Now he does mention that the colour of the pulse rifle is up for debate.  Brown or green.  What is your choice?

This is leading me into temptation!

Back in the pre-COVID days, colleagues in the office next door commenced battle at each day at 12 with a range of Nerf weaponry, including a bowcaster for our resident Valkyrie.

Sometime in 2022, when we are supposed to be able to return to the workplace, it'd be fun to storm office 37.

I'd paint the thing in RAL 7013 first.

I knew the armourer on Aliens. The original props were painted a Humbrol colour called "Brown Bess"

Western Arms?

That's a name I haven't heard in a very long time...

Aha! I meant my Harder & Steenbeck Infinity... I managed to damage the Quick Fix end of the airbrush and have just ordered replacement parts.

My son bought me one of these for Father's Day this year.

 

His was on backorder for over a year & he paid the standard price, whatever is was at the time.

 

I did some research on what the paint color might be & i found Halfords do camo colors in a 300ml can & im thinking the green in that selection could suffice.

Nice one, the colour used in Aliens was actually “Vintage Brown Bess” by floqil - Archive X paints carry that colour

Necro necro thread

 

I watched a few Alien dark descent game vids which reminded me of this.  There are a few repaint videos on yt. As mentioned by Phas3e Brown Bess paint by SMS. Does Humbrol have BB paint?? I am including a link to a video of the Cheyenne pilot in the latest game. she made me chuckle.

 

paint vid:

 

Hunslet video. Caution for spoilers and language, it is just a bit of fun.

Looking at the Halfords Camo range, they also carry 2 browns.

 

One just called Brown & the other Khaki Brown, im think the first brown might suit, id have to pop down to my local store & have a look at the color label.

 

Ive also read that RAL7013 is really close to the Brown Bess, but Ive found that camo spray paint that you can use for airsoft guns could suffice & they list them in RAL colors, but some of them say on the can/instructions on website you dont need primer & you can just spray it directly on, but a sanding is required, im a bit dubious about doing that, as id rather spray a coat of primer on first.

 

Along with the fact that the shiny plastic that the nerf gun is made out of, will need to be sanded down a bit first, as the shiny part dont like to take a coat of paint.
