Customized Steampunk Nerf Guns - Part 2

In a previous post, I mentioned customizing Nerf Guns to give them a "steampunk" appearance. Well, on another trip to the junk store, I picked up a Ruff Stuff Air Blasters Tek 10 for a couple of dollars. So I decided to give it a make-over (honestly anything would look better than the bumble bee-esque coloring that the gun originally came with).

Because of the shape of this gun, I chose a color scheme rather similar to the Nerf Maverick I had customized before.

The Tek 10 was repainted in brass, copper, and satin black with decorative gilded accents on the cocking mechanism and the handle to give it a more regal appearance.

So without any further ado, I'd like to present the latest from Professor Finneas Wiley's Curiosities & Contraptions.

The "Equalizer"


As with the other guns, I have posted it for sale on eBay. When the auction is over, I will update this post with a bit of information on how it went. Feel free to check it out at the link below.

The "Equalizer" Opening bid $9.99

**Update**
The Equalizer sold on eBay for a quite a bit more than I expected. The price tripled in the last 2 minutes of the auction which was kind of cool. I didn't get as many watchers or visitors, but it still went well. Maybe I've got something going with this idea.

Be sure to check out Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5 of the Customized Steampunk Nerf Guns for more customized Nerf Guns and Dihydrogen Monoxide Blasters.

  3. If you are planning to mass produce the idea (i.e. an idea for a consumer product, book, or vehicle I've designed), I would like a working finished copy of the concept upon it's completion as well as a small negotiable royalty fee.

The Organization of The Site

As with most ideas I come up with, this site is still in an ever-changing state of flux. My organizational skills are a bit of a mess, so this site may look like a bomb exploded in the menu or be so anal retentively organized that navigation is a chore. Please bear with me. I'm still working on the best way to group ideas to make the site as user friendly as possible.


If you like the site and/or are feeling generous, I humbly accept donations.
