Just... e-freaking-gad, it's awesome @_@

Can I send you mine? xD

if you feel like donating it to me, sure!

Well done!

Thank you

what do i think?

HAWT. can i take it?

My maverick, you no can haz

Very well, done... but the orange trigger does seem to really stand out now... :x

Oh, that come out really nice, though I would paint the trigger if you can (though I know you might not be able to pop it out considering how the gun is made).

everything I read said never to undo the silver screws, if you don't put those back perfectly the gun will not work! I'm willing to live with an orange trigger, if I try painting it while it's attached theres a good chance it'll jam due to the paint

Oh, so that's what Elm would use in Nerf combat...

Definitely 5 outta 5 stars XD

sweet work, so how ya do it?

nothing too fancy. I took the gun apart, sanded off the nerf logos then sprayed all the parts with a cheap primer (this might have been a mistake). Pretty much I just took a metallic finish spray paint (gold and aluminum in this case) and sprayed the appropriate parts. I took my primsmacolor black marker and went over the little groves to make them pop a bit and finally just used some model paint ("snake bite leather" brown) I had from Warhammer40k miniatures and painted the handle. I used long strokes and didn't dilute the paint like you normally would because I didn't want a smooth coat on the handle.

It honestly wasn't that much work.

Looks smoothly done! I love the detailing on those little lines that Nerf molds in them that never had any real definition. :3

Pretty awesome - I was going to comment on the handle - looks really good.
I've got to wait for the one I ordered to arrive....or maybe nip out at lunch and see if I can pick up one locally too

Here's the real semi-auto revolver.

Nerf guns are painted outrageous and bright colors to indicate that they are toy weapons. Most toy weapons have some orange coloring to indicate such.

While that's a sweet paint job, be careful with it if you take it outside, some moronic soccer mom may call the police.


And I personally like the C-60 Longshot ^.^

niiiice! i got my Vulcan paint done by myself http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4030130/ retained the orange bits tho to indicate it's still a toy

As someone who's done a steampunk LARP before, that gun is painted perfectly. Nice job on the handle, and I'd reccomend leaving the trigger orange, at least keeping that orange will keep most people from bitching about it.

thanks, honestly I just didn't want to take the whole thing apart to paint the trigger. I would love to get more into steam punk stuff though

Most people in the games I do play don't paint the trigger. Typically, that's the one thing that's left unpainted, as well as occasionally the bright orange tip of it, if people are really paranoid about how realistic their paintjobs are.
