I've learned a lot about integrations from your channel. I don't think I would have attempted my first integration without your examples. Thank you and I'm sure I'll keep getting better watching you.
Thank you for making all of your content, it really helped me actually grow and get better in integrations and actually thinking in a very different form. Rather than thinking like butting up two blasters but actually slowly taking time and shaving to have things slide together and actually have flowing lines! It is actually really interesting seeing different takes on things like your strayven and everything, and the jackal, it actually moved me to actually do the rayven grip on the stryfe and honestly it feels way more comfortable. Your content to me in the very least has been educational and advantageous, well at least as advantageous as cutting, and gluing plastic toys that shoot foam can be.
“Why is Mr Nathan the gosh darn nicest person in the hobby, and so talented too?” It was great showing you my manta’d double dealer integration at endwar this year, I wish we could have chatted a little longer. I’m always impressed by how you can take a blaster and then turn it into something entirely different. It’s kind of magical. As for input on the channel, I guess I don’t really have a preference. I think I like seeing the final overview videos of the finished integrations best. I still enjoy seeing some of the process of how it gets there, but it’s not quite as important to me.
There are those who call you the Bob Ross of the NERFing hobby...they're not wrong. You take the extra time to go through HOW you do things, and talk about the patience involved in integration projects. Most importantly: you never shout. You get excited, certainly, but it's always much more laid-back than most of the other NERFy RUclipsrs. I watch the Lord-Captain Xavier because his persona amuses me; Coop772 for the honest reviews of bone stock blasters; WalcomS7 because I just love watching the excitement on his face as he geeks out on things, even if it's not NERF-related. I watch you, on the other hand, because you take a much more relaxed approach to things. No rush, no panicking (except for that time you cut yourself while making a Centurion battery stock, and even that was only briefly), just...relaxing with the hobby. Really, I think the only thing I might want to see more of on your channel is seeing your handiwork actually flinging foam at events when you're done making them.
I love getting to chat with you at events and going back and forth online. What games we play... I think your Mod Along videos offer some of your most unique and creative insight. Plus, if they are just 20 minute segments of you doing modwork that you'd be doing anyway, shouldn't be too intensive on editing? (I'm sure there could still be hours of footage to sift through) And don't worry, you don't need to enter me into the giveaway. You know I wouldn't do anything with a blaster shell and I already have your patch! :)
I know it is a rather blanket answer but I have enjoyed all of your content. It has been a joy getting to know you through your videos. Your attitude towards and your appreciation/love for the community is an inspiration! I have also enjoyed and learnt a tonne from your videos. Your videos are what inspired me to do an integration as my 3rd ever mod and it wouldn't have been so successful had I not gleaned so many useful little tidbits from you. Every modding video has little moments where you think "Huh, wow, I never would have thought of that. Which means I can do this, this AND this!" You are most definitely and inspiration and I appreciate what you do! I don't care if I win anything but I enjoyed the excuse to tell you thank you for being you and doing what you do.
I’m incredibly impressed by your build process. Watching you choose what shapes you want to include in the blaster(s) and figure out how to get them from different blaster shells is so impressive. Then being able to watch the development process of fitting, adjusting, tweaking, and finalizing the shape before the integration and gap filling and smoothing is so cool to see. Your work is gorgeous and I’m blown away by every new build.
I absolutely love your integrations! I have no idea how you come up with the amazing designs, but I always love to see you both create them and paint them up in an awesome way!
From the very first video I saw of yours, i think it was the drop cylinder Strongarm video, you've been inspiring me with so many awesome integration ideas! There's been two times now where I've started an integration and then you show a video doing a very similar one (my Stryfly and the Hellhound, and my Centurion-Mastodon and Warthog), just a funny coincidence. You've helped me immensely with putty work and showing how to line up shells and shell lines, and I've learned a lot! I'll commonly put on the mod-along series or another one of your longer videos and just listen to you while I work on one of my projects. The tone of your voice and the way you explain things is really soothing and relaxing, and I enjoy listening to you! You're an awesome dude, keep on doing what you're doing!
I appreciate all the work that you have put into the wonderful blasters that you share with the community. It is also a great help that you take the time to explain your thoughts and methods that you put into your work. The awesomeness that you have produced has greatly improved all the integration and custom work in the hobby. Last, and certainly not least, I love how you speak to your audience as peers and you are never condescending.
I found the channel when Walcom made a video on the hellhound. I really like that you do integrations. I know that sounds dumb, but with kits and 3D printing integrations are really under appreciated now in the hobby. Keep up the great work!
You have been a breath of fresh air for this hobby as far as integration goes, the kind of stuff you do brings back memories of the kind of integrations we did back in the day prior to 3d printed parts. Would love to see you do some vintage blaster integrations. Also really enjoy your work with mega dart firing stuff, buff daddy and Mitch Essinger (no nonsense nerfing) have also done really cool work with mega firing stuff and I could only imagine what you 3 could come up with together in a collaboration. Looking forward to seeing your current long standing projects come to a close and new projects come to life.
I love seeing your update videos about projects you are working on. The first thing I saw from you was your hellhound on Walcom's channel. I first could not tell if it was an intervention. It looked like something Nerf came out with. Watching you work on some bone stock blasters that some wouldn't even use to something everyone would run is great! And the level of detail you go into about what your projects are is also wonderful. But by far the best part of your channel is... The Olivegaurden music.
i’ve only been around long enough from when walcom featured the hellhound on his channel that time you sent it to him but your channel has definitely been an inspiration for sure. i very much enjoy the fact that you’re just doing this because you love and enjoy it. you’re super down to earth and the fact that you share your struggles with ideas/builds is awesome as well. i think my favourite video(s) are the mod along/build logs just because i think it’s so cool to see your thought process through a build and some techniques as well. and when you feature some other people’s builds as well. definitely something i hope to see more of in the future! cheers!
I really love how you talk through the thought process on blending lines on combining shells. The older I get the broader my interests in making is and things like kitbashing always fascinated me but you were the first person that really showed me insight not just how to do it, but the mindset needed.
i really enjoys your build vlogs(reviews are also welcome, knowledge being power in all). What i enjoy from your build vlogs is getting see the techniques(ive used the xacto scoring on my own build) and thought process being put into what integration peaces go where and why(has given me allot of forethought into my own 3d design language blending and matching lines).
The video that got me to know about your channel and your work, and also the one that made me subscribe, was the Seamless Strayven integration. I love this mod so much. At the time I was fairly new to the hobby and wanted to do a strayven build so bad. But all the other modding videos did cut both shells of the rayven in the same right angle, which is good for the battery side of the stryfe but leaves the other side with such an ugly transition. I was sure there must be another way to do this and just as was going to try it out I found your video on it and it blew my mind. I remember sitting there saying to myself: 'Yes, this is how it should be done!' And with that inspiration I went of and build my first strayven similar to yours and I still love it. After watching more and more of your videos I came to enjoy your content more then other because it never feels rushed. You take so much time to think about lines and parts to integrate to get the best possible result. It inspired me because I mod kind of the same way. (which is why my big integrations take forever XD). I really enjoyed getting to talk to you about possible integrations and maybe shipping some blasters over here. Even though it never happened you tried hard to make it work and I appreciate you very much for that. I also value your opinion on my projects very much, so thank you for all the feedback and help. And on top of that, its like many other have posted here already, you are one of the most skilled and most kind modders in the community! Please keep it up and don't worry about content being more scare because of life things. After all your work is about quality not quantity! Love and sunshine, Rainbow
You are always so calm and in some way it helps me focus on what you are explaining, i built a strayven the way you made one and it was my first integration and i came out quite well for a first time. Keep it up! Btw, is this also for europe?
First introduced to this wonderful channel since Walcoms7 showed us the hellhound you made, but many cool ideas I’ve loved here. The conspiracy of rayvens, the jackel project and the General Mayhem rapidstrike has been my favorite project I’ve seen. Great to always see another vid from you :)
Bro, I love you and have always loved and looked forward to your content. I still plan to replicate your Jackal build for myself some day. Keep on Brother man!
also I loved/missed the mod along vids... when you were first getting into the channel you just posted vids of you doing and figuring things out... it always inspired me to start tinkering!
I love watching your channel, most of all the mod along episodes. I enjoy seeing your thought process, the building process, the mistakes, and the triumphs. Thanks Mister Nathan.
I love the content, all of it. Love the cosy fireside feel and the way you show us some of your failures and stuck projects and your calm but honest reviews.
When I first began taking interest in our hobby my primary portal was Coop, mostly for his reviews and some older content for modifications. I soon became familiar with Drac's work, as well as Out of Darts, and eventually Captain Xavier. Through these videos I learned a lot and began tuning and upgrading my blasters to be more powerful. Then I came across a video about a project called "Warlord", and the game immediately changed. It was the first time I had seen something quite like that; functional and artistic. I began browsing your video catalogue and found many other gems of inspiration. I have since begun to delve into the world of integrations and endeavor to make something truly unique (though I still have a long way to go). Your custom projects inspire me to look at this hobby in a different way and to step out of my comfort zone for a challenge. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
The way you can break down blasters and figured out how to add pieces together to come up with a whole new look and feel just blows me away. I've used several of your methods to come up with my own builds and owe it to you. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing everything with us. The only thing I would like to see is MORE content...lol. but I understand life gets in the way.
I might sound like a bit of an echo here but I've enjoyed all of the content that you have put out over the years. I first found your channel like most from Walcom when he did the video on the hellhound. At the time I was blown away by the how sleek and clean the blaster integration was. (I still am) I decided to check out your channel and I've been here since, I can say without a doubt that you are one of the most positive and down to earth people in the hobby that I've seen. Also I can't wait to see what what you have in store for us.
I started following you when Walcom featured your hellhound (I believe that was the name, my memory isn't the best) but I love your integration work and I like to see your technique and I want to start doing integration work of my own and I hope to be able to use your work as inspiration
I think that the way you treat your dog is fantastic, especially when he gets in the way and you “break character” and give attention when it is asked for, not all dog owners are like that.
I just enjoy listening to you talk about different things, going over your thoughts. You approach subjects very honestly but without trying to make it flashy and hyped. I just enjoy a calm and pleasant talk through. Also sometimes we see the puppy and that's just always a highlight! (I'm officially passing on first place - a patch would be lovely but someone else would make much better use of the swordfish than I lol)
5k already? I can still remember when I first started watching you after walcoms video on your work and it was around 1k and was using my old account. Welp time flys. Now where do I even begin on what I enjoy i guess I’ll start with things like the slow pace of the mod along where we get to see the thought process behind everything. I also love the calm relaxed vibe you videos have. I also enjoy these chair videos telling us your thoughts, it’s inspiring to see how everything looks so different from the original thing. I also love how nice you are! In general I think your pretty much doing everything well. watching your videos is a great way to unwind and get some inspiration. I can’t wait to see what your future holds!
The best part of this channel is how relaxed it is. So many RUclipsrs share opinions on builds or the “right way” to do things. I love how you get excited for any idea and if you aren’t sure it’s a good idea you try and help. Seeing a notification from your channel means I get to relax and project some that night.
I love seeing all your integrations and paint jobs I also really enjoy your primary blaster I am talking about that modified stryfe with a centurion stock and cool front end
My favorite part of your channel has to be thr mod along series. The reason is because with the way you film it we get insight into how and why you use certain pieces.
I have to say, my favorite mod you've done has to be the secret santa pistol, something about the aesthetics of that one really get me. I love seeing some people actually doing integrations on a pistol scale like that, since there are tons of people doing good larger mods, but not many smaller blasters. In general I always feel like your mods are the cleanest and have the best lines, whenever I'm looking for inspiration you're certainly one of my go-to places to get mod ideas!
I love to hear you speak, You do have a great voice. I often put on one of your Longer videos as background as i Mod. I also appreciate the detail in your mods and seeing how you analyze a shell and add or subtract to get the lines or shape you want.
All of your blasters are works of art, and you always seem to think about the things that you do, which seems to be going out of style on youtube. Thanks for the great content!
The thing I like about your channel is you. After meeting you at endwar and seeing you walk around nervously looking and talking to people and their stuff, it was clear you are you. You don't have a presonality for your channel and are a genuine and kind person. As nervous as I was having you look at my stuff for the first time I never felt like I was being judged or compared to any one (it put my ego at ease but not my nerves, after all you do INCREDIBLE work LoL). I'm glad you, your family, and your dog are part of this community.
I've been watching for a long time, round about when walcom featured I think it was the hellhound. Love your eye for integrations, I could watch those all day. Plus the tone of your voice and choice of background music is therapeutically calming for me.
I really enjoy when you share new ideas/concepts, like when you shorten firefly stocks, or the centurion batter hiding thing. It is really cool that you can come up with brand new ideas, but more importantly share them with easy guides for the community to follow!! Also, the mod along series is really cool, and more times than I can count, have made me want to build a blaster the exact same way. Maybe one day I’ll get around to it
What I like most about your video is how different they are from other. You have great personal level Demeanor. And your videos are peaceful because of how com, collective, and soft spoken you which is a change in pace from most of the material out there. Also would love to see some more in depth videos on your moded blaster, which from what I have seen so far the mods look really cool and interesting. Keep up the great content.
I like how you talk calmly and speak clearly so i can understand and also I like how your voice is nice and soothing and that could just make a person stay calm watching your videos. In the future when you do mods I would like to see some firing demos when you finish the mod.
You've truly been a huge inspiration to me in my modding career. Your videos are relaxing to listen to, and have useful content that is very helpful when I feel I'm in a pickle. Your Stampede metal gear set review has probably helped me the most in my current project, and I can't thank you enough for what you do. Your engagement with myself and other modders on Instagram as well makes me very happy to have you in the foam flinging community.
It's great to know even if I dont have the time now to work on the mods and builds I dream of, I always have your channel to come back to as an unmatched resource with your mod along series. Also love any one of these sit down and talk vids while you dog just wants all the pets. Looking forward to any thing you are able to put out next.
I also love this channel. I appreciate you constantly rethinking and tinkering. Talking through your process also helps me feel more confident in starting mods myself. Additional ways that you are similar to Bob Ross is your soothing voice and background music.
Mister Nathan, I've been a subscriber since the Hellhound appeared on Walcom's channel. Your work with integrations and shell work is nothing short of incredible. I really enjoy watching your mod along series, and I love listening to your livestreams when I'm doing homework or something. I think my favorite part of your channel might be the music in the background. That plus the general tone of your voice and speaking style makes you very nice to listen to. Thank so much for what you do for the hobby. I would really like to see some gameplay in the Arena if that were an option, it seems like a really interesting venue and I would like to see how you have it set up in case I were able to build a similar space in the future. Plus I would like to see your Atlas loadout in action, if you still use it.
I first found your channel after buying a Kronos, and looking for a good video to walk me through the 6-shot mod. I asked you a question, which you answered pretty quickly, which was awesome. I watched some of your mod-along stuff which I think will be awesome reference information to have in the future because I want to do a large scale custom modded blaster at some point. What really earned my subscription though was your attitude about everything. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your approach to everything. We're all just here to have fun, so have fun, and make sure everyone else has fun too. And your videos clearly all stem from that same place, where you like making neat fun things, and you want to help everyone else who is interested do the same. As Drac says, the rising tide lifts all ships, and you are doing your best to raise the tide. Thank you for all your videos, and I look forward to more from you.
I remember hearing about your channel a while back from a MTB podcast, but I didn't really understand the concepts until a while later when I was older. It was when I saw the video where you talked with Searingpheonix about his Huginn's Claw build a few months back that really made me realize how cool your channel and similar ones really were, before that I never really payed much mind to integrations other than seeing yet another basic strayven now and then. I feel like my favorite thing about your work on not just the channel but the hobby in general is the creative spark in it. There are a lot of people who can 3D print parts to modify and create new blasters in unique and interesting ways, but I've come to believe that its another thing entirely to look at multiple fully finished blasters and see something that wasn't designed behind company doors, and it isn't something I see done so well on really any other channel. All in all, I hope to see you take things in new directions and hopefully inspire other people to do the same. After all when it seems like all the ideas are used up, its channels and modders like you that post something and make people realize "Oh yeah, I guess we aren't done with this idea yet". Good luck to your future endeavors, and hear is hoping you continue to find enjoyment in this hobby and continue to innovate, helping to inspire it to grow further.
I don't need to be entered in to the contest but I LOVE your work and enthusiasm. You are the Bob Ross of Nerf. And if you ever wanted to part with Devil's Hand...well...Please let me know...
Let me take this opportunity to say that if not for this channel i wouldve never gone ahead with my first integration. Ive been modding along with the stryfe centurion integration vids. The one thing i appreciate is that I can occasionaly get an answer to a question on here. And you have helped me directly during the build as well. That is huge for me since there isnt much of a scene out here and not many i can go to for advice/help. Not interested in the swordfish and just wanted to comment. Thanks for being a great resource, i know first hand its difficult to record and mod because it just takes so much more work. So just thanks for all of it.
I have been here since Walcom showed us the Hellhound but I came here thinking a lot of cool integrations and it did Even though your channel is small I love it, it has always made me think of trying to mod something even though I’m still doing hobbies at once Sincerly, Marc G/Metanoba
I've really enjoyed yuh our channel and learning from it. I like the way you show, explain and think out of the box for your mods, such as using the PVC pipe on the centauride mod. I'm cu6working on my first integration and frequently refer to your content for help, thank you for that. Keep it up.
Your content has always been great. It's always good to see new blasters being made from parts I'd usually toss aside. The ways you integrate things have always made me rethink possible future integration work and I'm always on the hunt for fresh ideas. The only downside is being so indecisive with what I want to do next, but I'd rather have too many ideas than not enough.
Personally, the mod-alongs are what have kept me watching the channel, I have really enjoyed watching the progress on projects such as the jackal and the yellowjacket the best. Seeing inside how you go about the process of creating functional works of art are inspiring and help me look at not only the hobby, but just everyday in general, in a different light than what i would normally.
You know I've been into modding for a while now and follow alot of people on RUclips. But the thing that I would say drags people to your channel the most is how laid back you are, and how you take the time to make things look amazing. I know everytime I flip on one of your videos I'm learning something. Also congrats on 5k Subs
I enjoy your mod along/build logs. I've picked up a few ideas, for my other hobby, which is prop-making. Prop-making and nerf have a lot of crossover. Also, any video with your dog id a win. Your dog is brilliant!
I've always been really impressed by the concept of integrations. I think that the creativity of your integrations is amazing, I will really never understand where you get that kind of inspiration, but I really appreciate it!
Sometimes you need a break from the high energy that is the norm on youtube . I being someone that likes to dabble in the hobby, I enjoy rescuing blasters of all kinds from the local reuse center and giving them to my son who shares them with friends. I do of course keep a few of them for myself. your calm manner is refreshing and any knowledge on how to create restore and or modify blasters of all kinds is appreciated. CHEERS!!!!!
I love your crazy builds that are unbelievable. Like the bolter for mega darts. I wish I could build something like that some day. Keep up the great work and keep posting great content!!!!!👍👍
By far my favorite thing is these type of videos where it's as if we are just hanging out. There's no jarring meme or loud music that makes me feel like an old man. I'm from Minnesota so I could be biased thanks to the Charlie brown music. But its great! I genuinely enjoy your integration work and it's the type of work I believe we all shoot for. The dog hanging out, I forget her name, but I can tell she's a well trained dog and that too is awesome to see. Not just a dog in the video, you've spent time with her and its obvious I'd like to just show respect for that. And finally your generosity in the hobby is something I noticed that made me want to actually follow an online community. I also enjoyed the Chinese replica toy take Down you and coat duck did. It was interesting and funny. Either way I enjoy your channel and I'm glad you have a good number of subscribers now. If this giveaway is still going on I'd like the patch if not oh well. I enjoy the content mr!
Keep up the splendid work Mr. Nathan, your integrations are breathtaking and deserve commendment! Cant wait for the next mod updates, and mods overall! P.S. can you do another build like the shrike (the stryfe crossbolt integration)! Best wishes from NY -Flagg
I always love when a new video of yours drops. So many pieces of inspiration and the fact that you go through your step by step thought process makes me think more too. You're long discussion vidoes in the chair I always enjoy listening to. I haven't met you in person yet but I hope to one day. Maybe get you to sign something of my work. Your creations always renew my interest in the hobby and keep me going. Congrats on 5k subs man
I have always enjoyed your mod along videos the best. I really enjoyed the fact that we both started a centurian/RS with in a few days of each other made nearly identical cuts on our shells. I look forward to seeing how mine compares to yours once I get it back from Clownie. He's doing the paint work on mine. Hope to be able to meet you some day and possibly hang out and work on Intergrations together.
I'm still kinda new to hobby, at least the modding side at least. I enjoy the build updates and the mod along. My favorite has to be the event updates and load outs videos. Thank you for all you do for the community and keep up the amazing work.
Your content is excellent. I like the calmness and down to earth approach you take to speaking to people about their work and your own. Your work in the past and present has inspired my to look at modding and using different pieces to modding that I would have never thought of before. Meeting you in person, for the short time I did, at Endwar and getting to chat with you made the trip worthwhile. Win or lose, it matters not. I just wanted you to know to keep up the good work.
One of my favorite things about your content is the combination of your calm voice and the music that you use. I realize that in reality you probably don't have the music playing in your shop while you work but I somehow always imagine in my minds eye that you do. As far as specific videos I think that the firefly stock explanation is one of your best, and I also really enjoyed the centaur build log series (probably because I came to it late so I could binge the back catalog and didn't have to wait for new episodes except toward the end). If I win you don't have to send me stuff (when it comes to nerf I have enough and to spare), but thanks for being out there in the community. Keep up the good work.
Hello Mr Nathan. I'm actually sort of surprised you are only at 5000, I thought it was more by now. Your integration work is top notch and I don't think I am ever _not_ impressed when I see them. Hope to see you at Endwar 2020 again (I met you at 2018). Cheers. Edit: I'd like to be more specific but I am terrible with names (even blaster names) so I can't bring any of them to mind. I like the Stryfe-Centurion integrations at least. Content-wise I think the mod along / build log stuff is your bread and butter. I have sort of missed those.
The content you put out inspires me and also let my really tiny ego get even more tiny and makes me think of a million ideas.so thank you for posting the jaw dropping clean mods
Congratulations Mr Nathan on reaching this target. Your build guids are very intuitive and interesting, it has inspired me to mod, to have the confidence to do something out of the box (for me anyhow). I know the giveaway is just for north America but I just wanted to thank you for sharing your fantastic (amazing, brilliant and stupendous) build guids, the thought process of which part goes where, following lines etc is great for newbies like me. I've been into nerf for 10 months and I've watched your vids with interest, learning new skills to give me the confidence to do that first nerv wrenching cut. Thankyou Mr Nathan from an old British tank driving (mobility scooter with foam armour, covered roof and armed with a turret mounted Rhynofire, in red, go ream red) mad nerfer. Kind regards Phil.
There are a lot of high energy channels out there that I really enjoy, they're funny and entertaining in their way, but I really enjoy that I can come to your channel and just enjoy your calm and thorough approach to modding as well as some genuine and often thought-provoking commentary on the nerf hobby from someone who seems to really have a love for the community. Your channel reminds me of shows I grew up on like Bob Ross or The Woodwright's Shop and I love that. I also never mind that you don't bog me down with tons of videos to watch! Sometimes lots of content is great but sometimes it's too much and I have to start being choosy about what I watch because I just don't have the time.
I loved the mod along series because it inspired me to try an integration myself. The blaster turned out to look good but I messed up and epoxied it closed so It ended up being very finicky, I would love to try another one but I don't have a lot of time right now.
You have given us so much over the years, mister Nathan! I’m absolutely glad you’re still going like the little engine that could! I feel that the coolest mod you have ever done (which I might steal the idea of😈) is the integration of the persuader into the scout and other blasters. Once again man, keep up the good work!
Hey Nathan. You do amazing work and really opened my eyes to the world of integrations. You’ve inspired me and many others to try new things and improve the hobby. The fact that you show the process of modding and your mistakes really sets you apart from other others and we all appreciate that. Thanks for making the nerf community a better place. Keep up the good work and thank you again.
Alrighty. Here's my thoughts. I absolutely love your attention to detail. The amount of time and effort that you put into your integrations is astounding. I first came to your channel after walcom reviewed the HellHound. And after watching your mod along videos, seeing your though process and ideas at the start and how the ideas and concept transform into a full working blaster at the end. It's been a huge help and inspiration to me. Thank you for what you do for our hobby. (P.s. I can't wait to see more on the jackal and yellow jacket)
Most would agree you’re the best at integrating blasters in our hobby currently but what I like about you is how humble you are about your talent. I really enjoyed talking with you at endwar about the tools and the process you have for integrations. I think it’s super cool that you’re so talented but still so down to earth. I’ve met makers with half the skill and ten times the bravado. You’re a friendly guy who’s approachable and and knowledgable. I also really enjoyed your video about “nerf celebrities” and I think that was a great message for our hobby. I wish everyone was as humble and nice as you are, especially in our growing space.
your integrations are so clean and your voice and general attitude in your videos make me think i am watching a book reading video or am in a olive garden restaurant with a employer that is mellow and makes me feel like i can do great things while working for them keep up your amazing attitude and let the good vibes flow
I personally enjoy the build log-type videos! I love the insight it gives about the modding process and how it can go right or wrong. I know that you can always plan a mod in a certain way, but you'll have to change it if it doesn't work out. This, within itself, can lead to overall design improvements and potential innovations in the modding scene. You also show off really great techniques for certain aspects, such as shell work and painting, which is helpful to me (someone who doesn't know what they're doing half the time)! The amount of time, effort, and finesse you put into your builds and videos makes the entirety of your channel entertaining and educational. I'm honestly glad that Walcom featured a build of yours, otherwise I wouldn't have found your channel! I'd personally like to see a little more influx of content, but I'm not gonna push you too hard. I understand that life and such gets in the way and makes things difficult, but it's definitely something I'm looking forward to, if possible!
So i have not been here for that long. I think I have been subscribed to you for around 1 1/2 years now but your videos are so much fun to watch (even though you think its boring content XD). I love this community that you have helped build on RUclips and on discord and in the real world. I remember at ragnaroktoberfest 2018 you came and you had a booth. This was the first Nerf / foam flinging event I had ever gone to and I walked over to you and the first thing you said was how are you doing. I know that's like a normal thing to say but for someone that I look up to on a video streaming website was standing in front of me and was asking how I was. I was ecstatic to meet you and I asked you for an autograph. You walked to another booth and stole their sharpie just to write the words Mr. Nathan on my K26 Kronos. I used that Kronos the whole stalking dead match and I would see your name on it whenever I tagged someone or a zombie. Anyway this is getting kinda long lol, I just love your content and I want you to keep doing what you're doing!
I started watching you because of walcoms unboxing. Ever since I have been hooked. I'd say personally do more loadout videos before you leave for a flight or event. I enjoy seeing your tips and techniques on how to fix and modify a blaster. I'd also say make more things other than blasters, like masks I feel that would be so awesome
I enjoy how honest your videos are. So many in the hobby who are as involved as yourself are more focused on quick turnaround with their videos, and keep producing content based upon what is best received within the hobby. Your content, however, is based upon what interests you and is completed in a realistic timeframe. I particularly enjoy when you produce multiple videos which cover the same build, since it also highlights the amount of time and effort that go into each project, along with how frequent of an issue modders block can be. It is very refreshing to see a channel that has content which openly displays these things and still leads to the cleanest mods and integrations I've seen, and even better yet you are passionate about each of your projects. I hope you maintain this in the future, and don't fall to the temptation to simply produce easy and quick content.
What I enjoy most about your content is how insightful the mod alongs and similar videos are, it's like having a look inside how you and that extremely talented brain of yours operates, which in turn inspires me to push myself to do greater things each and every day. Sincerely, thank you.
Your and content has inspired alot of people, influenced me enough to try my first LSFG integration. Your talent draws us into this channel and your attitude and positivity keeps us here.
I love your content. Good things are worth the wait. You fill a niche in the hobby where theres no clickbait, its slow but holds your attention, and your craftsmanship inspires me not to get lazy when i mod myself. I appreciate the sacrifice of giving your time to create content for this channel, I will always appreciate it.
I enjoy the overall atmosphere of your videos. Even though I don't really mod etc I think they're interesting and almost relaxing lol. Very different and unique from other nerf related channels on here
I realy enjoy you content and its always calm and also you integrations are just beautiful. I recently learned how to wire a stryfe flyweel mec thing and i have been wanting to do a propper swordfish/stryfe mod for a while now. I doint cair if i win but it whould be cool, i also just wanted to tell you what i thing about the channel
I got into nerf about a year ago and am starting to mod. I love your content and your blasters. They are truly amazing. My favorites being the seamless strayven and the warthog. But not as awesome as your personality. You seem like such a kind person and you and other nerf youtube people are the reason my passion for this hobby has continued to grow! I would love to come by to your table at endwar if Im able to make it next year. :) This giveaway shtick is a great excuse to let u know how much I love your channel😂
Hey man, I love what you do, and I'd love for you to keep doing it. You, Xavier and Adam Savage are the big 3 that got me into this as a hobby. Originally I just wanted to try painting a thing (that's where Adam comes in), but thanks to you and Xavier it ended up being a whole functional integration project, which lead directly to my first local game last december. This has lead to much enjoyment and new friends to be had, even got to meet Xavier at the Nerfin for Autism event! Hope one day I get to meet you somewhere as well. As far as what I'd like to see, I really just want to watch you make more things, so keep doing you :p But, if you must have a video idea, I took many things from your videos regarding materials and techniques, but I had to assemble that skillset myself from watching your mod-along series. The biggest thing was "Devcon" as you call it, and that's totally understandable, but that's rather like calling a specific spraypaint "Krylon." I had to frantically pause the video the first time you actually showed the package on camera XD So, I would love to see (for others' sake) a video dedicated just to your regular set of materials and maybe a few tips/tricks/pointers on each one, to make it easier for others who wish to follow in your footsteps. You've given all this info before of course, but a centralized (easily searchable) source of all that info would be fantastic.
The Mod along first helped me to use epoxy better and second how to use filler parts better in my integrations. Please continue with the mod along series?
Mr Nathan I love ur vids and you really keep the integration part of our hobby alive an inspire my builds in so many ways. You have an amazing voice and are such a cool dude. Keep doing what you do thanks
Personally, I love everything you do that's mod related. The hell hound is one of the most amazing and favorite modded blaster I have ever seen. The mod along series were excellent I used to watch them when I was working in my hammer shot and my spamf paint jobs. I also love how you basically show your personal process for modding and integrating the blasters together. Honestly if someone else who is more deserving give it to them. I still remember the jackal build which I loved the design of the Raven, Longshot mixed with a touch of stryfe and underbarrel. I just wish I could mod like that lol. Well enough said thank you have a nice time reading the rest of the entries -Vincent

I've learned a lot about integrations from your channel. I don't think I would have attempted my first integration without your examples. Thank you and I'm sure I'll keep getting better watching you.
Thank you for making all of your content, it really helped me actually grow and get better in integrations and actually thinking in a very different form. Rather than thinking like butting up two blasters but actually slowly taking time and shaving to have things slide together and actually have flowing lines!
It is actually really interesting seeing different takes on things like your strayven and everything, and the jackal, it actually moved me to actually do the rayven grip on the stryfe and honestly it feels way more comfortable. Your content to me in the very least has been educational and advantageous, well at least as advantageous as cutting, and gluing plastic toys that shoot foam can be.
“Why is Mr Nathan the gosh darn nicest person in the hobby, and so talented too?”
It was great showing you my manta’d double dealer integration at endwar this year, I wish we could have chatted a little longer.
I’m always impressed by how you can take a blaster and then turn it into something entirely different. It’s kind of magical.
As for input on the channel, I guess I don’t really have a preference. I think I like seeing the final overview videos of the finished integrations best. I still enjoy seeing some of the process of how it gets there, but it’s not quite as important to me.
There are those who call you the Bob Ross of the NERFing hobby...they're not wrong. You take the extra time to go through HOW you do things, and talk about the patience involved in integration projects.
Most importantly: you never shout. You get excited, certainly, but it's always much more laid-back than most of the other NERFy RUclipsrs. I watch the Lord-Captain Xavier because his persona amuses me; Coop772 for the honest reviews of bone stock blasters; WalcomS7 because I just love watching the excitement on his face as he geeks out on things, even if it's not NERF-related.
I watch you, on the other hand, because you take a much more relaxed approach to things. No rush, no panicking (except for that time you cut yourself while making a Centurion battery stock, and even that was only briefly), just...relaxing with the hobby.
Really, I think the only thing I might want to see more of on your channel is seeing your handiwork actually flinging foam at events when you're done making them.
I love getting to chat with you at events and going back and forth online. What games we play...
I think your Mod Along videos offer some of your most unique and creative insight. Plus, if they are just 20 minute segments of you doing modwork that you'd be doing anyway, shouldn't be too intensive on editing? (I'm sure there could still be hours of footage to sift through)
And don't worry, you don't need to enter me into the giveaway. You know I wouldn't do anything with a blaster shell and I already have your patch! :)
I know it is a rather blanket answer but I have enjoyed all of your content. It has been a joy getting to know you through your videos.
Your attitude towards and your appreciation/love for the community is an inspiration!
I have also enjoyed and learnt a tonne from your videos. Your videos are what inspired me to do an integration as my 3rd ever mod and it wouldn't have been so successful had I not gleaned so many useful little tidbits from you.
Every modding video has little moments where you think "Huh, wow, I never would have thought of that. Which means I can do this, this AND this!"
You are most definitely and inspiration and I appreciate what you do! I don't care if I win anything but I enjoyed the excuse to tell you thank you for being you and doing what you do.
I’m incredibly impressed by your build process. Watching you choose what shapes you want to include in the blaster(s) and figure out how to get them from different blaster shells is so impressive. Then being able to watch the development process of fitting, adjusting, tweaking, and finalizing the shape before the integration and gap filling and smoothing is so cool to see. Your work is gorgeous and I’m blown away by every new build.
I absolutely love your integrations! I have no idea how you come up with the amazing designs, but I always love to see you both create them and paint them up in an awesome way!
From the very first video I saw of yours, i think it was the drop cylinder Strongarm video, you've been inspiring me with so many awesome integration ideas! There's been two times now where I've started an integration and then you show a video doing a very similar one (my Stryfly and the Hellhound, and my Centurion-Mastodon and Warthog), just a funny coincidence. You've helped me immensely with putty work and showing how to line up shells and shell lines, and I've learned a lot! I'll commonly put on the mod-along series or another one of your longer videos and just listen to you while I work on one of my projects. The tone of your voice and the way you explain things is really soothing and relaxing, and I enjoy listening to you! You're an awesome dude, keep on doing what you're doing!
Your voice reminds me of Bob Ross and I love it.
I appreciate all the work that you have put into the wonderful blasters that you share with the community. It is also a great help that you take the time to explain your thoughts and methods that you put into your work. The awesomeness that you have produced has greatly improved all the integration and custom work in the hobby. Last, and certainly not least, I love how you speak to your audience as peers and you are never condescending.
I found the channel when Walcom made a video on the hellhound. I really like that you do integrations. I know that sounds dumb, but with kits and 3D printing integrations are really under appreciated now in the hobby. Keep up the great work!
You have been a breath of fresh air for this hobby as far as integration goes, the kind of stuff you do brings back memories of the kind of integrations we did back in the day prior to 3d printed parts. Would love to see you do some vintage blaster integrations. Also really enjoy your work with mega dart firing stuff, buff daddy and Mitch Essinger (no nonsense nerfing) have also done really cool work with mega firing stuff and I could only imagine what you 3 could come up with together in a collaboration. Looking forward to seeing your current long standing projects come to a close and new projects come to life.
I love seeing your update videos about projects you are working on. The first thing I saw from you was your hellhound on Walcom's channel. I first could not tell if it was an intervention. It looked like something Nerf came out with. Watching you work on some bone stock blasters that some wouldn't even use to something everyone would run is great! And the level of detail you go into about what your projects are is also wonderful. But by far the best part of your channel is...
The Olivegaurden music.
i’ve only been around long enough from when walcom featured the hellhound on his channel that time you sent it to him but your channel has definitely been an inspiration for sure. i very much enjoy the fact that you’re just doing this because you love and enjoy it. you’re super down to earth and the fact that you share your struggles with ideas/builds is awesome as well. i think my favourite video(s) are the mod along/build logs just because i think it’s so cool to see your thought process through a build and some techniques as well. and when you feature some other people’s builds as well. definitely something i hope to see more of in the future! cheers!
I really love how you talk through the thought process on blending lines on combining shells. The older I get the broader my interests in making is and things like kitbashing always fascinated me but you were the first person that really showed me insight not just how to do it, but the mindset needed.
i really enjoys your build vlogs(reviews are also welcome, knowledge being power in all). What i enjoy from your build vlogs is getting see the techniques(ive used the xacto scoring on my own build) and thought process being put into what integration peaces go where and why(has given me allot of forethought into my own 3d design language blending and matching lines).
The video that got me to know about your channel and your work, and also the one that made me subscribe, was the Seamless Strayven integration. I love this mod so much. At the time I was fairly new to the hobby and wanted to do a strayven build so bad. But all the other modding videos did cut both shells of the rayven in the same right angle, which is good for the battery side of the stryfe but leaves the other side with such an ugly transition. I was sure there must be another way to do this and just as was going to try it out I found your video on it and it blew my mind. I remember sitting there saying to myself: 'Yes, this is how it should be done!'
And with that inspiration I went of and build my first strayven similar to yours and I still love it.
After watching more and more of your videos I came to enjoy your content more then other because it never feels rushed. You take so much time to think about lines and parts to integrate to get the best possible result. It inspired me because I mod kind of the same way. (which is why my big integrations take forever XD). I really enjoyed getting to talk to you about possible integrations and maybe shipping some blasters over here. Even though it never happened you tried hard to make it work and I appreciate you very much for that. I also value your opinion on my projects very much, so thank you for all the feedback and help.
And on top of that, its like many other have posted here already, you are one of the most skilled and most kind modders in the community! Please keep it up and don't worry about content being more scare because of life things. After all your work is about quality not quantity!
Love and sunshine,
Rainbow
You are always so calm and in some way it helps me focus on what you are explaining, i built a strayven the way you made one and it was my first integration and i came out quite well for a first time. Keep it up!
Btw, is this also for europe?
First introduced to this wonderful channel since Walcoms7 showed us the hellhound you made, but many cool ideas I’ve loved here. The conspiracy of rayvens, the jackel project and the General Mayhem rapidstrike has been my favorite project I’ve seen. Great to always see another vid from you :)
Bro, I love you and have always loved and looked forward to your content. I still plan to replicate your Jackal build for myself some day. Keep on Brother man!
also I loved/missed the mod along vids... when you were first getting into the channel you just posted vids of you doing and figuring things out... it always inspired me to start tinkering!
I love watching your channel, most of all the mod along episodes. I enjoy seeing your thought process, the building process, the mistakes, and the triumphs. Thanks Mister Nathan.
I really like the unique designs you come up with for your cosmetic mods. I especially like the warthog and centauride mods
I love the content, all of it.
Love the cosy fireside feel and the way you show us some of your failures and stuck projects and your calm but honest reviews.
When I first began taking interest in our hobby my primary portal was Coop, mostly for his reviews and some older content for modifications. I soon became familiar with Drac's work, as well as Out of Darts, and eventually Captain Xavier. Through these videos I learned a lot and began tuning and upgrading my blasters to be more powerful.
Then I came across a video about a project called "Warlord", and the game immediately changed. It was the first time I had seen something quite like that; functional and artistic. I began browsing your video catalogue and found many other gems of inspiration.
I have since begun to delve into the world of integrations and endeavor to make something truly unique (though I still have a long way to go). Your custom projects inspire me to look at this hobby in a different way and to step out of my comfort zone for a challenge. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
The way you can break down blasters and figured out how to add pieces together to come up with a whole new look and feel just blows me away. I've used several of your methods to come up with my own builds and owe it to you. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing everything with us. The only thing I would like to see is MORE content...lol. but I understand life gets in the way.
You're Slow&Steady demeanor is greatly appreciated.
I might sound like a bit of an echo here but I've enjoyed all of the content that you have put out over the years. I first found your channel like most from Walcom when he did the video on the hellhound. At the time I was blown away by the how sleek and clean the blaster integration was. (I still am) I decided to check out your channel and I've been here since, I can say without a doubt that you are one of the most positive and down to earth people in the hobby that I've seen. Also I can't wait to see what what you have in store for us.
I started following you when Walcom featured your hellhound (I believe that was the name, my memory isn't the best) but I love your integration work and I like to see your technique and I want to start doing integration work of my own and I hope to be able to use your work as inspiration
I think that the way you treat your dog is fantastic, especially when he gets in the way and you “break character” and give attention when it is asked for, not all dog owners are like that.
I just enjoy listening to you talk about different things, going over your thoughts. You approach subjects very honestly but without trying to make it flashy and hyped. I just enjoy a calm and pleasant talk through. Also sometimes we see the puppy and that's just always a highlight! (I'm officially passing on first place - a patch would be lovely but someone else would make much better use of the swordfish than I lol)
5k already? I can still remember when I first started watching you after walcoms video on your work and it was around 1k and was using my old account. Welp time flys. Now where do I even begin on what I enjoy i guess I’ll start with things like the slow pace of the mod along where we get to see the thought process behind everything. I also love the calm relaxed vibe you videos have. I also enjoy these chair videos telling us your thoughts, it’s inspiring to see how everything looks so different from the original thing. I also love how nice you are! In general I think your pretty much doing everything well. watching your videos is a great way to unwind and get some inspiration. I can’t wait to see what your future holds!
The best part of this channel is how relaxed it is. So many RUclipsrs share opinions on builds or the “right way” to do things. I love how you get excited for any idea and if you aren’t sure it’s a good idea you try and help. Seeing a notification from your channel means I get to relax and project some that night.
I love seeing all your integrations and paint jobs I also really enjoy your primary blaster I am talking about that modified stryfe with a centurion stock and cool front end
My favorite part of your channel has to be thr mod along series. The reason is because with the way you film it we get insight into how and why you use certain pieces.
I have to say, my favorite mod you've done has to be the secret santa pistol, something about the aesthetics of that one really get me. I love seeing some people actually doing integrations on a pistol scale like that, since there are tons of people doing good larger mods, but not many smaller blasters. In general I always feel like your mods are the cleanest and have the best lines, whenever I'm looking for inspiration you're certainly one of my go-to places to get mod ideas!
I love to hear you speak, You do have a great voice. I often put on one of your Longer videos as background as i Mod. I also appreciate the detail in your mods and seeing how you analyze a shell and add or subtract to get the lines or shape you want.
All of your blasters are works of art, and you always seem to think about the things that you do, which seems to be going out of style on youtube. Thanks for the great content!
The thing I like about your channel is you. After meeting you at endwar and seeing you walk around nervously looking and talking to people and their stuff, it was clear you are you. You don't have a presonality for your channel and are a genuine and kind person. As nervous as I was having you look at my stuff for the first time I never felt like I was being judged or compared to any one (it put my ego at ease but not my nerves, after all you do INCREDIBLE work LoL). I'm glad you, your family, and your dog are part of this community.
I've been watching for a long time, round about when walcom featured I think it was the hellhound. Love your eye for integrations, I could watch those all day. Plus the tone of your voice and choice of background music is therapeutically calming for me.
I really enjoy when you share new ideas/concepts, like when you shorten firefly stocks, or the centurion batter hiding thing. It is really cool that you can come up with brand new ideas, but more importantly share them with easy guides for the community to follow!! Also, the mod along series is really cool, and more times than I can count, have made me want to build a blaster the exact same way. Maybe one day I’ll get around to it
What I like most about your video is how different they are from other. You have great personal level Demeanor. And your videos are peaceful because of how com, collective, and soft spoken you which is a change in pace from most of the material out there. Also would love to see some more in depth videos on your moded blaster, which from what I have seen so far the mods look really cool and interesting. Keep up the great content.
I like how you talk calmly and speak clearly so i can understand and also I like how your voice is nice and soothing and that could just make a person stay calm watching your videos.
In the future when you do mods I would like to see some firing demos when you finish the mod.
You've truly been a huge inspiration to me in my modding career. Your videos are relaxing to listen to, and have useful content that is very helpful when I feel I'm in a pickle. Your Stampede metal gear set review has probably helped me the most in my current project, and I can't thank you enough for what you do. Your engagement with myself and other modders on Instagram as well makes me very happy to have you in the foam flinging community.
It's great to know even if I dont have the time now to work on the mods and builds I dream of, I always have your channel to come back to as an unmatched resource with your mod along series. Also love any one of these sit down and talk vids while you dog just wants all the pets. Looking forward to any thing you are able to put out next.
I also love this channel. I appreciate you constantly rethinking and tinkering. Talking through your process also helps me feel more confident in starting mods myself. Additional ways that you are similar to Bob Ross is your soothing voice and background music.
Your Rival loadout videos were cool and your integration videos are always amazing! Love your content!
Mister Nathan,
I've been a subscriber since the Hellhound appeared on Walcom's channel. Your work with integrations and shell work is nothing short of incredible. I really enjoy watching your mod along series, and I love listening to your livestreams when I'm doing homework or something. I think my favorite part of your channel might be the music in the background. That plus the general tone of your voice and speaking style makes you very nice to listen to. Thank so much for what you do for the hobby. I would really like to see some gameplay in the Arena if that were an option, it seems like a really interesting venue and I would like to see how you have it set up in case I were able to build a similar space in the future. Plus I would like to see your Atlas loadout in action, if you still use it.
I first found your channel after buying a Kronos, and looking for a good video to walk me through the 6-shot mod. I asked you a question, which you answered pretty quickly, which was awesome. I watched some of your mod-along stuff which I think will be awesome reference information to have in the future because I want to do a large scale custom modded blaster at some point.
What really earned my subscription though was your attitude about everything. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your approach to everything. We're all just here to have fun, so have fun, and make sure everyone else has fun too. And your videos clearly all stem from that same place, where you like making neat fun things, and you want to help everyone else who is interested do the same. As Drac says, the rising tide lifts all ships, and you are doing your best to raise the tide.
Thank you for all your videos, and I look forward to more from you.
I came over from watching Walcom S7 Review the Hellhound. I stayed watching absolutely pieces of art being built. Keep up the Awesome work Mr Nathan
I remember hearing about your channel a while back from a MTB podcast, but I didn't really understand the concepts until a while later when I was older. It was when I saw the video where you talked with Searingpheonix about his Huginn's Claw build a few months back that really made me realize how cool your channel and similar ones really were, before that I never really payed much mind to integrations other than seeing yet another basic strayven now and then.
I feel like my favorite thing about your work on not just the channel but the hobby in general is the creative spark in it. There are a lot of people who can 3D print parts to modify and create new blasters in unique and interesting ways, but I've come to believe that its another thing entirely to look at multiple fully finished blasters and see something that wasn't designed behind company doors, and it isn't something I see done so well on really any other channel.
All in all, I hope to see you take things in new directions and hopefully inspire other people to do the same. After all when it seems like all the ideas are used up, its channels and modders like you that post something and make people realize "Oh yeah, I guess we aren't done with this idea yet".
Good luck to your future endeavors, and hear is hoping you continue to find enjoyment in this hobby and continue to innovate, helping to inspire it to grow further.
I don't need to be entered in to the contest but I LOVE your work and enthusiasm. You are the Bob Ross of Nerf. And if you ever wanted to part with Devil's Hand...well...Please let me know...
Let me take this opportunity to say that if not for this channel i wouldve never gone ahead with my first integration. Ive been modding along with the stryfe centurion integration vids. The one thing i appreciate is that I can occasionaly get an answer to a question on here. And you have helped me directly during the build as well. That is huge for me since there isnt much of a scene out here and not many i can go to for advice/help. Not interested in the swordfish and just wanted to comment. Thanks for being a great resource, i know first hand its difficult to record and mod because it just takes so much more work. So just thanks for all of it.
I have been here since Walcom showed us the Hellhound but I came here thinking a lot of cool integrations and it did
Even though your channel is small I love it, it has always made me think of trying to mod something even though I’m still doing hobbies at once
Sincerly, Marc G/Metanoba
I've really enjoyed yuh our channel and learning from it. I like the way you show, explain and think out of the box for your mods, such as using the PVC pipe on the centauride mod. I'm cu6working on my first integration and frequently refer to your content for help, thank you for that. Keep it up.
Your content has always been great. It's always good to see new blasters being made from parts I'd usually toss aside. The ways you integrate things have always made me rethink possible future integration work and I'm always on the hunt for fresh ideas. The only downside is being so indecisive with what I want to do next, but I'd rather have too many ideas than not enough.
Personally, the mod-alongs are what have kept me watching the channel, I have really enjoyed watching the progress on projects such as the jackal and the yellowjacket the best. Seeing inside how you go about the process of creating functional works of art are inspiring and help me look at not only the hobby, but just everyday in general, in a different light than what i would normally.
You know I've been into modding for a while now and follow alot of people on RUclips. But the thing that I would say drags people to your channel the most is how laid back you are, and how you take the time to make things look amazing. I know everytime I flip on one of your videos I'm learning something.
Also congrats on 5k Subs
I enjoy your mod along/build logs. I've picked up a few ideas, for my other hobby, which is prop-making. Prop-making and nerf have a lot of crossover.
Also, any video with your dog id a win. Your dog is brilliant!
I've always been really impressed by the concept of integrations. I think that the creativity of your integrations is amazing, I will really never understand where you get that kind of inspiration, but I really appreciate it!
Sometimes you need a break from the high energy that is the norm on youtube . I being someone that likes to dabble in the hobby, I enjoy rescuing blasters of all kinds from the local reuse center and giving them to my son who shares them with friends. I do of course keep a few of them for myself. your calm manner is refreshing and any knowledge on how to create restore and or modify blasters of all kinds is appreciated. CHEERS!!!!!
I love your crazy builds that are unbelievable. Like the bolter for mega darts. I wish I could build something like that some day. Keep up the great work and keep posting great content!!!!!👍👍
By far my favorite thing is these type of videos where it's as if we are just hanging out. There's no jarring meme or loud music that makes me feel like an old man. I'm from Minnesota so I could be biased thanks to the Charlie brown music. But its great!
I genuinely enjoy your integration work and it's the type of work I believe we all shoot for. The dog hanging out, I forget her name, but I can tell she's a well trained dog and that too is awesome to see. Not just a dog in the video, you've spent time with her and its obvious I'd like to just show respect for that.
And finally your generosity in the hobby is something I noticed that made me want to actually follow an online community. I also enjoyed the Chinese replica toy take Down you and coat duck did. It was interesting and funny.
Either way I enjoy your channel and I'm glad you have a good number of subscribers now. If this giveaway is still going on I'd like the patch if not oh well.
I enjoy the content mr!
Keep up the splendid work Mr. Nathan, your integrations are breathtaking and deserve commendment! Cant wait for the next mod updates, and mods overall! P.S. can you do another build like the shrike (the stryfe crossbolt integration)! Best wishes from NY -Flagg
I always love when a new video of yours drops. So many pieces of inspiration and the fact that you go through your step by step thought process makes me think more too. You're long discussion vidoes in the chair I always enjoy listening to. I haven't met you in person yet but I hope to one day. Maybe get you to sign something of my work. Your creations always renew my interest in the hobby and keep me going. Congrats on 5k subs man
I have always enjoyed your mod along videos the best. I really enjoyed the fact that we both started a centurian/RS with in a few days of each other made nearly identical cuts on our shells. I look forward to seeing how mine compares to yours once I get it back from Clownie. He's doing the paint work on mine. Hope to be able to meet you some day and possibly hang out and work on Intergrations together.
I'm still kinda new to hobby, at least the modding side at least. I enjoy the build updates and the mod along. My favorite has to be the event updates and load outs videos. Thank you for all you do for the community and keep up the amazing work.
Man, your stuff is so clean! You just make stuff like no one else :)
Hope to see more of your integrations in the future!
I love your integrations and it was very fun to meet you at endwar and see a bunch of your awesome mods!
Your content is excellent. I like the calmness and down to earth approach you take to speaking to people about their work and your own. Your work in the past and present has inspired my to look at modding and using different pieces to modding that I would have never thought of before.
Meeting you in person, for the short time I did, at Endwar and getting to chat with you made the trip worthwhile.
Win or lose, it matters not. I just wanted you to know to keep up the good work.
One of my favorite things about your content is the combination of your calm voice and the music that you use. I realize that in reality you probably don't have the music playing in your shop while you work but I somehow always imagine in my minds eye that you do.
As far as specific videos I think that the firefly stock explanation is one of your best, and I also really enjoyed the centaur build log series (probably because I came to it late so I could binge the back catalog and didn't have to wait for new episodes except toward the end).
If I win you don't have to send me stuff (when it comes to nerf I have enough and to spare), but thanks for being out there in the community. Keep up the good work.
Hello Mr Nathan. I'm actually sort of surprised you are only at 5000, I thought it was more by now. Your integration work is top notch and I don't think I am ever _not_ impressed when I see them. Hope to see you at Endwar 2020 again (I met you at 2018). Cheers. Edit: I'd like to be more specific but I am terrible with names (even blaster names) so I can't bring any of them to mind. I like the Stryfe-Centurion integrations at least. Content-wise I think the mod along / build log stuff is your bread and butter. I have sort of missed those.
The content you put out inspires me and also let my really tiny ego get even more tiny and makes me think of a million ideas.so thank you for posting the jaw dropping clean mods
Congratulations Mr Nathan on reaching this target. Your build guids are very intuitive and interesting, it has inspired me to mod, to have the confidence to do something out of the box (for me anyhow). I know the giveaway is just for north America but I just wanted to thank you for sharing your fantastic (amazing, brilliant and stupendous) build guids, the thought process of which part goes where, following lines etc is great for newbies like me. I've been into nerf for 10 months and I've watched your vids with interest, learning new skills to give me the confidence to do that first nerv wrenching cut. Thankyou Mr Nathan from an old British tank driving (mobility scooter with foam armour, covered roof and armed with a turret mounted Rhynofire, in red, go ream red) mad nerfer. Kind regards Phil.
There are a lot of high energy channels out there that I really enjoy, they're funny and entertaining in their way, but I really enjoy that I can come to your channel and just enjoy your calm and thorough approach to modding as well as some genuine and often thought-provoking commentary on the nerf hobby from someone who seems to really have a love for the community. Your channel reminds me of shows I grew up on like Bob Ross or The Woodwright's Shop and I love that. I also never mind that you don't bog me down with tons of videos to watch! Sometimes lots of content is great but sometimes it's too much and I have to start being choosy about what I watch because I just don't have the time.
I loved the mod along series because it inspired me to try an integration myself.
The blaster turned out to look good but I messed up and epoxied it closed so It ended up being very finicky, I would love to try another one but I don't have a lot of time right now.
You have given us so much over the years, mister Nathan! I’m absolutely glad you’re still going like the little engine that could! I feel that the coolest mod you have ever done (which I might steal the idea of😈) is the integration of the persuader into the scout and other blasters. Once again man, keep up the good work!
Hey Nathan. You do amazing work and really opened my eyes to the world of integrations. You’ve inspired me and many others to try new things and improve the hobby. The fact that you show the process of modding and your mistakes really sets you apart from other others and we all appreciate that. Thanks for making the nerf community a better place. Keep up the good work and thank you again.
It was really fun seeing you at rag, loved your builds
Alrighty. Here's my thoughts. I absolutely love your attention to detail. The amount of time and effort that you put into your integrations is astounding. I first came to your channel after walcom reviewed the HellHound. And after watching your mod along videos, seeing your though process and ideas at the start and how the ideas and concept transform into a full working blaster at the end. It's been a huge help and inspiration to me. Thank you for what you do for our hobby.
(P.s. I can't wait to see more on the jackal and yellow jacket)
Most would agree you’re the best at integrating blasters in our hobby currently but what I like about you is how humble you are about your talent. I really enjoyed talking with you at endwar about the tools and the process you have for integrations. I think it’s super cool that you’re so talented but still so down to earth. I’ve met makers with half the skill and ten times the bravado. You’re a friendly guy who’s approachable and and knowledgable. I also really enjoyed your video about “nerf celebrities” and I think that was a great message for our hobby. I wish everyone was as humble and nice as you are, especially in our growing space.
your integrations are so clean and your voice and general attitude in your videos make me think i am watching a book reading video or am in a olive garden restaurant with a employer that is mellow and makes me feel like i can do great things while working for them keep up your amazing attitude and let the good vibes flow
I personally enjoy the build log-type videos! I love the insight it gives about the modding process and how it can go right or wrong. I know that you can always plan a mod in a certain way, but you'll have to change it if it doesn't work out. This, within itself, can lead to overall design improvements and potential innovations in the modding scene. You also show off really great techniques for certain aspects, such as shell work and painting, which is helpful to me (someone who doesn't know what they're doing half the time)!
The amount of time, effort, and finesse you put into your builds and videos makes the entirety of your channel entertaining and educational. I'm honestly glad that Walcom featured a build of yours, otherwise I wouldn't have found your channel!
I'd personally like to see a little more influx of content, but I'm not gonna push you too hard. I understand that life and such gets in the way and makes things difficult, but it's definitely something I'm looking forward to, if possible!
So i have not been here for that long. I think I have been subscribed to you for around 1 1/2 years now but your videos are so much fun to watch (even though you think its boring content XD). I love this community that you have helped build on RUclips and on discord and in the real world. I remember at ragnaroktoberfest 2018 you came and you had a booth. This was the first Nerf / foam flinging event I had ever gone to and I walked over to you and the first thing you said was how are you doing. I know that's like a normal thing to say but for someone that I look up to on a video streaming website was standing in front of me and was asking how I was. I was ecstatic to meet you and I asked you for an autograph. You walked to another booth and stole their sharpie just to write the words Mr. Nathan on my K26 Kronos. I used that Kronos the whole stalking dead match and I would see your name on it whenever I tagged someone or a zombie. Anyway this is getting kinda long lol, I just love your content and I want you to keep doing what you're doing!
I started watching you because of walcoms unboxing. Ever since I have been hooked. I'd say personally do more loadout videos before you leave for a flight or event. I enjoy seeing your tips and techniques on how to fix and modify a blaster. I'd also say make more things other than blasters, like masks I feel that would be so awesome
I enjoy how honest your videos are. So many in the hobby who are as involved as yourself are more focused on quick turnaround with their videos, and keep producing content based upon what is best received within the hobby. Your content, however, is based upon what interests you and is completed in a realistic timeframe. I particularly enjoy when you produce multiple videos which cover the same build, since it also highlights the amount of time and effort that go into each project, along with how frequent of an issue modders block can be. It is very refreshing to see a channel that has content which openly displays these things and still leads to the cleanest mods and integrations I've seen, and even better yet you are passionate about each of your projects. I hope you maintain this in the future, and don't fall to the temptation to simply produce easy and quick content.
I really like these chill videos with cragar and I wish you would do more videos just giving your thoughts on things.
What I enjoy most about your content is how insightful the mod alongs and similar videos are, it's like having a look inside how you and that extremely talented brain of yours operates, which in turn inspires me to push myself to do greater things each and every day. Sincerely, thank you.
Your and content has inspired alot of people, influenced me enough to try my first LSFG integration. Your talent draws us into this channel and your attitude and positivity keeps us here.
I love your content. Good things are worth the wait. You fill a niche in the hobby where theres no clickbait, its slow but holds your attention, and your craftsmanship inspires me not to get lazy when i mod myself. I appreciate the sacrifice of giving your time to create content for this channel, I will always appreciate it.
I enjoy the overall atmosphere of your videos. Even though I don't really mod etc I think they're interesting and almost relaxing lol. Very different and unique from other nerf related channels on here
I realy enjoy you content and its always calm and also you integrations are just beautiful. I recently learned how to wire a stryfe flyweel mec thing and i have been wanting to do a propper swordfish/stryfe mod for a while now. I doint cair if i win but it whould be cool, i also just wanted to tell you what i thing about the channel
I got into nerf about a year ago and am starting to mod. I love your content and your blasters. They are truly amazing. My favorites being the seamless strayven and the warthog. But not as awesome as your personality. You seem like such a kind person and you and other nerf youtube people are the reason my passion for this hobby has continued to grow! I would love to come by to your table at endwar if Im able to make it next year. :)
This giveaway shtick is a great excuse to let u know how much I love your channel😂
Hey man, I love what you do, and I'd love for you to keep doing it. You, Xavier and Adam Savage are the big 3 that got me into this as a hobby. Originally I just wanted to try painting a thing (that's where Adam comes in), but thanks to you and Xavier it ended up being a whole functional integration project, which lead directly to my first local game last december. This has lead to much enjoyment and new friends to be had, even got to meet Xavier at the Nerfin for Autism event! Hope one day I get to meet you somewhere as well. As far as what I'd like to see, I really just want to watch you make more things, so keep doing you :p But, if you must have a video idea, I took many things from your videos regarding materials and techniques, but I had to assemble that skillset myself from watching your mod-along series. The biggest thing was "Devcon" as you call it, and that's totally understandable, but that's rather like calling a specific spraypaint "Krylon." I had to frantically pause the video the first time you actually showed the package on camera XD So, I would love to see (for others' sake) a video dedicated just to your regular set of materials and maybe a few tips/tricks/pointers on each one, to make it easier for others who wish to follow in your footsteps. You've given all this info before of course, but a centralized (easily searchable) source of all that info would be fantastic.
The Mod along first helped me to use epoxy better and second how to use filler parts better in my integrations. Please continue with the mod along series?
Mr Nathan I love ur vids and you really keep the integration part of our hobby alive an inspire my builds in so many ways. You have an amazing voice and are such a cool dude.
Keep doing what you do thanks
I live in Germany and I don't own a velcro vest. : (
Personally, I love everything you do that's mod related. The hell hound is one of the most amazing and favorite modded blaster I have ever seen. The mod along series were excellent I used to watch them when I was working in my hammer shot and my spamf paint jobs. I also love how you basically show your personal process for modding and integrating the blasters together. Honestly if someone else who is more deserving give it to them. I still remember the jackal build which I loved the design of the Raven, Longshot mixed with a touch of stryfe and underbarrel. I just wish I could mod like that lol. Well enough said thank you have a nice time reading the rest of the entries -Vincent
I really like your content becouse it gives me ideas and helps me with my mods
"You are watching Mr. Nathan Goes to RUclips" on AMC. I like the integration vids, and the relaxing music in the background.
