MODS:
-AR/Barrel Post removal
-Spring upgrade (added maverick spring)
-shell modification to accept 9v battery + rewire

PAINT:
-Flat Black Vinyl Dye base
-Rustoleum Satin Blue
-Krylon Shortcuts Chrome drybrushed
-tiny accents of green glow-in-the-dark acrylic paint by FolkArt
-Rustoleum Satin Enamel clear

Mods: added spacer to the spring for better compression and pulled out the AR system, plugging up the lower barrel to single the blaster. Considering I was barely getting 25 feet of range out of the lower barrel, it's not much of a loss.

Stryfle. Simple. Cheap. Easy. Effective.

[Duke Wintermaul]

A personal Stryfe!

Sorry about the links, still trying to get the hang of forum posting and I can't tell if it worked

New Paint, and an article on how to do one yourself.

1st Gen. Panther.

Diamond Carbon Fiber, rubberized grips, pink and periwinkle accents.

Tank just has a 1/2" coupler welded on, and in it is a 1/2"cpvc slide breech.

[Keeper0fwar]

Very basic old-school mod, but still a pretty effective one.







The base coat is a black Rust-Oleum enamel. the purple on the blaster is a Citadel Liche Purple, and the dry brushing is a Citadel Adeptus Battlegrey.

Pretty simple mods, spring upgrade, and AR removal. Hitting about fifty feet flat.

Sup guys,

It's good to be browse these forums again after a long hiatus. I've shifted all my learning efforts over to the automotive world after putting a pause on my Nerf modding, but I forgot to share my old cubicle photos from work:







The mounts are all custom made from cardboard and T-shaped pushpins

For those that care about what my mods look like nowadays:



After wiring it up along with a new fuel pump and relay, I'll be throwing in a centrifugal supercharger--should be a fun learning experience, just like Nerf!

I"ll be back someday, my friends.

Still waiting on some XT60 battery connectors, but this is a quick shot the night I put it together.

Desert Digital Camo, rubberized grips, Falcon 130 motors, 2s 20c Lipo, mini voltmeter.

Another one coming soon, Fatigue Digital Camo.



Desert is on the left, Fatigue on the right.

Couplered Panther I did awhile back before A ) they went to shit and B ) my pump handle broke. Haven't fixed it yet, but I'll get to it.

MOVED TO PJs THREAD, THIS IS NOT A WRITEUP



I've posted this elsewhere, but I'll go into more detail here for anyone looking to try similar things. There's nothing revolutionary here, but It came out looking very clean. I really should have taken more pictures during the modding process, but there's tons of guides for wiring out there, and I didn't do anything special.

Blaster before drybrushing:



That red is soooo glossy.

Sprayed 2 coats of flat clearcoat on it after drybrushing and detailing:




The red looked great at this point, but the copper was too dull, so I went at it with some glossy clear:



Much better. Time for a little internal work. I built a battery bay out of some plastic composite stuff I got from a salvage place nearby:



Finished my wiring, did some sanding on anything that felt the slightest bit rough and makes contact with moving points using 1000 grit sandpaper. I used White Lithium grease to make sure everything slides well. Sealed it up and test fires like a dream. I don't have foam build up yet, so I wont bother chrono'ing it. I've chrono'd this exact setup here (Note: the fresh elite darts were the camo ones, and I found out they have a negative impact on dart grip):

Lanard blast bazooka direct wye mod.

[racer188]

Decided to experiment with some 3M Di Noc I had laying around. Barrel was from an Elite Spectre







What is looks like on my modded Stryfe



May have to try a few more blasters now.

[ompa]

Three current works in progress:

Longstrike: Awaiting internals overhaul, I'll probably try to stick a Magnus (with upgraded spring) in there.

Cycloneshock: Awaiting internals reinforcement to accept new spring (probably not going to take much more than some epoxy support for the plunger head and a cut-out brass skeleton to support the outer plunger rod), and epoxy putty for slightly less ugly.

Magnus: Still awaiting a new spring, and epoxy putty to not make it look like a giant mess. kind of the red-headed step-child of the bunch since I have no freaking idea where I'm going with the blaster. It just kind of... happened. Also, I ran out of paint halfway through.

As for why they all look "dirty", frankly I don't always treat my blasters like fragile eggs, they get banged around sometimes. So I figured I might as well make them look used to begin with.

I was originally going to call this the "Longstryfe" but that name has since been used to describe a longshot with stryfe internals so I've dubbed mine the first ever "Stryfestrike"

Formal writeupf/overview video pending...

[TheNerfZilla]

My modded Sharpfire.

DSC00273 by TheNerfZilla, on Flickr

It has a 17/32 inside 9/16 brass breech. It fits elite darts very nicely.

DSC00268 by TheNerfZilla, on Flickr

DSC00269 by TheNerfZilla, on Flickr

It runs on an ACE #115 spring and a stock maverick spring.

DSC00275 by TheNerfZilla, on Flickr

It hits a conservative 80 feet flat with newish elites.
