This one looks wicked so far, well done! I'd like to know more about your rifle though, where'd it come from?

how did you paint the rifle? i have similar guns, and was wondering if you had any tips on how to paint it.
Its a Nerft N-Strike Longshot CS-6, and I got it from Target.
As for the 'how' i painted it up like that.. its a lengthy explanation. I can list all the steps here if you'd like. Overall it was just time consuming.
And tips..
1) Painters Tape Is Your Friend, especialy if you do like i did and use multiple colors.
2) Take your time and properly sand off any logos (i hand sanded all mine off, i didnt want to get 'dremel happy' and end up with dips or holes),
3) Rub the whole thing down with denatured alcohol to get any clinging particles off, then do it again to make sure, and prime it with a good primer.
4) If the gun itself has little details.. take the extra time to do something to bring them out a little bit, a bit of color on obscure areas can do wonders.
5) Greeblies are fun things to add if you've got some laying around. The bottom barrel of the front part of my longshot has a pair of spacers and the top cap from the inside of an old hard drive
6) Above all else.. TAKE YOUR TIME and have fun doing it :cheers

Awesome, thanks alot! Im thinking of scratchbuilding mine but I do like that Longshot!
Just to add, I've been looking at the Nerf guns. My god their not cheap anymore for what they are are they? Still, I did see some that I liked, the Recon blaster was pretty cool.

Maine Military.com had some on clearance when i got them. I dont know if they still have them on clearance though. Picked them up for 5 bucks a piece
. If they dont though, just search for Russian gas mask hose

Updates ! Got the visor mounted (sorta) and the weathering pretty much all taken care of. The angle of the sun kinda drowns out some of the carbon dust/blackwash, but just imagine most of those shots with about 10-20% more grimeyness and you'll get the picture. Dont mind pic #3.. as i said earlier, i havent quite got the visor pinned down fully yet. Them mandibles are giving me LOADS of trouble *grumbles*

Relly nice! The colors are great and the weathing is subtle ad believable! I likey 
Thank's for the comments guys. They mean alot. I tried to keep things simple. I've noticed that when i try to get extravagant things dont turn out the way they should. Next up is to remove the visor, do a smidge bit more weathering (touching up mainly), then spray it down with a matte-finishing spray. Then its time to figure out how to get the visor and mandibles to play nicely.

that helmet is simply amazing! is there a thread for it!?
I used a visor from T-Visor.com It took a little hacking and some rather inventive glueing to get that thing in there due to the lip of the mandibles and around the rest of the T. But.. its in there now and it wont be going anywhere anytime soon lol.
No dedicated thread on my behalf. This is the only thread i've got here dedicated to this armor.
If you want the thread for the helmet, look around for Marrow Sun's custom helmet threads.
