i’m literally so fucking done with alot of people on FTWD. nick left his fucking little sister. he left his mom. to go fuck with zombies. ofelia left to do god know what after alicia told her they were family. she tells you you’re family and you leave? madison pays 0 attention to her daughter because she only focus on her drugged son meanwhile alicia always stays loyal to her mom and never left. chris needs to go. always said it, always will. travis is meh. whatever. alicia and strand should leave this dumbass hotel and slay the world of zombies together, they’d prob have more chances.

BioShock Infinite Nerf Rayven steampunk style gun

Another week and another video game homage, surprise surprise. This is a game I am soooo excited about I just cannot tell you, "BioShock Infinite", the latest game in the brilliant "BioShock" series by Irrational and 2K. Anyway I wanted to do a Nerf Rayven in a different style and figured this was it. I am a HUGE fan of the BioShock series, I bought the games, most of the toys from the games and I've played them through a couple of times, the writing in these games is just.. well, wonderful. As well as the writing, the artistic design of the BioShock games is just beautiful. BioShock Infinite changes the style somewhat, given the setting differs from the city of Rapture seen in the previous titles, but it still looks astonishing. Anyway this is my little homage to the "BioShock Infinite" world, a Nerf Rayven with a twist...

[caption id="attachment_2424" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="The Rolston Reciprocating Rayven... The Triple R."][/caption] I thought this would look cool with something different than just another Rayven with colored paneling, so I went with wood grain panels (or woodgrain panels if you prefer). This added some zing to the blaster, wood grain looks nice with brass and copper tones. I'll add another 2 images as these top photos don't really show this gun off to how pretty it is, this is definitely a display piece for sure! [caption id="attachment_2427" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="This shows the metallic highlights and wood grain areas a bit better."][/caption] [caption id="attachment_2428" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="BioShock Infinite has some cool weapons, this is a homage to the Rolston Repeater"][/caption] As with all blasters / props / art pieces, this one is for sale, so if you want it, just email me. Till next time funsters! This post written for GirlyGamer.com.au official blog of artist in her own residence, Nerfenstein. If you haven't already, join me on Facebook!

Nerfenbot 2000 Nerf steampunk robot from scraps

The Nerfenbot 2000 is a silly fun Nerf mod I decided to do for a couple of reasons. One, I had a lot of scraps and wanted to use some and two, to try and get my creative juices flowing again (I'm a little stagnated at the moment and rather than churn out same old same old, went for a Nerf mod that is totally different). The result is the Nerfenbot 2000, what a fun little guy! He's made entirely of Nerf pieces from my junk drawer (pretty much). He's also got a red LED 'terminator' eye and is a homage to some of the great robots in pop culture I added the various quotes to his warning label, see how many you can get!

[caption id="attachment_2417" align="aligncenter" width="378" caption="Nerfenbot 2000 steampunk junkbot from Nerf scraps"][/caption] Hope you like him. Nerfbot 2000 over and out! Post written for GirlyGamer.com.au and Nerfenstein.com

Team Fortress 2 pistol prop toy gun mod

Just a quick one for today, This is my take on the Team Fortress secondary weapon, the humble pistol. It's not exact, but then it's not meant to be, this was just for funsies and I left the paint job sort of cartoony to match the idea it came out of a game. I also fully weighted it so it's heavy to pick up. I might do a few more Team Fortress props as I'd like to try a really flat cartoon / cel-shaded style of painting. I guess we'll see what the future holds, for now though I give you the Team Fortress pistol prop.

Warehouse 13 steampunk Tesla prop pistol for H.G. Wells

H.G. Wells Tesla pistol W13 - I've gone Tesla crazy since finally sourcing some vacuum tubes (thanks again Carole!). First there was Claudia's mini Tesla pistol last week and now a H.G. Wells steampunk Tesla pistol this weekend! If you're wondering why a H.G. Wells steampunk Tesla over the regular Tesla, it's because H.G. is my favorite Warehouse 13 character and I'm still having trouble sourcing parts for the actual Warehouse 13 Tesla pistol prop. Anyway I figured it only right H.G. Wells get a Tesla all her own! I LOVE the detail in this blaster, it is beautiful, I only wish I could remember where I got it from as I want more! I fully weighted it, so it's heavy to pick up and added the vacuum tube, after finding one that fit perfectly, after I had taken a saw to the gun itself.

[caption id="attachment_2395" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Steampunk Tesla every time-traveling lady should have one"][/caption] I've added a couple of other angles because in all honesty these images don't show this gun as it looks in the flesh so to speak. I did a multi-toned dry brushing and dragging technique on this and it worked really well. You can't see it but the colors include copper, brass, bronze, gold, lead and silver, that's without the 'bone' grip, which I did as opposed to black or brown as I thought it would look better against the darkness of the metals. [caption id="attachment_2396" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption=""I smell apples" H.G. Wells - Warehouse 13"][/caption] Anyway, there it is, the H.G. Wells steampunk Tesla pistol - A Warehouse 13 homage to Helena Wells. Hope you liked it. This post written for GirlyGamer.com.au blog of Nerfenstein Blasters & Props.
