On the subject of a spring rifle, you never know... Hasbro's pretty sneaky. I mean the ttg, just came out of nowhere. It looked nothing like the concept art (which was a nite finder, if anyone else remembers the pics). But personally, I don't care if we get one, I want that dvd-set.

So I actually created my lancer back in october for a halloween project. My floormates and I are big into gears, and I thought they would get a kick out of it. I made the gun in two days, and only with materials I had at hand (minus they toy chainsaw, I bought at walmart). My lancer is far less refined than Forsaken angel's, but I made it to look cool and still use in nerf wars. It looked better when I first made it, but I think it has held up well after seeing some action. Anyways, pics:
I regret not posting it sooner. Seeing what forsaken angel did, I felt compelled to post my ghetto-er version. The chainsaw is velcroed on so that I can remove it during games. I think it is a good balance of replication and functionality. Comment away.

Thanks for the comments.
Forsaken, I was debating that too, but so far I don't see any weakness. The body doesn't flex or separate there, so I think it would be safe to cut.
I regret not taking pics the moment I finished. The appearances have definitely degraded. I might just take the decorative stuff off and have a black lancer.
I forgot to mention also, it's modded with the spring from a pump shot gun.

I just wanted to say thanks, and awesome work to OS1.
I've been inspired by your stuff to make a steampunk rifle of my own. I had an RFR laying around that I wanted to get rid of, so I figured why not. I used to be really into painting warhammer figurines, and I think that some of the painting skills that I learned can be scaled up. I also have a box full of citadel paints.
I hope you don't mind my intrusion onto your "turf" so to speak. I do plan on selling it on ebay when it's complete. It's not going to be as good as your stuff, I'm pretty sure. But I plan on taking my time on it. I've really taken note of some of the details that you put on your guns, and I can tell that those small details really complete it.

Peg board, 4 screws, and 12 washers is what I used. Three washers between each corner of the peg board and the wall.
I also found a bunch of hooks that are used for power drills. These hold a pistol nicely. Combine 2 for a longer gun. This is what I use for my airsoft guns. I've slowly been rebuilding an arsenal, so I may build a rack on the opposite wall for nerf.

So, I was pretty impressed with the stuff OS1, or professor Shagnasty was putting out. I wanted to try it out for myself. I had an RFR lying around, so I figured rather than not being able to sell it here, with some time and paint, I could make a decent amount for it on ebay. Anyways, pics:
I hand painted it all with Citadel (aka warhammer) paints. It took probably eight or nine hours in total. This was over the course of a week. It's not modded, and still gets RFR ranges (i.e. terrible). I'm pretty happy with it though. I set out to create a steampunk nerf gun and it didn't turn out to be a pile of shit. I'd really love to hear everybody's comments. Also, it's up on eBay. *wink*
I forgot to mention, it's called the L.A.R. 6 for lever action rifle 6. As you can see it's painted on the mag along with "pax in terra" latin for peace on earth.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Gears - for the wood grain I sprayed it with black to prime it. Then I used a large smooth brush to lay down streaks of Scorched Brown. Then I went back to add midtones with Bestial Brown, and highlights with Vermin Brown. After that I applied a light wash of chestnut ink, wiping it away with a paper towel. After that I added some more highlights.
I'm happy to share any painting techniques with everybody. So feel free to ask.
Anyways I'm hoping that I get more than 40 bucks, which is roughly what it cost.

Thanks Carbon.
The barrel was primed with black. Using a stiff brush I dabbed it with a coat of Dwarf Bronze. Then I added highlights with Shining Gold. Then I applied a wash of chesnut ink, wiping it away with paper towels. I added a few more highlights with Chainmail and Mithril Silver. Then I gave it a wash of Yellow ink, followed by a few more highlights with bronze and gold.
The shells were simpler. A black base coat with Shining Gold dabbed on with a stiff brush. Added some highlights of Dwarf Bronze. Yellow ink wash. Then a few more highlights.
I highly recommend Citadel paints. They are fairly expensive, but they have a very workable consistency that allows you to create textures. The paint also covers well, and I really didn't have to use that much to paint the whole gun.
EDIT:
Well, here's a mini write up banshee. I have plans to paint / customize and mod a maverick, so maybe I'll do a writeup.
Vacc - The shells have stood up to abuse. I have tested the gun a bunch of times, and they haven't been scratched from falling on to the floor. There's some wear on the mag, and on the inside of the gun. I didn't give those much of a clear coat since I didn't want to gum up the workings.

Nerfsharpie - warhammer paints are about $2.50 ish for a small jar. The paint goes a long way though. I used to get them at Hobbytown USA, but they stopped carrying them. Gaming stores probably have them. Of course the internets do too.
ballistic - I used regular whistling darts that I cut down and spraypainted silver. The clockwork thing is umm, some clockwork. I yanked the guts out of a clock. Some of the other stuff I used was an antique camera flash handle, and part of the Jango Fett nerf gun (finally a use for that POS)
Thanks again for the comments guys, I wasn't expecting such a positive reception.

I love the gun, but I have a question... Are those painted sonic microa?
Yes.
Nerfsharpie - They are sort of expensive. From my experience, Testors paints are harder to use. They are much more watery than Citadel. I don't think you could achieve some of the same textures, but I'm not sure. I haven't used Testors in years. They might have a wider array of umm "gun-ly" colors.

What sort of paint did you use for them? The same as the gun? Does the paint affect range?
I just used some silver spraypaint on them, nothing special. I don't think that it affects the range, but I've just been eyeballing it.
EDIT: I finally bothered to get some official ranges. Distances were measured in my basement, with an antique yard stick no less (thats just how committed to the Steampunk genre I am, also it was the closest measuring device). I'm glad to say that they are better than what I had been estimating.
Ranges from shortest to longest, one magazine worth, there was 2 feet of ground skipping on average for the furthest darts.
9'
12'
19' 8"
26'
26'
29'
Range - 20 ft (I'm not sure why it varies so much)
Average - 20.29 ft
So, it's a little bit better than I had been estimating. It's undeniably an RFR though. I'd like to add that the posts in the shells HAVE been removed

For those of you that are using Warhammer paint, I have a question. I went to Games Workshop a few days ago to buy paint and the guy asked me what I was going to paint, I said, "a toy gun," and he told me that, "Our paint isn't good for those type of things because the oils in your hand will make our paint wear out faster because our paint is water based." (Of course that's a summarized version) Then he asked me, "what're going to paint again? a NERF GUN ...so I'm thinking that he knows alot of people go there to buy paint for nerf guns... Anyways, he told me to buy "Enamel Spray Paint" and that it's only $1 at Wal-Mart (it actually was $1-5 depending on the brand...) so I bought this spray paint and put masking tape on parts of my gun, painted it, let it dry etc. My first gun that I painted was a tech target (that I bought modded, it was really good) and when I was finished painting (that includes a whole day of drying) the range decreased dramatically, most of the time, it wouldn't even shoot, i'm not sure if banding it will help or not but anyways:
Hmm, well I'm not sure why the guy was so against making a sale. Any paint is going to come off of something that's handled a lot. With a good clear coat that shouldn't make a huge difference.
Here is my question:
Do you think that the enamel paint decreased my range?
(And yes, I did paint the gun intact, and I painted the cocking mechanism...maybe I shouldn't have done that, but hey, it was my first paint job)
I would bet that it was the paint on the cocking mech. If you still have the gun, try some silicon spray on it.
P.s. Also, concerning the Warhammer paint, when you paint the primer, then paint over that, do you use the sealant (the guy at Games Workshop said, you should paint with the primer, paint the color you want it to be and then paint the sealant, which he also said, "is alot more expensive, because the primer is about this much, then paint is about $3 a pot [and I know that 1 pot can't paint a whole gun, you might need more depending on the gun] and then you have to buy the sealant," and compared to $5 enamel spray paint...that seems way more expensive)
So my questions are: Do you actually use the sealant, or do you just use the primer, then paint over it?
And if you don't use the sealant, does the paint come off (in any specific areas, e.g. the handle because your hand is there...or the hand grip or the stock etc.)
A couple things; I don't use the Citadel clear coat or primer. I do on miniatures, but for this gun I primed it with Rustoleum ultra flat black. And used Krylon gloss clear coat. I painted a longshot with just enamel spray paint and after a few games the paint was coming off of the edges of the handle. Any way you paint a gun, you should use clear coat. (not sure about vinyl dye)
Also, one pot WILL paint a whole gun. The paint really goes a long way. If you were doing a gun in one solid color, you could probably paint say 2 mavericks, or 3 nitefinders with one pot for an example.
Nice MrDelish! Ooh ooh, lemme guess, dark angels green, shining gold, and chainmail?

I agree with mintee, there is a lot of fun to be had indoors.
The only place I play is in the dorms at school. It's really a suitcase college, so the buildings are more or less empty on Saturdays. Dorm buildings really have everything. There are lots of tight corners, choke points, and other places for ambushes. There are also huge open areas, 200ft hallways, and open lounge areas with low cover.
I think that indoor environments are really very versatile. I've had to diversify my arsenal to keep up, and it seems like I use different guns each time we play. It's very fun to run around clearing rooms and staircases SWAT style.

Ah, thanks dude. I've been waiting for your feedback.
The one thing that I like about the Citadel paints is that I can control the viscosity by how much water I add. The other thing is, I don't know how inks will interact with enamels. The inks really give things a richer color, and I'm not sure I could paint as well with other paints. Citadel paints are what I am used to.
I am a little worried now about the whole lube thing. I've been using silicon spray, and I hope that it doesn't have any ill effects. That never really occurred to me how lube and paint might react. I figured that everything was fine if it was clear coated.
And I do admit to cutting some corners on prep. In retrospect, I wish I had sanded the warnings off.
I'm starting on a Maverick soon. Now I'm not sure whether to continue using Citadel paints or enamels. As a side note, I wish I could find little gizmos and doo-dads that are as cool as yours. I was really impressed by the 42K.
