Ha! I take that as high praise! Isn't there someone who's supposed to beat me up for wasting time painting nerf guns? You guys all seem WAY too nice!

Here's an actual airsoft G36. Yeah, the skull is kind of my trademark logo when people want it on a gun

I haven't taken very many pics of the Nerf stuff I've done, but here's a few (I apologize ahead of time for the bad picture quality):
This was my first Mav, wasn't really thrilled with it, but I did find this great little cross with a skeleton climbing on it that fit perfectly on the slide.
This one has another part to it that I haven't done yet, a glass vial that slides into the hole on the top previously used for a ball hopper. I forget what the brand is, but there's an orange flavored energy drink that comes in a bottle with a great shape and it's perfectly sized to fit in that hole. If I can snap a picture of it sometime I'll post it.
Here's some shots of a couple cheapie toy handguns (with working slide action and sounds) that I started to do for Halloween. You can find them super cheap on Amazon, if anybody wants the model just shoot me a pm and I'll look it up.
I did the slides with this Krylon anodized metal paint that I am really enjoying so far. Gives it some great metal shading without all the hassle of painting a base color and then doing a wash over it. If you use it though make sure you shake the hell out of it first or it'll spray like glue.

Thank you!
These all look great!
I love this kind of prop creation. Nothing I saw in this thread couldn't be in a movie. Sand and or putty over the NERF marks and whamo, instant cool-*** movie guns. That's how I really began to love this stuff.
I am inspired now...hmmmm.....

Great stuff, man! I like all the little details. That's what I always work the most on is the last 5% of the build
Post more if you have em!

Ok, let me try to find some more stuff not already seen..
Might have seen this one without the scope and redpoint. I'll be distressing the all black bodies before it goes up for sale.
Almost twins, with a few subtle differences
Maverick with an airsoft tactical light mounted underneath
Nerf Spectre. Love the suppressor and folding stock
Some weird gun that I hated. Painted it anyways and it actually came out cool in an alien kind of way
Nerf Barrel Break
Nerf Nite Finder
One more Maverick...
More later and please keep posting your stuff if you have something to share! Thanks

I painted a nite-finder for my wife's Kaylee and a Longshot for a friend's Jayne costume several DragonCons back.
The only pictures I have (also lo-res phone) are of an old foam missile launcher (definitely not nerf)I modded for my Rebel Vanguard last year:

I have the Nerf Longshot CS-6 (the big one...) and I'd be interested in getting it painted sometime... do you take commissions? Your work is very impressive!

Wow these are too cool! Great work, some really nice finishes.

For sure! Here's a first look at a total longshot that I just finished. I think it came out pretty cool, but man are they a lot of body to paint!
Send me a PM when you're ready to get the work done and we'll get things started. Thanks!

Opposite side of the Longshot. The wording is Latin, "Deus Ex Machina"
Lighter got too close to mt paint table
Spec-Op Nerf Recon
I also do some Steampunk stuff
Nerf Maverick Steampunk Style - real leather grip
A WIP - Districk 9 influences abound!
Goofing around time
Tommy 20 - Full auto
Buzz Bee Nerf Shotgun (the shells eject when you crack the gun open after firing
