Nerf Rebelle Pink Crush Into Cyberpunk Handgun

Im just gonna casually document the process of making a Nerf Rebelle blaster into a sci-fi cyberpunk-ish handgun. Now, the stuff we need for this project is:

1- Nerf Rebelle Pink Crush (in photo) or any other blaster

2- Tools;- screw driver, pliers, etc

3- Masking tape

4- Sand paper

5- Spray paint;- flat black, chrome silver, red

First step. You need to carefully disassemble the gun. Keep all the screws and small parts in a container. You dont want to lose any of those. Take photos for reference in case you forget which part goes where.

Sand down any surface of the shell. Remove the logos and warning text if you desire, which i did.

After that, i wash the shells with soap and dry them properly.

The base coat i used is flat black.
Next i sprayed the body with chrome silver. Since the body and grip can be detached, it makes it easier to spray without masking.

Reassemble the internals of the blaster according to the previously taken photo.
I sawed off the back of the priming rod because its not cool. I used a tiny screw and a square nut which i found in my tool box. That will do for the time being.

Next, i wanted a strip of red on the groove to make it look CP.

Using masking tape, i masked out the parts which i didnt wanna get the red on. Easy.

I also found a bigger hex nut that fits perfectly on the back of the priming rod.

Added some weathering all over except for the grip, which i pretend its some sorta futuristic scratch proof polymer finishing.

Using some permanent marker, i scribbled some katakana on it, because nothing says cyberpunk like some scribbled japanese character. LOL

So there... its done. Now i need a trench coat, mirror shades and a cybernetic arm.
