Hey, thanks for the input! I don't want to crap up this thread with replies to every comment, so I'll put them all in here: Cutting them into little chunks works great, if 1)you have time to cut 50lbs of urethane rubber into .75"x.75" cubes. It's doubly hard if your molds are thicker than .75"...

So I'm starting to accumulate a lot of one-time use molds. Some projects I've done, I've needed 4 or 5 two part molds, one for each stage of casting/cleaning/polish. I've ended up with a LOT of cured urethane rubber molds that I no longer need, and I'm looking for ways to try to recycle it into...

If you're looking for an alternative to real metal foundry work, cold casting metal is fun and a bit easier than pouring molten metal. I've used the smooth on nickel silver powder with smooth cast 325 and it gives the piece a hefty weight and a metallic real metallic finish. There's multiple...

Nice! Here's my Cursed Bane with lights and sfx: Check out the video here of it in action here: Borderlands 2 Cursed Bane SMG with LIGHTS AND SOUNDS - YouTube Apparently, Anthony Burch just tweeted the video. He approves. :3 POST MOAR BORDERLANDS GUNS!

Blargh. I've been following this thread off and on since the first post, but I don't think I ever got around to posting in it! Or maybe I posted the Aliens Pulse Rifle and Brimstone last year? Anyway, this thread needs more Borderlands 2:

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS LOVE IT! That's the design theme I was going for too: the 1920s era Buck Rogers atomizing ray gun look. Somebody months ago in this thread commented that "more is less" with the Bison and there's a...

Thanks! It's pretty long and hard to photograph, but there's a lot of little details:

Finished my Fallout: New Vegas mod for the Nerf Longstrike. It's 60" long and a pain in the butt to photograph. Also, Photobucket doesn't seem to want to let me upload any images larger than this. Thanks, jerks, what do I have a paid account for then?

Hey, did anyone see the Gears O'War Lancer conversion for the Stampede on Kotaku this morning? Not Only Does This Nerf Lancer Fire Darts, It's Fully Automatic

Definitely worth the $99, that thing is huge! If you don't want to deal with the hassle of going to a Gamestop to preorder and pick up a retro lancer, you can preorder it online at Games for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, 3DS, PS2, PSP, Used & PC + Consoles | GameStop and they will ship it to you. I...

Hey, are you still available for converting 3d models to papercraft files? Also, can you recommend anyone who can offers papercraft armor services to do the reassembly? Seems like the people I know of who can fold paper are full up on commissions right now.

HAY GUYZ! If you feel inspired and want to paint nerf guns but don't want to spend a ton of money, buy the Nerf Nite Finder. They're under 10 bucks, and if you own a Dremel, there's a buttload of paint schemes and modifications you can do to them to achieve a Halo, Steampunk, Sci-fi, or vintage...

That's some good looking detail for being vacuformed! Did you reinforce the plastic helmet with anything? It looks like you'd have to use a thin plastic to get those good angles.

Dammit, therpf, why can't you have a "like" button like facebook!? There's a bunch of great work in this thread. LIKE!

You should. Start looking at attaching more pieces to guns that aren't already too busy visually, and isolate and emphasize all the different parts on the guns that already have a lot going on. Like this one from the above article:
