And here’s my new WIP a more ambitious job, it’s inspired by the new order blaster

This is my first Nerf mod and project ever in this hobby! Pretty happy with how it came out. I learned of things i shouldn't do for my next build. I also had to spray paint in -15c weather then bring it back in my garage to dry. That was quite the challenge! haha.

This is a nerf maverick repaint I did a few years ago using a brush on paint that actually develops a genuine forced patina. Bronze and copper areas each reacted differently with the oxidizing agent. Unfortunately, it appears the paint may have been discontinued, as I’ve been unable to find it any longer.
I’m planning to repaint a hammer shot soon, and will have to brush up on painting techniques to create the aged metal appearance so many of you have achieved so wonderfully.

I’m learning a lot from this! So exciting!

This thread is great. I've got a couple of Star Wars blasters that I've been itching to tackle but I've been afraid of messing them up. I bought spares so I think it's time I just jumped in and tried it.

Greetings fellow Nerfinators! Happy new year and all that jazz!
My first project for 2018 is this little fellow - a minimised Longstrike that looks like a face-melting happy-face face-melter.
Similar process to my other blasters: disassembly, sanding, black primer, silver drybrush, masking, rust red and salt, silver base coat, de-salt, liquid mask, yellow coat, de-masking, grip masking, brown coat, light brown drybrush, de-mask, hand brushed detailing, reassembly, grime coat/weathering. Boom. You get the idea...
Pretty happy with how this came out - up close, the yellow has left a nice little ridge where the chipping effect came through brilliantly, and overall the colours contrast against one another nicely.
On to the next! Thanks for looking

Wanted to wait until I had a finished nerf prop before my first post in this thread, been lurking for awhile and a fan of a lot of the stuff I see here. But seeing as I found a pretty decent deal I wanted to pass along. Big Lots, not a store I typically shop so I was lucky to stumble upon this, has buy one get one 50% off on kids activity products, which includes nerf and similar blasters.

Well I did this nice intro post detailing how I'd lurked this thread for like 18 months, and was inspired by various people's work ect ect but it didn't post for some reason. Anyway wanted to pass along that big lots has buy one get one 50% off on their limited selection of blasters. I picked up two nerf mega hotshock blasters for 10.00 and tax total. The deal is online, but that gun is in store online currently so your luck may vary. They also are one of the few places that still sale the drum style buzz bee sidewinder which is how I found out about the deal. Looking forward to sharing some gun pics soon.
Also since I suck at hardware aka garage terminology, another user posted this some back, my question is, what's the technical term for the metal grate/plate behind the gun? I'm looking for literally this exact stuff but can't seem to source it but also searching incorrect keywords may be a big factor.

Hi TyrantProps, welcome to the forum
Fisrt posts can take a bit longer to show up, they'll appear instantly soon enough after awhile though (mods just making sure no bots or spammers are trying to get in)
The grate behind the gun is called perforated sheet (mine is aluminium but is also made from other metals) and comes in different thicknesses and hole sizes and is relatively inexpensive.
Hope that helps
<edit> Just checked my sources and found some with hex shaped holes as well now.

Hi all, have done a few Nerfs & started my own thread before I found out about this one.
Reworked the finish on this one today so I thought I'd post it here!
It's a nerf retaliator, clad in acrylic.
Anyways, hope you like it!

At first I thought you meant it was painted with acrylic but, then I realized what you actually meant. That is really well done. It doesn't even look like a nerf gun anymore. Reminds me of the rifle from Oblivion. Very nice.
Cheers!
& you're absolutely spot on, I did it with the oblivion rifle in mind.
