes 
and things for the Dark Frontier world. Here we can share our 
discoveries and processes for making things so others too can benefit 
from our learning experiments.
Maverick Holster (Dave M)
I know that 
several players have and/or are planning to modify the Nerf Maverick for
 the Game. I think it's a great idea. In fact, I've been modifying one 
of mine as well. But one of the issues that comes to mind is how to 
carry it in game without just tucking it in a belt or stuffing it in a 
jacket pocket.
Here was my quick holster solution. Total build time was less than 30 minutes. (It will be longer without a sewing machine.)
I had a 
premade black canvas belt pouch that I purchased at an Army Surplus 
store (specifically Supply Sergeant in Burbank). Here is the pouch and 
pouch open.
The back of the pouch.
Using a seam 
ripper, I removed the belt loops and moved them to the top edge of the 
flap, keeping them in approximately the same spacing from one another.
I then removed
 the front pocket from the pouch. I cut a small strip of the pouch 
including the male side of the snap. I took a piece of nylon strap and 
sewed to two together to lengthen the new strap. (Another piece of the 
front pocket could be used as well.)
The strap/snap allows the wearer to move a bit more energetically and keeps the Maverick secure.

Edison /Parris Magnum - Grip Repaint (Dave M)
I was looking 
for a little variation in my Edison guns for the western game. I have 
fond memories of the cap guns of my youth so I decided I wanted ivory 
grips.
I removed the 
grips from one of my Edison Revolvers. It is a single screw that keeps 
it in place. Once removed, I spent some time and sanded the texture from
 the grips. I used a variable speed Dremel with a course sanding drum to
 remove the bulk of the heavy texture on the grip. Then I finished the 
clean up with sand paper and a file, to smooth it out.
I used a gloss white spray paint for plastic, then later gave it a dusting from an "almond" color paint.
