Always a hoot to shoot!

Always a hoot to shoot!

This received "my treatment", but only to about 85%...

This will be added to the back of my T-800 display (mostly as a counterweight), so accuracy was not the first priority...

Did I mention this was a Nerf gun?

Wow that looks great! Do you have any before shots or care to detail all you did to it?

No before shots...

But...

--Weighted the stock as best I could
--Primed the stock and foregrip
--Sanded off the pebbly texture molded into the "wood" parts
--Sanded at 80-grit to add "wood grain"
--Sprayed a Rust-Oleum "2X Espresso"
--Sanded the color coat to about 1,000-grit
--Sprayed all the "wood" a solid black
--Wet sanded this off (down to 3,000-grit) leaving the black in the scratches to simulate the grain
--Gun metal parts were sprayed with Rust-Oleum "2X Satin Black" then wet sanded down to 3,000 grit, then rubbed out with a cotton cloth
--Highlighted edges with silver paint
--Sling was black, so sprayed it with Rust-Oleum "2X Moss Green" then weathered with black, brown, and white pastel chalk powder

Wish I could have removed the orange ring on the muzzle, but seemed to be fully integrated.
