Weapon From Found Objects

So being set a project to make stuff was instantly an awesome moment, I love physically making things and working out how things fit together. However during the first week of the project I found it incredibly difficult to find inspiration or access the correct type of items, its also incredibly difficult to work out where you're going with such an open ended project. For the first time I feel that I have created something designed, developed and not too complex; I find I don't normally manage that last bit very well. Below you can see my design, creation and 3D model.
