Description
I was asked to make a nerf gun that had the finish of an 1800s Colt revolver...not sure if I nailed it, but I liked the results regardless. Now to see if he's statisfied!

i just noticed that the N-Strike logo isn't on there. how did you make it "disappear"?

Oh, that's just sanded down with about 150-220 grit sandpaper

Well, you should sand nerf guns before painting anyways, oh and don't forget plastic primer :3

Thanks Marc! Classic for a reason, right? It's amazing how good "simple" can look

Heck yeah! With your skills, it screams 'real metal' and you can almost feel the heft of the steel looking at it! I can never quite nail that look down... I faved it for inspiration!

the finish looks completely authentic, but i think firing it might require wrist reinforcing technology...

this looks amazing. *goes to grab own Nerf Maverick for comparison* yours is easily ____ times better than the original paint job. i have to know, what kind of paint do you use to make these look so damn awesome?

Thanks! I use Testor Model Masters paints for the more earth tones they offer. The acrylic is really nice for clean up and less toxic fumes
