Nerf Gun Props? YES!
- Thread starter JohnsonArms
- Start date
Strongarms, and all the elites in general, have a sci-fi looking going for them.
They don't look modern, and definitely too sleek for steampunk. Go for something futuristic.
You're right, I think I might go for a Halo inspired paint job.
The train I used was plastic model kit of Richard Trevithick's Penydarren, the worlds first steam locomotive.
Steampunking Iron Man should be cool, Cast Iron Man or Iron Gentleman perhaps?
I look forward to the first Strongarm mods.

Here's a couple thing's I'm working on. Nerf is pumping out some REAL cool new guns, here's a couple oldies (Stampede & Vigilon) and a couple new ones (Diatron & Roughcut 2x4)

The last two look like that out of the box (minus paint, that is).
NERF has some rad designs lately.

Ya, and the cool thing is they really do kick *****. They both shoot 2 darts, or discs, at a time. And the shotgun is an elite series, so they do 60-70 feet! And they were both under $20 each.

Here's my battle damaged Maverick with a few nicks and dents from being heavily used in many battles. I used two coats of flat black spray paint for the base, and dry brushed aluminium and copper over the top. I painted the screw detail in gold, then finished it with an acrylic spray clear coat.

Nice work! I especially like the battle damage!:thumbsup

I've got a bunch torn apart and one sanded. Hopefully I'll have paint on them by this weekend, it's just so friggin' cold here!
I have done a few scale vector drawings though...
Thanks for lookin'...T

Looks great! really like the colour contrast?
Also, is that canister under the barrel meant to say 和？That's Chinese for "and". :x

Help!
I've had this before a bit, but never to this extent.
This is a 2nd coat of silver (a brand I've used a lot) and it's "cracking" almost immediately when it hits the flat black primer coat. My thoughts are:
1) oils from my hand transferred to the gun when masking
2) was a bit cold out (but i've sprayed in the cold before with no issues)
3) why did the silver stick to rest of the gun well?
4)should the gun be wiped down before spraying? if so, what will clean the area without messing with the paint that's already on their?
Any advice is appreciated.

Sounds like a paint incompatibility
Areas where paint was sprayed on thin allowed the solvents to dry fast without serious issues. Areas where paint went on wet allowed solvents to eat into the under coat hence the crackling. In cars we sanded it off and repainted. Always best to test out paint compatabilies on scraps.
