Lemme know guys.
Thanks!

If not, then that could add possibly allow you to shorten the length, but have the same (if not greater) strength...

I'm thinking of offering several options to accommodate. Like basic pulls (no clean-up) for like $30-40. We'll see.If this wasn't a ton of money I'd definitely look into buying one.
As of right now, no. Not unless the new plunger tube had the exactly same O.D. as the stock plunger tube. You could always try though...!Could they be made to accept a custom plunger tube/coupler setup(I.E. 1" PETG, 3/4" thinwall PVC, etc.) or would they be limited to only the stock NF internals?

I will have to cast it in two halves in order to keep access to the internals, so the seam line is inevitable. But I will do my best to make sure it is as unnoticeable as I can.This looks really cool. You said you wanted it cast in resin, will you keep it in halves or cast as a single piece? With the high attention to aesthetic, do you think you'll try to clean up or otherwise minimize the seam between the two halves?

Bingo!Back on topic, that is looking totally awesome. What is that pictured, exactly, I can't tell if it's nicely done woodwork + paint or some kind of craft foam that's been sealed over...
I believe it's textured styrene sheet, quite possibly this product

Adding styrene to the outside for detailing:
Drilled the hole for the screw to attack the plunger tube to the frame:
And added the knob for the trigger to follow:
Still much more to go.
And thanks for all the compliments guys--really looking forward to finishing this project!

Hopefully there will be little work required. I'm engineering this to be as simple as possible.If the price was right, I'd be intirested. How would it work, just screw the NF internals into the shell, or would some serious work be required?
Templates? I'm sure I could release some basic templates when I'm done.Will there be templates when you're done my good sir? Oh and also are you going to use the pull back action of the nitefinder or are you going to make a slide to make it more like the pistol.
As far as the action, I'm keeping it just as the pull-back. Any kind of sliding action would definitely make it much more complicated, thus more time on my end, making it a lot more expensive for you guys.
Not that I didn't consider it though!
I'm definitely excited to be back! It's been a while, huh...? Haha.Holy shit, it's Ronster!
Nice looking project you have going there...looking forward to seeing how it progresses. It's definitely a new approach to shells and homemades/modifications.
Glad to see some people still remember me...
It's MDF and I cut it mostly with a bandsaw. I use a dremel and sandpaper for most of the sanding.I'm not a pro at wood, so what kind of wood is that and what do you cut with?
Pretty basic stuff, not too complicated.
Only got to work on it a little today--only about 30 minutes--but still worked on it nonetheless.
Worked on sanding down the edges of the grip.

I'm hoping to mold the shell and cast it in resin.Wow, never thought I'd see a homemade with an all wooden shell. Props.
And possibly selling some casts in a small run or two.
Would anyone be interested?

Not really.
But I noticed the custom guns he's got look like parts of Nerf guns cleverly put together to create a sweet sci-fi blaster.
But what guns?
You tell me!
Looks like part of a Nf and a Ls...

Just hold up something white (like a piece of paper or jug of milk) and, if your camera has an auto white balance, let it set to your white object. Or if you're lucky (or rich) and you have a white balance adjust button on your camera, adjust it to the white object.
As for the reflection on the fishing line, just a little rotoscoping in After Effects can easily fix that.

I ahve all the tools and what not to actually make it, it's just getting all the parts that's hard for me.
I'll do all the printing and cutting and assembling...
Just like, the raw, un-cut materials?

Although I would really opt of some kind of forgrip or a place to rest your non-shooting hand so you can avoid problems as to where to put your other hand (firefly).

Is this the first bolt (outside of Boltsniper) to actually chamber and eject brass shells?
If so...AWESOME work dude!
I'd love to see simple video of you gun just cycling shells!

#118592 P90 Helix Ramp Mag

Homemades
I've always wondered about how the P90's mag system worked...
Remember my homemade SMG? Well, I had some really cool ideas for it and one fo them involved a magazine on the side of the gun like the game...but I could never really figure out how exactly the P90's magazine worked... Hell, I even looked up the Heckler and Koch G11, which uses a rotating bolt(but that proved to be too complex for my design).
This is where I ask:
Where did you do your research? How did you find out how the clip works? What the hell do you mean by "Helix"?
I'd just like to know about this very interesting clip design.

Are you going to keep the balsa or will you eventually move to plastic sheeting (Lexan)?

It's a neat idea...but it would be hard to fabricate and to get to work well enough for a practical use.
Just keep at it and, maybe, you'll come up with a way to make his work.

They are actually supposed to be Spartan II's in Mk. IV armor.I know this is really off-topic, but I'm thinking Ronster is the go-too guy for this. I'm seeing some bits and pieces of the Spartans from the Halo Wars trailer. What generation of Spartans are they?
Which really bothers me 'cause it looks like a combo between Mk. V and VI, not a predecessor.
I want to leave it black an white to keep a darker mood.Sweet, another nerfer who frequents mjolnirarmor.com.
Back on topic, are you going to add color to it or leave it black/white?
Any ideas for the text?
It's gotta say "Halo" on the bottom somewheres...

I think you're trying to do a "light-bloom" effect. Gabe, from Penny-Arcade, the webcomic, has a little video tutorial on his blog.
That's almost exactly what I need!
This combined with Carbon and Gengar's advice brought me to this:
Anything else I should add to make this beauty perfect?
Maybe a bit of what I did to the arm to the helmet?

But, keep in mind that I only have version 5.5...
It's not new, but it's gotten the job done for me so far.
For the new light rays, should I do like I did for the helmet and vector in part of the armor?
Would that look sharper?

I really like that effect and I really want to use it on the poster design, but I'm not reall that good with PS.
This is what I've got so far...
I like the way the helmet lights look and the illumination on the helmet itself...but the light in the background just looks kinda...dead. I want more interaction between the Spartan and the back light. Like he's really standing there in front of a light and you can see the light being broken up by his silhouette.
Any advice or tutorials you guys might have found that could help?

As for spiderman 3...
Did you hear about Pete Wentz (emo, quere-looking dude from Fall Out Boy) getting mad and walking out of Spiderman 3 becuase he claims they were making fun of his emo look? Hahaha! Noob.
