Lookie, lookie!
I've been very full of creative energies and such as of late. Unfortunately, I have also been full of A.D.D.

Because of this, very few of my big crafts I started this break have been finished, but I managed to hunker down and finish this project.

Which project is that, you ask?



So, I went to Wal*Mart the other day, and picked myself up a toy.



I haven't owned a NERF gun in ages. The last NERF toy I had was the crappy Slingshot.

This beaut cost me a whopping 8 bucks. It's a 6-shot revolver. If you pull the trigger without cocking it, the barrel spins. Oh boy oh boy!


And this is what it's insides look like! ^_^


So, there was one thing I didn't like about the design of the gun. There were 2 little bits of plastic that kept the barrel from falling out all the way, thus keeping me from playing Russian Roulette for Kidz.

...so I removed them.


They used to be in the vicinity of the red circles. Methods of removal included hot knife, nail clipper, pliers, and sandpaper.

What difference does this make, you say?

This difference:



So, although I don't hate the NERF colors, I think that it would look better a little more realistic.

I primed it with flat black Krylon Fusion spraypaint.


Then I drybrushed it with Gold Testor's paint.

And I managed to weasel my face into a few of the pics....


Enjoy, and tell me what you guys think!
