The Official "Modification and Paintjob" Thread

[Windcalmer]

Ok, here is what I have been working on for the last week or so. $4 Super Soaker Flash Flood (brand new in box at goodwill), a Bell bike pump ($1 at Salvation Army), and a mister thingy (You fill it with water, pump it and it sprays a fine mist $1 at goodwill) 

You end up with this! I went for the horror end of the comedy spectrum. It will break 100' easy with both barrels ((each around 14 inches long or so)). I did make a 4 barrel for the top that will shoot 8 stefans just about 40' flat. I have not had a chance to get hard numbers or even see really how far it will shoot yet. Cold and snowy outside. But I am almost sure it will do FAR more than 100' easy. With the eyeball darts it will only do about 40' and they NEVER EVER hit what you aim at, but they are funny, so I am gonna keep them with it for now. Oh yeah, the whole thing glows in the dark. The spots of dripping paint are the places it glows the most, but the whole thing has 5 coats of glow paint on it.

Enjoy! And please let me know what you think.

Got the darts finished. Added the bloodshot look and then cleared them.

No, I'm not dead.  Just some projects I've done (many more, just no time for pics):









BW'ed Long Shot and Disk Shot repaint with Laser integrated.

Grabbed a TetraStrike the other day. It was fun to fire off all four darts, but it was lacking a certain something. So I pulled it apart, CPVC'd all the barrels and gave it a quicky paintjob. I need to close up the front bits where it doesn't fit quite right, but I can pull it apart later and fix that.

Here she is. I am figuring about a two fold increase in range. Its dark here so I can't get ranges but it stings like crap now.

Longshot I just finished.  Clearcoat coming next which is why it's just a picture of the shell.

[NerfDude1138]

Not my choice of color preference, but nicely done.

I was finally able to finish my second Lock n' Load.  CPVC breech.





Last mods for these is to remove the bend at the end of the plunger rod and add an extension so I can put a proper handle rather than a key ring and paint.

I love that LnL that pops did in the last post, good job! How about a write-up?

As for myself, I just finished some paint on a Longstrike.

Worked on a NF I had laying around. I had chopped it down to almost nothing and didn't like the feel of it being so small. I saw a LSFG handle laying in the trash and grabbed it. Figured I would try some plastic welding with a soldering iron. ((Yes I know that is not best method. Yes I know that solvent welding would have been far better.)) Much to my surprise it worked great. After I had welded the whole handle in place and let it cool down I threw it around for a few minutes to make sure it was a good strong bond. It was. I had fun throwing it up and letting it crash into the driveway. ((Neighbors think I am nuts I think))

Here are the pics. The paint is almost done. I am only adding a four shot switchable barrel to the coupler. Enjoy!








Here is a teaser. NF rifle WIP. The silver tape is temp till the glue cures.

My 2nd RSCB BBB.  This time the clip is in the top rail and goes all the way to the back of the blaster.  It is made from 5/8" PETG with a 9/16" breech in the gap where the shells come apart.  It holds 10 1.5" stefans.  There is a replacement plunger head and a K26 + BBB spring combo. On the PETG is a piece of thinwall PVC that acts as a stopper so the blaster cannot be overdrawn.  I'm experimenting with a 6" and 5" barrel setup.
