Slug

I made this quite a while ago. While I was still in my apartment near Lake Merritt, and before I went to jewelry school.

Its a pun... Get it? I'm going to say, for those without the terminology at the tip of their tongues. Its a slug... made of slugs! Groan! It really looks a lot like a slug, if you ask me. The picture doesn't have any scale to go by, but its the same size as a real slug too.

Let me see if I can remember. The head is 9mm Parabellum, the two main body sections are .40 S&W, the next section is 9mm Makarov and the tail is 7.62 x 39. The antennae aren't made from slugs, just copper wire.

I mentioned above that I made this a while ago, I made the body a while ago, I added the antennae later, after I learned more about soldering. I couldn't figure out how to attach the antennae using the skills I had available to me at the time. After jewelry school, it was easy. I learned something!

Anyway, I think I'll show some of the things I've made over the years on this blog. Why? Because I can.
