Nerf Gun Props? YES!

[JohnsonArms]

thanks man! I ended up using the other scope because I just couldnt get the one you gave me to stay in place. I'll be using that soon though!

For the can, depends a bit on what you're wanting from the finish, but rule of thumb is 2 feet!

Congratulations! Vera looks great. And the others ain't too bad, either.

Did you get that vinyl dye you wanted? How'd that work out?

Alos, technical question: how close to the parts to be painted do you hold your spray cans?

Wow. You guys are really inspiring me to do some painting. Hopefully I'll have some pics to post. Great work everybody

 

[kevinericon]

Yeah.. Vera is very inspirational. Very nice!

I love the UNSC on some of those weapons, Halo FTW!!!

I picked up the Point Break pistol today, and was wondering what you guys think would be the best course for it. I was thinking a Mass Effect weapon. Yea? Nay?

 

[Gunman42]

Okay, it's official. You guys have inspired me. Here's a Speed 6 i picked up to experiment with. It's still a work in progess

I was hesitant to try the Vortex stuff and give up good ol' nerf darts, but I must admit the performance is pretty impressive so far.

I picked up the vigilon purely for it's lack of a painfully obvious pump handle. I'm looking at some paint schemes from the first Mass Effect for it...

 

[Crimson Prime]

I love how much bigger the Vortex range is, plus the light up scope from the high end one is fun.

 

[Bowelrock]

i wanna see some MIB style guns. The "Swarmfire" is a prime candidate.

Hi PhantomRonin,

I thought I would reply because no one else has yet. I picked up a Point Break this week too and was thinking Blade Runner, but I think you can't go wrong with Mass Effect I did a Nerf Proton inspired by Blade Runner a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to try a different shape.

Looking forward to whatever you do.

If you're making a blade runner gun, you gotta have a phone, yes?

Just finished it actually, heh.

I love looking at these mods and repaints. They are all incredibly unique and creative. I have just finished my first, a Nerf Recon with accessories.

I love the way it looks. Only problem I have is when used the paint scrapes off of moving and rubbing parts, and the parts seem to fit tight. The release switch on the clip is sticky; clip also sticks.

Hope you like.

Best,

That's a great idea! What are you going to do about the big orange plug on the top? Or you going to cut it or leave it? Also, should I sand down the logos on the gun, or just hide them really well with the paint?

It looks very tactical, well done! The scraping paint is always a concern, did you sand the body down before you put on paint?

I had this feeling you might like that one, bud! Thanks


Ok, so here comes a few more photos from today...some fairly simple for their purpose and some that have a bit more going on, design-wise

Color is not right, promise..it's more grape purple colored

where did this come from? haha, I get into one of my moods..

Thanks for looking

 

[Mike J.]

Is that purple stuff chameleon paint, or just 'normal'?
