Hi there, this is my first post for one of my own props. It was inspired by District 9. It's a Nerf Strike Force gun. Originally all yellow, it was sanded right down, painted white. I stuck some PVC tubing inside, mounted some knobs on the sides, painted her orange and there it is.

I still want to add extra pieces on the end to make it longer. I also want to add an extension to the front of barrel just to add something else.

The orange stripe could have been done better. That's my biggest complaint about it so far. I used basic masking tape and the paint bled through.

Just gotta say this is one of my favorite Nerf mods I've seen around. I might be biased because I'm a huge D9 fan, though. It really captures the vibe of their weapons well! Does it still fire darts? I hope it does.
 
Wow, thanks for your kind words. I'm pleased with it too! I'm a little upset with the 'orange stripe' only because I used cheap masking tape and the orange bled through.

And yes, it still fires darts.

There are more pictures on my photobucket site that show some of the early progress.
 
Pretty sweet indeed! I bet there's a lot of Nerf's that are just begging for the D9 treatment. You plan to do any more?

Yeah, well that's why I tried it. Weta emailed me and said they 'haven't any shipped any D9 stuff to Canada' So I chose not to be the first

Canada customs are pretty Fascist about not letting anything that even remotely looks like a firearm into the country.

Although it's clearly not modelled after a REAL gun, you'd think they'd let it through, but I'm not taking any chances.
