Nerf Gun Props? YES!

[Solo]

I was commissioned to build a ray gun for a theater prop. Started with an Nerf DoubleStrike:

Combination of some old science department lens, aluminum fin, adjustable foot from a dryer, paint, some leather....
Non functioning as a Nerf, but looks great.

NEATO! Looks like it'll pack a wallop!

That's a pretty mean looking raygun Monk . Nice result.

Here's a pic of me with my M41a modded Nerf Stampede from Dragoncon. It was kind of a rush job and I am working on it again to finish it up and clean up the grenade launcher but as it is here I did get some praise for it that night. I really like the Stampede variation of the M41a, I'll be using it again in future cons!

Long time lurker first time poster, here's my Nerf Centurion. 'Her Benevolence' from Destiny for my girlfriend though it's too large for her to weild now with the barrel extended that far.

I don't know how you guys feel about cross-posting, but I am proud of my stuff and so here goes...

Nerf Magnum made into a Borderlands Torgue Bad Touch Bangstick.

Nerf Retaliator (?) into a Borderlands Hyperion Solid transmurdera.

Both are non-funtional. I have more stuff on my facebook or deviantart pages.

I find I've had the same issues as a lot of you, but I'm stubborn, so.....I've now made 2 different Veras out of Nerf Recons

Just finished Nerf's E7 Deluxe Blaster.
Now I hope Hasbro re-releases the other Sterling derived Nerf, the

Rebel Trooper Electronic Blaster.​

I got myself a little rotary tool (a Dremel clone) and decided that a proper celebration required the utter destruction of something.

I wanted to have a play around with some rusting techniques that I've seen used to great effect too. This one uses liquid masking film and ground spices for a slightly different look, and it comes up smelling really nice too

Dremel destruction ftw! \m/

Love the rust technique... any link you could hook me up with?

Love the rust technique... any link you could hook me up with?

This is the youtube tutorial that I got the original idea from: Tutorial - Cheapest Way To Rust A Model Car
It really is ridiculously easy - the only difference was that I started with a base coat of rust red which I weathered slightly before applying the liquid mask and the met-blue, then I used more rust red to adhere the spices in the appropriate places (rather than the all-over technique in the tutorial vid). After that there was one more black wash for added grimy-ness and a bit of thinned out rust dribbled over the brassy-looking bits.

PS. thanks for the positive vibes all

That's some amazing work, it really looks like it spent a few years underground.

 

[xl97]

that turned out amazing!

great job!

Vim Fuego, you win the internet for me today. That rust is stunning.

This has been one of those jobs that I just can't seem to finish, and tbh, there's still some detailing to do. But as they say; 'Art is never truly finished, merely abandoned...'

Hey, I happened to find one of these for about $2 at the Goodwill without the magazine or any additional accessories. Does this ring any bells for anyone for anything film/TV related? I swear I've seen this somewhere before.

I have had the Star Lord mini blaster sitting on my desk for way too long and got sick of the orange and blue.



The only mod was cutting the dart flush with the end of the barrel and filling it with hot glue.
The screw holes were filled with hot glue.
The carbon fiber effect on the grips was carbon and then silver dry brushed onto the little rectangles and then given a double coat of future floor polish.

 

[RIPSTAR Props]

Just got into the NERF customization game maybe a month ago, so don't judge too harshly lol. These are my first projects. You definitely learn A LOT from each one and from mistakes, and then fixing the mistakes. Hopefully I can continue to get them better and better. The painting is definitely helping me practice for my EVA projects.
