    Hey guys, sorry for the lack of posts, but this site scam thing really threw me off. I just today realized that I was still following a link to the bad site and couldn't find the thread. Anyways, I will try to answer the questions I can, as soon as I can!

    Oh and I'm battling a kidney stone and a cold at the same time...why have you forsaken me lord???

    And a few photos from the phone:

    Possible mash up with the new Rayven



    Derpin around. This was not edited, amazingly


    That steampunk rifle almost done

    Scope almost done


    Beast is just about done, cut the trigger guard last night

    Fit test. I'll epoxy the stuff together to look like one piece


    Made this as a gift for a friend's 5 year old. Notice there's no design on the exterior shell. Yes, that took forever.



    Fifth Element Multi-pass primered



    Laser tag SMG


    And working on a few shirt designs. The lettering was just a stand-in


    Thanks guys, great stuff being shared, thank you for keeping this thread thriving. You are the best. THE BEST!!

    Oh man! I would SO sport one of those shirts for you! Hell, I know a pretty prominent director here in Korea. I'm thinking of showing him your work. I don't think they utilize things like this yet, but I think they would!

    Would you release the artwork if someone wanted to print their ow? I have iron on transfer paper is why I'm asking. And if you put your web addy on it, I'd be glad to wear it around and give you free advertising..

    I'd be honored, guys. I planned to do some shirts to make available for people at basically cost plus shipping, so if I can just post a large image to d/l, you'd be welcome to make them any way you please. Let me work on that and I'll also post a few a few made by friends that are way better than I could ever do Speaking of that, any of you creative people who want to make up a cool design, feel free to and also make use of any photo posted here. That would be very cool and I promise not to steal the work

    Absolutely. Just don't make any money on it wait, if you do, donate it to RPF for their legal fee fund they're trying to build up. I hope you guys will all help or order a tshirt. I just ordered one myself

    Thank you!

    This is my first attempt at, well, anything. Mostly a repaint, with some bondo and green putty, and a lot of filing and sanding. Not overly happy with the finish, but there's always next time...

    I was thinking a large 8X10 for the back a 3X3 for the sleeve and a 4X4 for the left breast. With your web addy and e-mail, I know my boys would love to wear them at school. For the breast and sleeve just the web addy, for the back web addy and e-mail. If you ever get the artwork together, I have 2 packs of iron on transfer for light colors and my boys have a lot of plain white t-shirts.

    YAY!!! I got a huge lot of guns from a local guy off Craigslist. I can't wait to pick them up.

    Question though, whats the best kind of primer, and paints to use ?

    Also are you guys filling the screw holes with Bondo or something else ?

    That sounds like a good look! I have a cartoonist friend working on a more steampunk looking coat of arms and logo for me, but if you like the more futuristic style guns, I will get after that ASAP. Feel free to give it a go yourself if you want, but I should have something together here soon. Thank you!

    I'm using Bondo. (Or whatever light body car filler that's available here in Australia. SCA is the one I use, from SuperCheapAuto. $10 a can, seems to be identical to Bondo.

    But if a screw hole is pretty deep, then I fill it with plastic scraps first (i.e. tiny shards of scrap styrene) then give it a few drops of thin liquid cement. This effectively plugs most of the hole with plastic, so Bondo can fill the rest, and will dry quicker and (probably) more securely.

    Both are really nice, guys! I like the custom work on both of 'em. I can tell you put a lot of work into them and it shows nicely

    Hm.. I could have sworn that I'd posted here but the thread disagrees and my memory CAN be a bit faulty.
    A friend of mine from work contacted me before Halloween. He was doing a Steampunk costume (well, he and his girlfriend were both doing steampunk).
    He wanted help with a weapon for each of them. He'd bought a break-action nerf style shotgun for her and I volunteered a spare nerf Maverick that I had.
    I don't know much about steampunk so be gentle.. also, I had a SMALL window of time to complete these but I did the best I could.
    And yes, they both still fire.




    And the Maverick





    I actually wrapped the handle in black leather but somehow don't have a picture of that.
    There was something cool I did with it (I know I'm not anywhere NEAR the first to do it) but my only pictures of it are early progress pics. I modded it so the cylinder can swing all the way out.

    Okay, didn't realize the forum was hacked so I posted yesterday under the old url...

    Hi folks,

    finally found the link to this forum again after some computer problems.

    Since my last (and first) post showing you my Mad Max-style Maverick I have finished two more guns I would like to show you:

    First is a steampunk NiteFinder EX-3 I did for a little contest on a german NERF forum.

    To create the steampunk look I aimed for I did some physical modifications by building two small pressure tanks in place of the original dart holder. The NERF logos at the top of the gun were covered with 2 small LEGO satellite dishes, creating the main combustion chamber of the gun. Finally I bend some 6mm polystyrol rod to create the pipes running from the small pressure tanks to the combustion chamber.

    The rest is painting - I tried to achieve a look of some root wood on the handle but it didn't turn out the way I wanted. Anyways, it looks not too bad. The main parts of the gun I painted bronze and then "engraved" some areas by painting thin black lines in various arcs onto the bronze. Thin silver reflection lines completed the engraving.







    The second gun is a sawed-off BuzzBee Double Shot (aka Boomstick ). As with my Maverick I aimed for a weathered look, with rust on the metal parts. To achieve the boomstick look I cut off the barrels and the stock, removing the big, bulging end. I then resculpted the handle using milliput and inserted a small brass tube through which the strings to load the gun now run. I am still thinking about a final way to fit these strings with the overall look, right now I just let them hang there.













    Hope you like my latest dartblaster paintjobs.

    All right, here's some that's jus a out finished, minus the decals, but I had a sunny day so I had to get a few photos taken before they get wrapped up to ship. I also found some squirt guns a few days ago, so I felt the urge to try one out - let me know what you think of it (it's not quite finished, but you'll get the idea, hehe)

    Never mind, thanks a lot anyways.

    If you have any questions about how I painted a certain part of any of my guns - feel free to ask, I am always happy to explain things and help people with their work.
