GINTAMA OKITA SOUGO’S GUN TUTORIAL

We plan to share you tutorials on how to make Gintama Okita Sougo’s gun here. For sure, a convenient and similar prop will help

you have a better time on a cosplay show. Now, let’s begin.

TIP 1. DRAW A BLUEPRINT.

See from different angles; you will get different designs on Gintama Okita Sougo’s gun. Thus, select one first of all and don’t change it over and again.

TIP 2. CHOOSE MATERIALS.

Required material: black paperboards, black grey boards, PVC pipes and corrugated paper.

TIP 3. FIND OTHER TOOLS.

Required tools: knife, scissor, ruler, pen (black is better), hot glue gun, hot glue stick and latex.

TIP 4. MAKE THE GUN.

1st. Prepare components

according to the blueprint. Referring to making the trigger and pikestaff on the gun, you can buy a cap gun and fix it around the barrel by black paperboards on the basis of the size on your design drawing. In this case, you save a lot of time and make a gun seeming three-dimensional.

2nd. Make the gun body. Two ways can be also adopted here. First, use PVC

pipes. Take the right measurement of length. Cut and color them, which will be rather time-saving. Second, use black paperboard with a layer of corrugated paper inside to enhance the strength.

In this case, glue black paperboard with corrugated paper first. Planish them and wait until they dry. Paint the insider corrugated paper to be black. Add more water in pigment, which will make corrugated paper more wet and easy to be molded. Then, roll it up and seal it by hot melt glue. The gun body is finished when glue dries.

3rd. This step is much

easier. Just stick previously prepared components upon the gun body one by one. For a better tiered look, black grey paperboards are used to make parts on the outside surface. Thus, hot melt glue is chosen. Just pay attention to this: well control the time while using hot melt glue.

4th. Rivets can be

made by thumbtacks. Then paint them by black oil pen, seeming really vivid.

TIP 5. MODIFY SOME DETAILS.

Final modifications ask you to be patient. Take the exposed nonblack lining as an example. It should be painted to look the same with black pigment around. Then, deal with extra hot melt glue on the surface. Adjust the directions of some small components.

To make a cosplay weapon is exactly an enjoyment. More tutorials will be continually shared here.
