New parts, or just painted?

I can see that you've added the feathers to the hammer, as a decorative touch. The problem that the moving parts give you here is that the paint gets rubbed off, as you can see the garish orange around the trigger mechanism and the revolving barrel. I see that you didn't attempt to conceal it on the muzzle at all.

Now, being a gamer, I would suggest that this is for some degree of LARP or cosplay, as those are two perfect uses for a nerf gun like this. Having researched the model, I can clearly see that your work is detailed and makes the gun practically unrecognisable it the first instance. I'm worried that using such a thing of beauty will only lead to the paint peeling or chipping off, which is not a nice thing, since you've done such a good job on it.

Do you get many requests for this sort of thing and how much do you charge?

Okay, I'm jealous.

How...? I don't...? What...?

It's just awesome. It seriously looks like you grabbed that out of the hands of one of the little sisters from Bioshock. The feathers are a nice touch, too.

Remove the air restrictor on that baby, maybe buff up the darts a little, hey. Your friend would have a pretty nice welt-maker.

Air restrictors are removed. It's for a LARP so it can't be too powerful. Safety and all that rot.

Bang Bang!

These are definitely getting better my man.
Although I have got to mention that I'm not fond of the lack of multiple views. I know you have some in yout thread, but here would be nice as well. Especially since you don't have the harsh size restrictions that we have to deal with in the Forum.

One thing I would like to see more of, especially on a custom like this, is more scraped metal. You can dry brush it in or you can take a little silver paint on a small piece of paper and act like you are sanding certain areas and edges. It will also give the gun a more worn feel. The reason I bring this up is because I can see where you have some major scratches carved in, and I think by adding the minor scratches will help you reinforce that look with out much effort.

Speaking of what are you using to add those battle scars? I'm just curious, but I assume a dremel tool.

One thing I need to point out, a flaw, is the seam of the gun. you can see the original yellow plastic starting to poke through. Similar problem are happening with the trigger and the screw holes. You may want to take the extra step to primer these a little more.

I am really although there is a few areas (the seam), I am really enjoting the paint job. The paint looks metallic which gives it a really cool Scifi-fantasy feel. Even Lulu mentioned that the feathers give it a Final Fantasy feel too.

Keep it up, I hope to see more customs from you, and not just guns either. I hope to see some more really cool stuff. I may even have to give it a shot myself soon.

MajesticBob responds:

Indeed a Dremel for the scars. The seam is because of the damn camera flash. In person you can not see it. But eh, I'll keep on trucking. Gas Masks to come soon.
