Chris is such an underrated youtuber. With stuff like this he deserves at least 1 mill

[@CCWiz67]

ErickTheBadass honestly that is so true

[@holyflame2]

ErickTheBadass Be patient my young grasshopper, soon Chris's awesomeness will shine brighter then ever before.

[@samharbour7566]

ErickTheBadass so true

[@samharbour7566]

ErickTheBadass so true

[@samharbour7566]

ErickTheBadass so true

[@w4kii]

looks like something out of borderlands

[@Willqer]

It apperently is the case with the nerf guns. Everytime i see video where someone redesigns nerf gun ot ends up being borderlands-ish/destiny-ish or other sci fi game with rust and/or comic vibe.

[@georgiasmith1910]

Willqer because they are designed to not look like real steel, space guns is what's left

[@GigiScorcia]

Now I want to re-play them

[@batedflounder47sox66]

I have respect to you for this observation

[@porkchopnews]

It looks like destiny mixed with borderlands

[@CosplayChris]

Enjoy, Geeks! Have yourselves an amazing weekend :)

[@ericksaracho]

Cosplay Chris saludos desde México (greetings from Mexico)

[@sgrshnshw]

you too m8!

[@mr.nobody5669]

are you going to customize some of the Jakks pacific justice league big figs they look good but you...well you can make them look AWESOME

[@Lubble-]

Cosplay Chris Chris could you do a playlist of all your custom pimping out stuff

[@alphaghoul6842]

Cosplay Chris hey : )

[@bigchooch4434]

Small note: for a cheaper version of the latex masking, use mustard.

[@ashenone6166]

Ryan Moulder really?

[@FamineStudios]

AshenOne61 6 yeah, yellow mustard or toothpaste!!

[@Lekurus]

@@FamineStudios Yeah toothpaste is even better, because it drys quicker

[@reecevince2166]

Just had a job interview the manager Watches you 😂😂

[@jackguest145]

How did that topic come up

[@whitepointstarproductions8905]

Challenge for Chris: make something without weathering it

[@blakeschmitz972]

He'd go mad

[@crusty.kamikaze]

WhitePointStar Productions No driveway dirt either

[@whitepointstarproductions8905]

Not Safe For Work Gaming And no #mybuddymiles

[@CCWiz67]

WhitePointStar Productions that is an impossible task

[@DunDudeBossman]

And no resin

[@Hunter-we2hj]

It kinda reminds me of Ana's rifle from Overwatch. Great work Chris!

[@MikeyFraz1]

One of (in my opinion) your best builds and certainly one of my favorites! You’re a champ, Chris!

[@Nada-fj8ij]

This gives me serious vibes of the weapons from borderlands 1, and makes me wanna do some custom collectibles of my own

[@martinwhipkey9343]

Had to come back to this video...simple amazing, Chris! No wonder you made these for the pros- beautiful final product!

[@cjfedler327]

Love the video chris, and a great looking prop. but my advice if you ever intend to paint a nerf gun and keep in opperable(as you said you wanted to do) then there are 2 key steps that really will help keep everything both working and looking great. 1) you need to sand down the entire blaster. if you don't, then if you take it out to play with it, the paint(even with the prier) loves to come off the plastic. And 2) you should really take the blaster apart before painting it. doing so will make sure do paint or shoe polish accidentally gets into the inner workings and gums it up. i learned both of those lessons the hard way doing my own paint jobs. I hope this helps, and once again, great video!!!

[@FrigginBoomToys]

Man the pleather wrap is so satisfying. I love wrapping stuff in pleather

[@tobinchaffin4120]

"Weathering to these numbers" *POINTS AT LETTERS*

[@haarisahmed12]

reminds me of Adam Savage's tested video where he made his own custom nerf rifle. Great stuff Chris!

[@childintime9121]

Chris could honestly make a movie with his props

[@jackguest145]

I always love when you do completely original pieces instead of replicas

[@DarthDregan]

Another awesome piece Chris. Wow. Again, shoe polish is a unique tool to age anything. Awesome.

[@lkhamilto]

That final reveal... Blew me away. Truly beautiful

[@LoveLife-xy9ir]

hey Chris, this is great but doesnt the shoe polish leave a strong odour after? and would it be orite to put a clear coat over it mate? I was thinking getting the specific oil acrylic paint for weathering. ... I picked up 2 of these Nerfs as soon as I saw youre vid a few weeks back. Thanks. I love scifi.

[@lkkpov]

I literally ordered this last night and have been wondering how it would look customized. Nice!

[@eamonism4676]

Cheap way to do the latex, use toothpaste. Paint over the top of it and wash it off when the paint is dry. Toothpaste will wash away and leave you with the same effect. Also, this looks real nice. Dunno about the rust though, anyone who would go to the trouble to customize their gun would probably keep it relatively clean.

[@tobinchaffin4120]

Him pulling the tape up was soooooo satisfying

[@lego6884]

Hi Chris, im trying to customize a nerf gun but i seem to be having difficult with the nerf gun taking the spray paint on to dry? do i prep the gun by sanding it down or do i use a grey primer?

[@rbjr208]

What size PVC pipe did you use for the barrel? Also, did you need to secure it yourself (and if so, how?), or did it fit tight enough you didn't need to worry about that?

[@matarese2868]

I Absolutely love your prop makeovers!

[@MrWifi213]

Amazing, think I may have a go at this one. Starting the bat signal light tonight. Thanks for the Inspiration.

[@thegoodmayo]

The background looks like tarmac with double yellow lines. 'Do not park your Nerf gun on this display board!'

[@shoalindiciple]

absolutely awesome. I learn a lot of great stuff from you man. keep up the sick work.

[@WhosNathaniel]

A must in a Chris' custom collectables is WEATHERING!!!!

[@adysmith3138]

Hey Chris. You could use a course sponge to apply the latex. It would give a mutch finer chipping pattern. Great video as always.

[@Buldre]

Beautiful just beautiful!

[@pvanny]

I never get tired of the background music

[@JDsThatGuy]

Wooow what a dope transformation, so cool!

[@SNO3R]

might just be my favorite, looks really cool

[@bradleyau8628]

DUDE! Nice job! It looks amazing!!

[@tronosneoauror]

What's the orange thing/paint color you used to weather the edges of the board almost at the end?

[@blakeschmitz972]

Daredevil, Green Arrow, or Green Lantern cosplay??? 🤔🤔🤔

[@Wixhael]

Ace Breao that would be awesome! Personally, I'd want a Daredevil cosplay most, but all of those sound great!

[@dognut8080]

Green Arrow for sure. Its not too hard or complicated but very iconic at the same time. Plus, he could pull off the Stephen Amell hairstyle easily.

[@volcom19100]

If he were to do a Green Arrow cosplay, a non-Stephen Amell GA would be better.

[@masonight4443]

16:43 Scared the shit outta me

[@mrmadduck9631]

What was scary about it

[@beanieteamie7435]

Rip headset users

[@ww1576]

Lol what

[@toastd.8863]

Love the custom looks amazing I don't know how you do this God like paint jobs you make it look so easy

[@danielbird5740]

Such an awesome job. Looks great

[@TheFabioOrchedella]

2:57 ive been waiting to hear that music again for a long time

[@CJ_Scotland.]

This is awesome!! Amazing job.

[@rbjr208]

Did anyone else think of The Mandalorian when he mentioned it being in the desert? :D Amazing paint job, dude. I'm going to be picking up an Alpha Hawk tomorrow, and I plan to upgrade and paint it. This video certainly gave me ideas.

[@snowontheweb]

Holy shit Chris! You have got some amazing talent my friend! Keep up the phenomenal work!!

[@bythegodsofsciencefiction938]

awsome review the gun looks amazing keep up great videos

[@AidanMcGreenie]

Such borderlands. Very cool.

[@chubby3863]

I just started watching you and your work is amazing bro. keep up the good work 😊

[@Nubfist]

I was waiting for him to say something Aussie. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber!

[@Delvis1823]

Woah is that hoodie for a spiderman homecoming cosplay?

[@funnytoyvideos]

No. He stated in one of his previous videos that it was supposed to be for his Red Hood cosplay, but it was too small or something like that.

[@henriquesilva966]

funnytoyvideos He said it just didn't go well with the rest of the suit

[@blakeschmitz972]

That'd work though

[@danielhenry1485]

It might have worked if it was a darker red, I can see why that shade wouldn't work

[@funnytoyvideos]

Henrique Silva Yeah, that’s it.

[@TheBigRedZ71]

Nice work on that buddy. Came out really nice.

[@SuperDoctor9]

I haven't been this early to one of your videos in ages Chris! Love your videos, keep up the great work

[@kaiderobertson3907]

You know it's a good prop when he whips out the shoe polish

[@earldick6298]

Phenomenal work. Just came here by chance looking for pimping nerf vids. Time well spent. Don't have chops to do it at this level. But it's inspired me to do a Guardians of the Galaxy Ravager custom with ravager seal.

[@skugan09]

Once again, great job!

[@sike3000]

im planning on modifying and paiting a nerf gun to look like captain colds cold gun, would you say its best to paint first then dissemble and install LEDs, or other way around? thanks in advance.

[@henriquesilva966]

sike3000 I'd say either would work. But I'd recommend LED's first. And be sure to cover them when painting

[@209_sins]

excellent tutorial / I am startibng my first project for Halloween with a crap airsoft gun.. this is a solid video to get the look i need.. thank u

[@LoneWolfe775]

That was fuck'n awesome! You never disappoint! One day I'll try this out for myself, that whole wall mount frame is just amazing!

[@sporadicamnesic]

That looks pretty fucking awesome! Almost Nightmare Batfleck meets Starship Troopers meets Halo

[@rosendomunoz3872]

2:47 "We can get into the really juicy fin stuff" - Chris, 2017

[@Hazardous_Content]

Dude that’s the cool3st looking display I’ve ever seen

[@richardcoleman3425]

This is brilliant! You're a huge talent, and a great inspiration. Thank you for sharing. Be safe, Dude. :)

[@GwenShep]

I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with the gun or the display lol I really love how the display board turned out well done!

[@mcslrtzquicklebrym2nd860]

Is it okay if you cover the holes and the trigger with tape, and just spray it? So you don't have to remove the parts?

[@Serapis2798]

McSlrtz Quicklebrym 2nd Not really, its very hard to mask triggers and slides.

[@oxide0186]

With the apocalyptic mood and look of the overall gun and background, it looks like the wattz laser rifle mod from fallout 4, it's pretty cool well done!

[@maikymadnesskreation8646]

What is the measure of the pvc? where I can get a barrel and with the correct measure?

[@wwt17]

Dang, you make some wicked cool stuff!!!

[@DrakeDarkWolffe]

Dude that's so badass!!!

[@Howard_T_Duck]

Amazing dude, I will definitely be doing this one

[@jmasonrcingabout273]

absalutely love your work. it was you that enspired me to do the same with star wars figures, like K2SO and the storm trooper (first order) What I would love to see is you making someting from scratch, out of nothing more than , a bit of string a few popsikle sticks and a used toilet roll... With (obviously hot glue) BUT NOTHING ELSE. PS thank you for all the kick ass vids and ideas.

[@r2dnel]

When are you getting the NECA Michaelangelo? Lol my OCD kicks into overdrive just seeing the three there lol. Great vids, love your work.

[@kylieneighbour770]

Honestly one of my favs

[@thagirion218]

Dude, you should do a Borderlands inspired nerf gun!

[@Dontwantto1000]

I know this is a late comment but I was looking at what you did to this gun and had a though, It might not be that hard to make it look like soldier 76's rifle from Over-watch. Is there any way you can do video on that?

[@travisty007]

Awesome mate, well done. You are pretty impressive.

[@katrinaokeefe6449]

Awesome job Chris awesome buff said

[@danielmcquade4005]

Jesus, you've done it once again, amazing me and others as usual, congrats

[@SabrinaOlivera]

Oh my god! This is so mesmerizing

[@waithereivegonetogethelp3240]

The trouble with using latex is that it ruins the brush, but I've found that rubber tipped artists brushes work fantastically and the latex comes straight off with no effort. Failing that, mustard or toothpaste are brilliant alternatives to latex that clean up easily.

[@maltizerr7898]

This is so cool

[@jamessantiago-king5515]

Enjoy your videos so much hope to one day be able to buy something you build love all your builds

[@thommothommo1520]

Another great job from the Master.

[@speedygonzales6417]

do u actually use the or nerf wars or just kooks,or do u sell them instead?...

[@albertstons8936]

Instead of shoe polish can I use black paint and water?

[@JoseGonzalez-mo9om]

I got some tips sand down the blaster completely until it gets chalky and also take open the gun for you can make the paint more even

[@kumquatmonkeyfun1940]

what primer do you use?

[@zeusdog2763]

I absolutely loved this and the apocalyptic storm trooper helmet, could you do some more stuff kind of like those two things but add a steampunk vibe, that would be amazing

[@anthonybanjak1000]

Can't wait for that red hood vid. And that gun looks kickass.

[@youtubeunsahibi]

Can you do the same for the nerf zombie strike: slingfire PLEASEEEE

[@NoLawN64]

Cosplay Chris! You inspired me to try and make my own Custom Nerf Gun. Im having some trouble finding brush on rubber latex. Can you recommend anything else I could use instead to create that chipping paint effect??? I was thinking of going the route of using play dough or rubber cement.

[@diamondproductions2]

Toothpaste

[@TheDoktar]

Nice build buddy .

[@RAPTUR3WO1F18]

Yesssss I'm new to the channel and I been watching all your vids now I get to see a new one 😃 words can't describe meh emotions

[@MrRambaaaa]

I really like the latex idea!! I use toothpaste for scratch marks and then remove it with a wet sponge, it's a bit of a cheaper solution. But great idea 😊

[@AceOutlawCustoms]

Holy crap that volume change at 16:43 scared me.

[@doglikestitch5015]

looks straight outta the mandalorian

[@Chris_Corcoran]

You should try the hairspray technique for doing chipping too

[@wesleywright3051]

Love your stuff its so cool

[@joshuaday5241]

This was awesome

[@richr115]

Wow...awesome work. Would love to see you replicate some popular gaming items. This would fit right in with the Borderlands series.

[@TobyWild]

Chris, you can just use toothpaste instead of latex for the "chipped paint" look.

[@jeffvi182]

You're awesome bro. Keep up the good work 👍
