    Why not? I was doing this for a friend so I figured: Would Antares want to see?
    I thought you guys would so here you go - the first step I have taken into Nerf customization.

    Firstly, this is a Nerf Retaliator with included stock, barrel extension and 12-mag. Might repaint some other attachments if this becomes a thing...
    So yes. First thing I did was disassemble it to preserve the mechanisms - I still want this to be usable when it's done!
    Next, I sanded down the logos and bullcrap on the sides to give a greater space for some designs using school's belt-sander.
    I then doused the pieces in GW Chaos Black paint as a base.

    Currently waiting on this to dry. I'll get some drybrushing, detailing and other things done tomorrow...

    Let me know what ya think, and don't expect anything of godly skill, I am at best mediocre.

    Going for a tentacle and eye pattern across the whole. Just a couple more touchrs to this and then it's the stock!

    So I post unfinished pics to compensate for this thread's inactivity.
    First up, progress on the stock:

    Some work on the clip:

    The barrel has had some weathering and detailing done - kill markings ftw:

    And a video would go here, if I knew how to put one in.
