I never had a chance to experiment with boost converters, so I went on and made a very simple open loop boost converter which can convert 12V to 400V (or more).
I used Arduino to generate PWM (you can use any other source of PWM).
So here you go, the pictures and the circuit.

If you want the circuit with 555 timer, here you go

I am planning to use this for my upcoming coil gun project, where I would need this to charge a capacitor bank.
You can also check a small blog post where I have explained it's working.
