#nerf repaint

[animecatcosplays]

This is my first nerf customization, with one picture of how i was when I got it. 

I never even owned a nerf before, I was surprised this was only 20€, i thought they were way more expensive

Something I absolutely love doing crafting wise is taking Nerf guns or blaster's and repainting them/beating up to make them seem battle worn.

Before I Post this, this is a NERF BLASTER!

A CHILDREN'S TOY! I repeat, A TOY

So chill out

Once again this is a FAKE TOY BLASTER THAT SHOOTS FOAM DARTS

*This was a fun thing I did btw I’m obviously not a professional*

Step 1: Buy the Nerf gun that most closely resembles the SE-44C (this one was about £15 on Amazon)

Step 2: Find yourself a nice reference picture (courtesy of some lovely person who scanned the visual dictionary)

Step 3: Use sandpaper to get rid of those pesky warnings (luckily most of them are only on one side). The Star Wars logo is on both sides and will require significant force to smooth down 

Step 4: Spray all over with a few layers of grey primer (I left the inside of the barrel orange to comply with con weapon regulations) (I also detached the viewfinder and sprayed that separately) 

Step 5: Use masking tape to cover the areas you want to stay grey and then use your black spray paint. I did two or three coats and removed the tape after the paint had dried

Step 6: Repeat for the silver panel and don’t worry about the screws for now because it’s easier to paint them by hand 

Step 7: Reattach the viewfinder and add details to the silver panel and paint the screws to match the ones in the reference picture (ignore my crappy fake paper screws - I was too lazy to use real ones!). Now you can touch up any mistakes too (I used acrylics and Sharpie)

Step 8: To add some light weathering and to bring out the grooves I used a black acrylic wash on the grey areas. I also used a bit of white paint to make the features on the black part look less flat. You can also add a layer of clear matte spray to finish it off.

I’m fairly happy with it but I’m tempted to fill in the holes and I’ll replace the fake paper screws with real ones at some point in the near future. The grey colour I used was way too light but I don’t think I’ll change that because it looks pretty ok with the weathering.

Just finished painting some nerf guns! This is my first time doing anything like this, so I think I did okay! I might paint the hammer and trigger after I come back from the larp...we'll see.

Just waiting for the first coat of Burnt Umber on the stock to dry. Then begins the long and sometimes painful task of adding the wood grain effect

Buzzbee shotgun mod

Been working on my buzzbee double-barreled shotgun of late. I have been posting on my snapchat more over the past week or so, I just was lazy and didn’t post them here. Sorry :/

Since the last post, I’ve refilled the foregrip with Isopon over a wire mesh.

Once fully hardened, I sanded as smooth as I could get it, then made another pass in Isopon to fill any gaps and level it off more.

After a good sanding, I painted it with Burnt Umber acrylic, and added a touch of white to that same colour to paint the grain effect.

Once that dried, I masked off the barrel and sprayed clear lacquer, switched the masking and worked on cleaning up the barrel and then spraying with gloss black.
