Nock the original barrel housing off and rebuild it with CPVC or PVC. Go here www.nerfhaven.com and look at some of the modded night-finders to get an idea what I mean. Also paint some of the pices different colors, right now it looks like the gun is built out of one pice of metal. The grip could stand from some contrasting colors too.
 
One side note that I did on my blasters: fill the screw holes. I used Bondo glazing putty filler, but I think it adds a lot to the weapon if there are no visible screws holding it together. (although, to make it more realistic, I added a few metal pins going through to make it look like the weapon oculd still be broken.) It might not be worth it to you since you've already started painting.

A easier way to fill the holes is to use large shank short screws. Just screw them into the hole and then presto filled hole and a way to get it apart if you need to.
 
i like the look of the gun, and with your weathering skills, im shure it will look great, in my custom im thinking of just ading a han solo lookin mouser, and i my self wont be taking it out .
 
i'm a little suprised at your decision to go with a jumpsuit. i've always thought that it would be a better idea (in general) for female mando's to have a seperate top and bottom to facilitate easier bathroom access. guys still have a bit of a dilemma when it comes time to show number two who it works for; but for lower maintenance relief men have it fairly easy in a full jumpsuit.
 
So yeah, I finished my chainsword today. It's mostly made from sheets of plastic I cut from a rubbermaid tub, but the 'engine block' is wood and the handle is PVC pipe. The buttons and other greeblies are just odds and ends I found in the junk drawer, including a picture hanger and a key ring.

The teeth on the blade are covered with silver leaf, so they shine like crazy. The handle is wrapped with canvas, and the lettering is all painted by hand. It says 'train your sons to be strong' on one side 'and your daughters to be stronger' on the other.

I have a couple of progress pics on my camera, but they kinda suck-- I'll add them later on.

Great work so far! The sword is wicked!

As for the pistol...there's nothing wrong with using the same model. We've actually named that version the "Tenandro Arms PM series" pistols.

Ceric-- not Lego, no. They're bits I found in a container full of washers my dad had in his basement. As far as I can tell, they're meant to grip into a surface when you screw them in, since the teeth are aligned to dig downwards into whatever you're working on. I'm not sure what they are beyond that!
