Nerf gun paint job...

So here's a relative n00b question... why does Nerf get highlighted?

Anyways, here are some progress pics of my customization...

I'm sad that I've sold mine - I just have nowhere to work in this acursed condominium.

Yeah, but my wife doesn't really appreciate the dremel dust and paint fumes floating about.

It's all about keeping the peace, man. ;)
 
A huge improvement, I must say. Going from this:

To this:

And for being my first custom (paint job), I'd say it didn't turn out half-bad. And the best part? It still works :D
 
Now that the contest is over, here's mine...

I thought it came out rather well, and I'm glad others did too B)

You probably have some Ad program running on your PC that links common words to Ad sites...

Try installing Ad-aware made by Lavasoft, they have a free version of the program that will find all (or most) of those little gems hiding in your PC. The site is Lavasoft homepage

A few more programs that find and kill Ad/Spyware:
Spyware Doctor
STOPzilla
Xoftspy
Spybot Search & Destroy

Also look for Dsostop for those that use the DSO exploit. Download and learn about DSOstop
The first time you run an Ad blocking program you will be very surprised what's been hiding in there, fun stuff...

Sorry for the divergence, all the guns look awesomeÂ…
Anyone else have any new or old custom jobs to share, mineÂ’s still not complete from the first BBC contest. :lol
 
I've got both Adaware and Spybot, so I highly doubt it's something on my computer. I just thought it was something to do with the boards...

Hmmm, now it's not doing it... weird...
 
Maybe you're linking to the thread via a search? If you did a search for "NERF" here it would show the thread and in it, each instance of NERF would be highlighted.

Stab in the dark, but it's an idea...
 
swung by toys r us today and got the 3 pack and the maverick, and a free mini light blaster thing (some kinda sale).

i had a hard time talking myself into this as i mainly wanted the pistol and not the rest..... but after getting home tonight (and post smallville buzz), i opened the boxes up and started goofing around with em.

a thought occured to me then, and it helps me be happy with picking these up.

i didnt spend 50~ bucks on toys. i spent 50 bucks on prop kits that just need a paint job :)

i admit, the pistol is a little undersized for mine gorilla like fingers, but the look is pretty nice. overall i gotta admit its worth the cash and its really not that often i can actually say that and mean it. specially if its over 10 bucks.

all i gotta do now is go buy a few dozen cans o spray paint and some bondo filler, and some new screwdrivers and ill have something to do this weekend :lol

matt, i dunno whether to hug ya or shoot ya for introducing me to a new aspect of the hobby i never thought of before. i guess it depends on how the paintjob turns out :)

thanks man
chris
 
Tom, can you PLEASE post more pics of your Blaster than the two from the BBC Contest? I realy loved this one :love


I went to two different Toys´R´Us Stores today and tried to find one of these Mavericks. Nothing. Now I´m afraid they are not being sold in Germany :cry

So please have mercy and don´t write things like

:(
 
Hey here's one that might make for a good custom with a nice repaint... from the new GIJoe "Sigma 6" line.

Only $15 at target. It makes nine sound effects (depending on the configuration of components as they are attached).

The only downside IMHO is the smallish trigger hole. :unsure

Holey moley, awesome work guys.. Amazing what you can do with simple toys, they all look fantastic. Top marks to Matsuo, fantastic work there dude, those custom paint jobs are top notch. Just wish I could get into airbrushing myself.. I should really look into it, as the look of these pieces is just so cool. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.
 
wonder with a little tweaking that gijoe gun could be made into a close version of korben dallas pistol from 5th element. might be worth a shot.
