I'd also recommend (if you don't plan on taking it apart again) filling the screw holes with epoxy or resin to not have the holes show everywhere on the rifle.
I would love to make a custom to my MA-40 as well but since I love the green and white already the only thing I would love to do is to custom the paint in a way it looks like the oaint from the Prawn blasters from District 9 and maybe if I happen to find an expert in Nerf mods, add a functional ammo counter, alt fire mode, recharging batteries, a sling attachment and a functional tactical light. It will cost a lot of money and time but I love the blaster
Nice work, an alternative to drybrushing I like is Rub n Buff, and I get a metallic black look on my prop weapons using graphite; you can get it powdered as a lubricant for locks and just spread it around with a soft fan brush. I have been looking at this particular nerf gun for my kid, we're going to paint up some stuff together (once he decides what we're working on).
Hey josh! I did sand the whole body. I think a big key in making textures is also in the paint job. My dry brushing method is a great way to do that. I’m glad to hear you like it!
Man, this looks awesome! So doing this. Sadly will have to leave the tip of the barrel orange so i dont get in trouble with the law, but overall, looks great! Nice work!
@@commonmockery1074 a “brushed” look is very specific. If it were me, I would still use normal acrylic (color is your choice) and use an actual brush. The dry brushing I show here is very random, however if you are careful with a brush you can create “streaks” to emulate a brushed finish by using long continues strokes
Oh sure when you take a chisel and scrape off the little letters and numbers on your Nerf blaster, it’s fine. But when I do it on my AR, the ATF raids my house and slaps me with a felony for “dEfAcInG a FiReArM”… This is oppression!

What an incredible suggestion! I hope everyone sees this idea 💪
Well first mod the insides to have stuff like a flashlight, also what about batteried
@@yeetrreet2453 you could wire the battery pack into the butt stock with some kind of little door for the charger port
Could even mod some bigger batteries in as well
Because real guns don't have screws?
1:34 Bro really took some poor grunt’s methane mask.
Had to be done
oh hi
@@thecreativeinfantryGood
Doesn't even look close to a nerf gun anymore, awesome
Looks real enough that the cops will shoot your kid as he's playing outside.

Bruh💀💀💀
That's insane!!! As a huge Halo fan, I've seen some great Nerf. This takes the cake!!!
@@rylinburns thanks so much! I have some other halo stuff planned too
This looks way better than some of suspect prop guns in the Halo TV series.
You’re very kind thank you
1:07 with the power of TORQUEing *evil laugh*
Looks just like an MA37!
Yup, it is MA37
Amazing build! Is pretty surreal to see it all being done in such a short amount of time
I get that feeling too! Seeing all the work condensed to just a few minutes

Yes rub n buff is an excellent tool! Best of luck to you and your kid!
343 needs to hire this man
This video is awesome and I am using it as I paint my own
Best of luck man!
I’ve been meaning to do this for so long, but for the time being, I think it’s better that I have an obviously toy looking gun in my room 😂
This looks awesome!
Thanks so much! The client was very pleased ^^
bro you did a tremendous job on this, nice work
Thanks I appreciate you! I still plan to do more in the future
It's a shame I can't find one of these anywhere without them being overpriced
Facts
Amazing work! It looks really proffesional without even using difficult techniques, I'll definitely steal some of your tips if you don't mind!
You’re too kind Dan, thank you so much! Haha by all means steal all of the tips! As long as you’re able to make something cool that you love :D
Silver drybrush on dark colors never fails.
Did you sand the whole body? I’ve noticed that yours looks more textured than the other ones on here and I like that!
Hey josh! I did sand the whole body. I think a big key in making textures is also in the paint job. My dry brushing method is a great way to do that. I’m glad to hear you like it!
@@thecreativeinfantry thank you for the reply!! I’ll definitely follow that then!!
@@PreSwoleBobby fantastic! Be sure to let me know how it goes!
"I need a weapon"
“Right this way”
nice great job!!!
Thanks Spartan!
Nice. Bob Ross and Adam Savage would be very proud. Please put some orange tape on the tip of the barrel, for legal purposes.
Safety first!
@thecreativeinfantry you don't want anyone mistaking a toy for a real thing. In a controlled environment though, this is screen-worthy.
@@MrGreenAKAguci00 precisly
Man, this looks awesome! So doing this. Sadly will have to leave the tip of the barrel orange so i dont get in trouble with the law, but overall, looks great! Nice work!
Have fun, be smart, and stay safe 👌
@@thecreativeinfantry Thank you, you too!
Sounds awesome bro sucks about the orange but it probably looks good either way, is it Cali?
Epic
Man, now I wanna go enhance my paints XD
You probably should put orange tape on the barrel if it leaves your house
"for twenty bucks, and a day of work, you to can transform a boring toy into a movie prop"
the gun costs one hundred and fifty bucks itself.
It was $25 bucks on Amazon for a long time lols
@@TargetedFox that's kind of annoying. I wouldn't mind having one, but I sure ain't going to dish out 150 bucks.
It was like 50@@TargetedFox
@@coatrak1357 it was 24.99 when I bought it around december
What if I wanted to do a more clean and new look? What suggestions would you have for that?
Then you may want to avoid the dry brushing technique
What kind of paint would you recommend to get that brushed nickel slide look?

I just dry brush the hell outta the gun which took 4 hours of trial and error
4:40 bro is lagging lol
dang, I would have loved to have a halo nerf gun when I was a kid
❤ Oh please !
I WANT ONE !
how to do ?
this one is the version out from Reach, right?
I was very much inspired by Reach yes
@@thecreativeinfantry wanst expecting that you answer me :O
What kind of colors were you using?
Black white brown silver and yellow. And just mixing some together until I found ones I liked
What paints did you use for the dry brushing?
I use the ones you can find at Michael’s. Brands like Folkart, DecoArt, or Apple barrel
@@thecreativeinfantry was it a gold you used sorry?
@@ShadowHunter52 I believed I used Antique Gold! Pick something not so “bright” and you’ll be fine
@@thecreativeinfantry awesome thanks
@@ShadowHunter52 you’re most welcome
Wow! Amazing Stuff! 😁 👍🏻
Thanks Thomas! You can do it too 🤙
Puedes hacer uno pero con un rifle de asalto cómo hay que usar la jefe maestro generalmente en halo
Ese es el rifle de asalto wey
Can this be modified to make it more for Airsoft games ?
Great question, I am no expert so I can not tell you
They NEED to rewave this
sorry im late for this but can you also do painting the Kriss Vector Nerf gun? the one that is look like a storm trooper design
the stormtrooper rifle is a Sterling SMG, not kriss vector.
As someone who hates this version of the AR I can say that this is cool for people who like this AR
That’s very mature of you! Not everyone will enjoy the same interests but that doesn’t mean you need to talk poorly about them. Great attitude!
@@thecreativeinfantry I prefer the halo 3 ar but I have to admit this ar build looks good IRL
@@VashVenuswell you’ll be pretty excited for a future paint job I have planned then!
@@thecreativeinfantry bet, subbing rn
Can I send you mine and you customise it ? White green and orange 🍊 what were nerf thinking Jesus
Oh sure when you take a chisel and scrape off the little letters and numbers on your Nerf blaster, it’s fine. But when I do it on my AR, the ATF raids my house and slaps me with a felony for “dEfAcInG a FiReArM”…
This is oppression!
Nerf is a literal toy
@@thecreativeinfantry I can see my sarcasm went over your head.
!!! Wow !!!!!
He turned an ugly ass toy into looking like a professional movie prop
Maybe keep the tip of the barrell orange
Pero what about the Nerf darts?
Unfortunately I didn’t have any! I was just given le dart blaster
@@thecreativeinfantry I sees.
may i ask is this replica 1/1 scale or is slightly shorter than ingame dimension ?
You know I’m not entirely certain! I never bothered to measure it. I simply did the repaint
I did a little research for you. I believe the nerf blaster measured at around 28 inches long
Ok assume the Nerf blasters 28-in it is roughly 6 inch shorter than the combat Evolved and 10-in shorter then infinite version so relatively on scale
I really dislike the MA37 design (easily the worst AR iteration to date) but man, your paintjob makes me actually want to do this.
It is still works?
Of course
@@thecreativeinfantry Do you think I can paint it without disassembling the weapon?
@@fabianaalejandradominguezr513 absolutely !
From happy child to depressed teenager.
Remember reach
What Nerf gun is that?
