This is probably the wrong section, but hey.This site has definitely changed since I was last here... Really glad to see the Nerf community is still going strong! I think it's been since the release of the raider that I've left. Got sucked into airsoft with the rest of my youth group, and my $400 gun now keeps me into it. Yep, I went to the dark side. My old guns (well, I guess now it's just singular gun) is still in use though, my 4B is used as a method to kill spiders that are in inaccessible places like behind my dresser, hooray 10" PETG barrel and longshot darts. Sheesh, I can;t even remember their names! Anywho, again I am glad you guys are still kicking!

Love you too, OMC, Since I seem to recall being banned at your hands a couple of times, hahaha. Oh, the nostalgia.

Sorry for the bandwidth I just used, I just wanted to drop in and see how things were going, since this was my only nerf account still active, Foam Universe deleted me

Here's the pics, the first is the sword before I placed the wood into the half inch hole and used a hammer to get it in. In the second the wood should be visible, it is 2 halves of a wooden sheet, because that's what i had in the basement, since I was unable to go to menards due to the shitty weather. More than likely you will have to sand down the wood to make it fit, or cheat and use a dremel like I did. And make sure you wear a mask, I forgot that, and I probably need to get checked for lung damage now. The last pic just shows the final product as I was holding it in place for the glue to dry.







The Thunderfury sheaths are rather simple to make. You can use any sort of paper, such as notebook paper, newspaper, or some pages from a magazine. I chose the magazine pages, as they seemed more sturdy to me. What you do is rather simple. You take a sheet of paper and wrap it up like so:

Tape the paper at both ends, and in the middle like so:

Then place it on the sword to check if the fit is right for the sheath.

You then repeat this process several times, and add several layers for sturdiness. You will have to tape the lip of the sheath, as in the part where the sword enters the sheath. Then when you are done you just wrap it in any other sturdy thing you may have, such as thin sheets of cardboard. The halfway product should look like this:

If you can't tell what the components are by the video, you fail. Even so, it's just a 3k tank with a MS pump attached to a BBB handle and held in place with a piece of PVC.

Just thought that was kind of cool.
