Sorry for the lack of updates on my Clone Trooper blaster, Real life kicked me in the shin
The good news is that it's almost done!

So lots of people do this.... none nearly as well and as often as Johnson Arms, however... http://www.scifihero.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.png
But having been inspired by this, i decided to take a crack at making a couple of weapons using a Nerf Stampede rifle and a Nerf N-Strike Scout Pistol. I decided to give them a Mass Effect theme (inspired by Johnson Arms' work).

Since there really is nothing to build or mofidy on these two, apart from filling in and sanding screwholes, it's really all about the paintwork... which is quite fun to do and it's amazing how convincing a look can be achieved with just some paint and imagination.
I did also cock the slide back slightly on the pistol to give it a neater profile, and glued it that way. The silver bits on both weapons as well as the metal weathering were done with Silver leafing. The rest is just spray paint and imagination. :-D
Thanks VERY MUCH to Johnson Arms for inspiring me! I've found a new hobby pursuit thanks to you!

So I've been looking on this forum for a long time I thought that would get into gear and make my own prop. Thought I would start easy and convert a nerf gun. Inspiration struck the other month while watching district 9. So after a few weeks of tinkering and stuff I finished. Want to make sure that this project got finished and was not just some thing which I never really sorted.
Pretty pleased with the out come, the weathering I really liked and I feel it gave it the look of being lost in the district for years until mnu found it. Put some work in progress shots up as well to show you guys how it came together.
Enjoy

Hey everyone, I'd found this forum a week ago and have spent hours learning from all of you and your incredible work, so to you, my thanks. =] Must say that this forum had gotten me started on a Borderlands styled Hammershot, of which pictures will be up soon. This is the first gun I've modded, its technically not a functional nerf gun since it shoots airsoft bb's now, but here it is. Porters X2 Ray Gun, inspired by Call of Duty Zombies.

Hi Sar94 and welcome to the RPF. That's a pretty fine first attempt, if I may say so. Did you start with a base gun or build it from scratch? I really like the enamelled metal look. Looking forward to see what you come up with next.
Cheers, Badsprout
Here is my finished Borderlands 2 Unkempt Harold. The base gun is a modified Nerf Hammershot.
