Terra Nova: Pistol Build Tutorial

Just finished up filling and tidying things up on mine until the end-caps arrive.
Then on to painting and detailing......................

I'll post some pics when I've got decent progress to report :)

When it's done I'm gonna try the rifle :D
 
Thanks so much for this. I knew those I could use a Nerf gun for those pistols, just couldn't put my finger on which one. Fantastic tutorial. Looking forward to building one now. :-D
 
Excellent work, Jonny B.

I'm a painting n00b, so could you tell me what I should be painting the gun with?

(e.g. should I use an enamel black spray, or acrylic?)

Thanks.
 
Bought my Nightfinder tonight. My local grocery store has all their Nerf guns on clearance, so I may have to go buy some more. But looking forward to starting this build!

Was able to get this screen cap, that piece on the bottom looks kinda like a piece from the Longstrike....

Maybe?
 
Hey Gang,

I've been meaning to post this bit, but I've been super busy. While I was breaking down a Recon to convert into the rifle, I stumbled upon the proper greeblie for the front of the non-taylor version:

It is located in the bottom of the handgrip inside the recon.

I used a little artistic license here and there, but I used most of your tutorial as the basis for my build. Thanks for all of the great tips - I don't think I could have figured it all out on my own! :lol

What did you use for the two narrow, vertical pieces that are below the shroud bolts.

I was at Target today and wandered by the Nerf section and almost bought the base pistol. Might have to go back soon and get one.
 
I got to say that this is the first time I have heard of a nerd gun used in a TV series.Does this mean there might be other in the Nerf brethren in other shows ?
