UPDATE: 2.2.2011: Due to recent demand, I am now taking limited orders for Mavericks again. I should note that about a year and a half ago or so, the computer that contained all of my customer and shipping information was stolen. Subsequently, I had some security issues with my online accounts. My eBay account, PayPal, and even the email account I used for PayPal have been completely shut down and are gone forever. I do not have ANY record at all of previous orders, and I am considering this a new endeavor. I apologize if you've tried to reach me concerning issues with past orders, but in order to do this as fairly as possible, and because I'm sure I suffered more loss than you did, I'm not going to attempt to support orders made two years ago or so.

Moving ahead, I am doing a new endeavor full time; www.uryaen.com, a site dedicated to hardware and software evaluation. I have been given a couple of recent orders, including a massive 20 gun order, so I set up shop again for limited orders. If you want a Maverick, please review the 2011 pricing. Yes, it's a little bit higher than 2009 pricing, and this is for two reasons. One: my costs are much higher, and two: My profit margins will be much different this time. I do assure you that the quality of the product is just the same. I may change and reevaluate pricing as we go along, but in the meantime, feel free to place an order, and I will get that out to you according to standard lead times. I am solidifying Rush Order pricing, but expect to pay more for a rush order.

Transformers - I will still do Transformers, and the new third movie line is coming out. Best to email for a specific quote and bear in mind that these won't be cheap.

Site information - MOST pages of this site are unchanged from 2009 and may contain outdated information. I don't have time to go through and update EVERYTHING. Email me, and what I tell you by email is the current information. I have updated the price list page, and this note, and so far, that's it.

VIDEOS and IMAGES - I am in the process of getting a new camera soon, and I will create new videos of the 60 foot Maverick, and new macro images of builds as I go along. Look for updates here.

I am anticipating somewhat of a rush, just like last time, so if you're on the fence, order now.

-Ryan

Home of the 63 foot Maverick! See new video here.

NEW! Custom Painted Transformers!

Greetings! Welcome to THE premier Custom Nerf Gun provider online.

Welcome www.mwctoys.com readers! Tonight marks a new chapter in my operation. Most of you are here because Michaels’ feature sparked your curiosity. I fully anticipate a massive influx of orders based on this story, so if you want to get an order in, and you want to be first in line, see THIS PAGE for a quick and dirty overview of my product line and to order a pre-configured package deal.

Because of the influx of new orders, there will be a backlog for the foreseeable future. In order to keep this process as fair as possible, I am implementing some new rules. Please see the this link for more information.

As we get started, make sure you follow me on Twitter. See the gadget to the right, or just add "UryaenNerf" to your Twitter client. I am tweeting all my daily workload updates, so don't forget this.

6.15.09 - CLEAR MAVERICKS NOW IN STOCK! See price list for details.

Click on the "read more" link below for extensive details and pictures.

( Special Note: This front page post is updated daily with the latest information so please be sure to check back often. New mods and pictures are added often )

The Product

My first product is the 2008 Nerf N-Strike Maverick REV-6 modified with powerful internal modifications and a custom, uniquely detailed paint scheme. See pictures.

Example of the highest tier modified and painted gun. MANY MANY hours of labor and detailing go into these projects, thus their slightly premium price point.

Seen here is the latest version of the Tier 3 “Steampunk” style paint job.

See more pictures of the above gun here.

This popular, powerful Nerf blaster retails for $10, normally comes with 6 foam darts with a suction cup head. It's a very fun toy for adults, but the color scheme makes it hard to take seriously. There is also a lot of potential for modifying the gun to make it even better and more powerful. To that end, I present Ryan Siller's Modified Maverick.

Modifications

The following is included in the “Standard Mod Package”

Barrel Load Mod - Normally the Cylinder only sticks out about halfway, making it hard to load it or spin it. I Dremel several parts from both the main gun and the Cylinder . This makes it look more like a real revolver. You can freely spin the Cylinder and then flick the gun to lock it back in. ( Not used with Drop Cylinder mod )

Spring Modifications - Spring was stretched and a spacer was added to make the plunger discharge faster. Gives more power and distance.

Note: I am currently seeking a stable supplier of replacement springs, and until I find one, I will not be using replacement springs.

Barrel Air Restrictor Mod - The posts that are on the air restrictors were removed. I drill out the restrictors as well. The main benefit is the ability to fire homemade ammo, called "Stefan's" after the person who came up with the idea. ( Not used with Barrel Upgrade mod )

Straw Mod - I cut out the Air Restrictors and hot glue a straw into the barrel. This makes it seal better and better directs the air flow. Each barrel is filled with expanding foam or hot glue, sealed, and re-enforced. This is the secret to making the darts more powerful. ( Not used with Barrel Upgrade mod )

Optional Extra Modification

NEW – Stage II POWER Mod – New for May a special new power mod is being implemented which gives considerably more power. You can see how it works here, and it is an optional mod.

When ordering, specify “Stage II” and add $10 to the listed prices below. please note that the long term viability of the gun with this mod is not known but so far many of my guns have held up for many weeks.

NEW – Upgraded Barrels – Especially potent when combined with the Stage II power mod, I hack, slash, and glue in a complete set of replacement barrels, tight as a drum and much longer than stock. The advantages are several.

Longer Distance – with more barrel to travel through, the projectile has a longer run up to maintain a straight-line velocity.
More power – A combination of tighter fit and better seal at the bottom means that more power is delivered to the ammo. This also obviates two of the standard mods.
More Accurate – Infinitely more accurate than the stock barrel. One of the chief problems with the Nerf Barrel is abysmal stock accuracy, even with custom ammo. An upgraded barrel assures accurate shots every time.

Barrels Pricing

I am still working out the process, so pricing may be in flux for a while. A lot of work and more raw material goes into this mod, so for now, I will just say that this mod will add $10 to any Maverick.

How much difference does this mod make?

Based on my testing, a gun fitted with the upgraded barrels but not the Stage II power mod groups shots consistently to 40+ feet, and with Stage II more than 50+ feet.

See video of a fully modified Maverick with the upgraded barrels here.

Note on Upgraded Barrels – There have been several questions about this. If you order Upgraded Barrels, your Maverick will fire custom ammo like a rocket but WILL NOT BE ABLE to fire official Nerf ammo. They do not fit.

NEW – Removable Cylinders– Want a quick load cylinder that pops completely out of the gun? Want to keep a couple of spares on hand for Nerf Wars? I’ll do any paintjob complete with “Drop Cylinder”. Just add $24.99 for set-up and one spare cylinder and then $19.99 each additional cylinder for fully painted guns, or $19.99 for set-up and one spare cylinder and then $14.99 each additional cylinder for non painted guns. The additional cost is to cover the modifying of the cylinder and painting. The cylinder is the most labor intensive part of the whole gun.

As per above, if you are ordering Upgraded Barrels, and want more than one cylinder, each cylinder will have to be upgraded.

Clutch Lock - Covers disassembly and permanent gluing of Cylinder Clutch. For painted guns, this makes Cylinder advancement more reliable. Required mod with the Removable Cylinders. Optional otherwise.

Premium Parts - Unlike other sellers, I purchase and use parts from many Mavericks. I pick out only the best performing parts and even screws from each set, and assemble the best possible gun for each release. A great deal of thought and effort is put into each gun.

Custom Paint Job - Entire gun is carefully sanded for many, many hours. A lot of detail work goes into this process, allowing the gun to take a new, more metallic paint job. After the base coat, the paint may be "weathered" with a different color, and this gives the whole gun a very realistic, battle worn look.
Every gun is fully painted, down to all of the moving parts. Some guns you find on eBay leave the sled, the barrel supports, and other small parts unpainted. I detail the entire gun, sanding and finishing every piece, detailing to perfection.

There are Three Tiers of pricing for my Mavericks, and two categories. This includes painted and unpainted, and modified or stock. This way you choose what you want. See below for details.
Custom Ammo - My modified guns each come with 40 1.5" dark gray custom "darts". This ammo is lighter and more front weighted than stock ammo, and far more cost effective. These are included free. Additional darts are available. See Price List for a quote.

Distances

Finally, after extensive testing, I can come out and claim that my Maverick with ALL the above mods will group shots to 63 feet. This is a HUGE leap over similar guns. Video of the measuring, marking of ammo and firing coming soon. For now, I have one video showing the firing here.

Note on ammo: Due to the nature of the mods associated with these guns, they do not fire standard Nerf ammo very well, or at all. Nerf Ammo contains a hollow core, and is fired using a spring. Because the standard ammo is hollow, less air pressure builds behind it, and thus, use of custom ammo is highly recommended.

Ryan’s Maverick Signature Series

Want the whole Enchilada? The ULTIMATE Maverick? Want the best of the best? Simply order a Signature Series, and I will produce a Maverick on order of only the finest of each part, hand selected, with EVERY mod I do, painted with a custom paint detailing that goes even beyond Tier 3. Every tiny nook and cranny is detailed, and then detailed some more.
The Signature Series includes:

Tier 3+ Paint Job
Spring Mod
Stage II Power Mod
Drop Cylinders with three complete, painted cylinders
Upgraded Barrels in Each cylinder
100 count hand picked ammo, straight, true, and tested to 50+ feet.
Matching Holster
Priority Warrantee. If your gun breaks due to normal wear and tear, I will fix it within 6 months.
Guaranteed to be a 60 foot gun
Each gun is hand signed and numbered

Each gun is thoroughly tested, and the paint macro-inspected. You will receive a gun that I would be proud to show off as my own.

Price - $249.99 plus shipping.

I realize that this sounds like a lot, but it represents many days worth of work for me, a great deal of raw materials, and is in line with the pricing of my normal guns. This is the premium product and you are welcome to order the normal guns if you don’t need so many mods. This is the only package I offer a guaranteed warrantee on.

Please allow 2-3 weeks processing time for Signature Series.

Pictures available soon, after the first order.

The Pictures -
These are the pictures of the final assembly, and corresponding Tiers of paint jobs.
The first is "Tier 1". Base coat is a metallic black or similar single color, and unlike the higher tiers, there is no weathering here. It's all shiny and new. Gun is finished, detailed, and sprayed with three coats of a glossy clear coat, as opposed to the satin coat of the other two. It's hard to see the difference in pictures, but it's shinier. This is an example of the Tier 1 price for painting, because it represents the least overall detailing. This doesn't mean that it's easy, just that it lacks the massively time consuming "weathering" effect of the other two tiers. For your order, you can choose other colors, such as brown or copper. I don't really recommend lighter colors on their own.

The second picture is "Tier 2". Base coat is a metallic black or similar single color. I then hand paint the silver onto the whole body, giving the whole gun a scratched, worn look. Gun is finished, detailed, and sprayed with three coats of satin clear coat. It looks fantastic in person, like a battle worn gunmetal gray revolver. The silver detailing is hand brushed and very labor intensive. Yours may be any color combination available in the paints that work well with this plastic.

Finally, the third picture is "Tier 3", which is the most Premium Paint Job I offer. This Tier contains a considerable amount of further layers of detail, including hand weathering each layer of paint, hand brushing additional details such as "burn/scorch" marks into the barrel and slide, and applying painstaking "rust" effect to the entire unit. This example includes: Base coat is a metallic black, and some parts are copper. This Tier also contains additional masking to make the grip of the handle a different overall color from the rest of the gun. This two stage paint process is very time consuming and is not included in the two lower Tiers in order to keep cost down. This two tone look is a slight nod to Steampunk without being overt or tacky. I then hand paint the silver/brown/rust onto the whole body, giving the whole gun a scratched, worn look. Gun is finished, detailed, and sprayed with three coats of satin clear coat. It looks amazing in person, like a battle worn gunmetal gray/copper/rusted Steampunk revolver.

Pictures truly do not do justice to this level of detail. If you want to see some specific angles, email me.

OTHER NERF GUNS

If you want a different Nerf gun painted, such as the Recon, Vulcan or Longshot, email for a quote. I will begin offering modified versions of them as I am able. For now, I will be happy to paint a stock version of any of the above to the level of perfection seen in my Mavericks. Bear in mind that this is a costly, time consuming process, so please have a clear idea of what you would like your gun to look like.

"FireFly" undergoing the painstaking sanding process I put these guns through. This one will be available in a custom Tier 4 pricing scheme. See Price List for details.

COLORS:

Available Base Colors -

Black, Graphite, Brown, and Green. It's possible for me to do others, such as Pink, by request.

Available Detail Colors -

Silver, Brown, Copper, White, and others, as available.

BARREL TIPS - I have gone back and forth on the issue of painting the tips. I am willing to offer any Tier of paint job with the tip left as orange. It still looks very nice, and I have pictures to share via email.

Pricing

There are two types of work that I do,

Painting - which includes three general Tiers of detail and pricing

Modding - which includes detailed internal modifications to allow the gun to not only fire harder, but fire custom ammo.

Pricing

Unpainted Guns - Standard modified, but unpainted Mavs are $39.99. These have the advantage of operating a bit smoother due to not having additional paint on them. Turnaround is a lot faster on these as well.

Painted Guns - NON modified, painted Mavs are the following:

Tier 1 - as described above - $39.99
Tier 2 - as described above - $49.99
Tier 3 - as described above - $59.99

Please note that while that seems like a lot of money, a great many hours over many days goes into the labor of Tiers 2 and especially 3. This is an Artisan craft, and as such, is subject to my skills, training, raw materials consumption, and just as importantly, time. It's actually not very much per hour when you break it down. I'm just here to support myself on my skills, not get rich.
Pictures of the sanding process:

I have a couple of customers so far who might be willing to share their experience working with me and offer their take on whether my work is worth the money. For serious inquires I will put you in touch. I will also be posting pictures and “reviews” very soon on their own page. I am home all day, I respond to emails immediately, and I work hard to please my clients.

Now for the whole enchilada, if you want a fully modified AND painted gun, the following prices apply with slight discount. It's easier to me to do modifications and painting on the same gun, so I'll take a few bucks off. I know it's an investment, but it's an investment in something very unique.

Fully Modified, Painted Guns are the following pricing:

Tier 1 - as described above - $49.99
Tier 2 - as described above - $59.99
Tier 3 - as described above - $69.99

All modified guns come with 40 rounds of custom ammo.

Please note, I'm pretty easy going, and I'm flexible on payment terms, or even possible trades. There's always lots of stuff I need, so if you own a business and want to trade something cost effective to you, let me know. I'm into computers, gadgets, toys, especially Transformers, DVDs, games, and even household stuff like kitchen supplies. Just email me.

Quantity Discount - The labor and materials costs per order are pretty tight as is, but if you help me out with a large order, I'll do what I can to accommodate with a discount. Due to the varying degree of costs associated with each tier, I can't offer a flat discount. I will consider each order on a case by case basis.

NOTE for eBay auctions – Due to a recent lowering of my prices, and the fees associated with eBay and PayPal, all auctions for single guns will be a flat $10 higher than direct. I transact many sales directly via PayPal, but if you really want a gun, and must do it through eBay, this additional fee will apply.

AMMO PRICING

Additional ammo is available with notice for the following: ( Light Ammo )

50 - $9.99
100 - $14.99
200 - $24.99

Please ask about larger quantities. I'm just one guy ya know :)

Terms of Sale:

Fully modified and painted Mavericks are very labor intensive. I thoroughly test each one after final assembly. These guns are very sturdy, but are no longer toys. They should never be given to children, due to the modifications in place. They fire more powerfully than the stock versions, and are meant for adult collectors.

Turnaround Time: - Greatly depends on workload. See the right side of the page for my Tweets on my workload.

Workload Times - ( Note that these times are PER ORDER, not a quote on actual shipping dates )

Unpainted, modified guns - Take about 2 days to process, including curing of sealants. If I have no other work orders, your order will ship on the third day after I receive payment via Paypal. If you wish to pay via certified check or money order, I will begin order after money is cleared.

Painted, non-modified guns Take 2 days for sanding and masking, and then:

Tier 1 - at least two days for painting, detailing, touch up, and clear coating. I HIGHLY recommend allowing an additional day to fully dry so that I can check to make sure there is no further touch up to be done. - Shipping as soon as fourth day.
Tier 2 - at least three days for painting, detailing, touch up, and clear coating. I HIGHLY recommend allowing an additional day to fully dry so that I can check to make sure there is no further touch up to be done. - Shipping as soon as fifth day.
Tier 3 - at least five days for painting, detailing, touch up, and clear coating. I HIGHLY recommend allowing an additional day to fully dry so that I can check to make sure there is no further touch up to be done. - Shipping as soon as seventh day or later.

Fully Painted AND Modified Guns take the following:

NOTE: ALL modifications are performed and allowed to dry and cure before sanding and painting takes place. This is to assure that the paint process is not interrupted and assures a high quality finish. Therefore, fully painted and modified guns take a while.

( Exception - Orders including Removable Cylinders will take longer. This is due to the complex interaction of the painting/modding/clearcoating of the Cylinders. Therefore, add at least 1-2 days to these orders. )
Modifications - 2 days for modifications, 2 days for sanding and masking, and then:

Tier 1 - at least two days for painting, detailing, touch up, and clear coating. I HIGHLY recommend allowing an additional day to fully dry so that I can check to make sure there is no further touch up to be done. - Shipping as soon as sixth day.

Tier 2 - at least three days for painting, detailing, touch up, and clear coating. I HIGHLY recommend allowing an additional day to fully dry so that I can check to make sure there is no further touch up to be done. - Shipping as soon as seventh day.

Tier 3 - at least five days for painting, detailing, touch up, and clear coating. I HIGHLY recommend allowing an additional day to fully dry so that I can check to make sure there is no further touch up to be done. - Shipping as soon as ninth day or later.

Workload delay- If I have a large workload, I'll let you know upfront. Basically for every two orders per day beyond a first, I would add an additional day to processing time. I won't rush any order, and these projects are very labor intensive. I will always alert you as I go along. I also take extensive pictures of each gun I do from original package to the packing of your order. If you want, I can send pictures each day. ( Not during Backlog conditions )

Ship Dates -

Whether Direct or through eBay the rule is the same. I will always guarantee a quality product, but I will not guarantee an exact ship date. I do my best to get orders out quickly, and I once did a Tier 3, non modified in three days for a rush order.

For eBay customers - As part of the agreement of my listing, I sent you to read and agree to the terms of sale on this blog. By purchasing, you agree to this shipping policy, regardless of the 15 day max processing time on eBay. Keep this in mind when you leave feedback. Would you rather have a quality product in a reasonable time, or a less than perfect product quickly?

AGE -

No one under the age of 18 may order. I will not sell to minors, nor will I be held responsible for a minor purchasing through an adult.

The Customer is NOT Always Right -

A new policy. I’ve received a number of very rude messages via eBay. If you don’t like something about my operation, feel free to not buy. If you are rude, impatient, or a total douche, I will not sell to you. I’m not particularly PC, and even though I’m extremely prompt and polite to those who follow my rules, I’m just as quick to ignore those who don’t. So if you’re bossy, pushy, impatient or rude, take it elsewhere.

NEW!! - Serviceability Agreement

As my operation matures, I am finding that many of my customers are expressing an interest in protecting their investment and have requested that I offer something akin to an extended warranty. Starting now, I am offering a special Serviceability Agreement, to cover things like attrition, and accidental damage.

What this means to you -

Are you drooling over those custom painted and modified guns but want a prudent approach to protecting your investment? I will repair or replace your gun, for a period up to one year, for a small additional cost.

Coverage -

Term Length - 1 Year.

Term Coverage - If gun is damaged, worn, or breaks down, I will repair or replace it, no questions asked. This means that I don't care if you stepped on it, threw it against a wall, dropped it, or what happened, by paying for the insurance, and shipping me your gun, I will repair or replace it. It's like having a guaranteed gun refresh.

Your policy begins from the day of your receipt of the gun.

As proof of your policy you will receive a printed, HAND signed copy of your policy noting these terms and the exact gun you ordered.

See this page for full details and terms.

SHIPPING

USA - Shipping to the USA is via Priority Mail for $18 with insurance and tracking.

Shipping to other countries varies, but here are some examples:

To Canada with insurance - $30
To Mexico with 75 indemnity - $28
To Japan with insurance - $50
To Australia with insurance - $50
To England with insurance - $50

Please inquire for your country. I will ship anywhere!

INTERNATIONAL EBAY CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE – Due to a recent glut of international shipments and the fact that I’m just one guy trying to make a living here, I’m happy to send guns to anywhere, but remember that if you purchase your gun THROUGH eBay I do NOT have access to the funds until AFTER you receive your order. That means that I may not have the money to ship it right away.
I know that they made the new policy to protect buyers but I wouldn’t go through all the trouble to make this site, and sell through eBay just to steal one order worth of shipping but the new PayPal policy makes it VERY difficult to sell internationally. Every eBay auction I put up sells overseas, which is fine, but If you want your order shipped sooner, you will need to either:

Leave feedback to release the funds.
Choose local pickup for shipping through eBay then separately PayPal the proper shipping amount.

Neither method is following eBays’ rules but most of my blog customers are tired of the new policies as well. Sorry but that’s how it is.

Quantity - If you are ordering four or more, discounts may apply. For very large orders I may be able to pack them in a larger box. It will depend on distance and time required.

Returns - Due to the highly personal and labor intensive nature of the work, I am hesitant to offer a formal return policy. If your gun for some reason is not working properly, I will inspect and either repair or replace it at my discretion within 7 days. If it looks abused, or tampered with, I cannot offer any refund. If you busted it up, and you admit it but you want a new one, I'll be happy to trade in the old gun for a discount on a new one, depending on how much of your gun I can salvage for parts. I'm just one guy trying to make a living, so that's the best I can offer at this time. If you want better protection, purchase the Serviceability Agreement.
The one exception is the Signature Series, see price list for details.

Attrition -

Please note that modified Nerf guns are plastic toys being subjected to considerable stress. Over time, they will lose power. This is not a flaw, nor is it something I will consider returns for. Bear in mind the limitations of plastic. If you want me to “refresh” your gun, I will do so for a fee, depending on the parts needed. If you want better protection, purchase the Serviceability Agreement. If you are not comfortable with this idea, but still want a beautifully painted gun, buy one without the mods. They last longer.

Conclusion - Thank you for reading, and I hope I have addressed your every concern. If you have questions, want to place an order, or want to discuss a custom project, email me at uryaen@yahoo.com.
If you want to see the full size pictures, or you'd like me to shoot a particular angle, just shoot me an email. Thanks and I look forward to helping you.

Current Workload

2010-03-09T14:40:00.001-08:00

Updated Daily:

Workload Status as of 08.14.09 - 9am:

* * * ?? Day Delay * * *

I'm experiencing some extended technical and logistic issues. No new orders are being accepted at the moment until I am caught up. For the few orders still waiting for shipment, your order IS coming, but continued delays have forced me to be offline for a while. I sent out an email, if you didn't get it, the gist is that I'm working on it, and orders will go out when they can.

For everyone with orders in, or incoming, please understand that while I will always promise a high quality product, I won't always promise a ship date. I have a lot of orders, and sometimes, as it is wont to do with paint and plastics, a piece or two may not come out perfect, and additional touch up doesn't always make it right. I would rather scrap those pieces, and do new ones than ship an inferior product. I do my best to keep everyone informed individually, but remember to always check this blog for the latest information on my workload.

NOTE: Due to the new policies and fees of eBay, some eBay orders will incur additional delays, especially international orders, which seem to be the most common for me at the moment. As I have to pay the huge shipping fees out of pocket until the order arrives, if you ordered from overseas, you will need to be patient. Thanks.

More Notes:

Each day, I will update the workload status to reflect about how many projects I have going at once, and how this might affect my normal shipping quotes, seen on the main page.

A 1-4 day delay indicates a fairly light workload, but will still delay new orders or ebay auctions ending that day by the indicated amount.

If my workload is very heavy, I will not post new ebay auctions, and this status will indicate that a backorder workload is in effect. When this happens, I will accept deposits for orders via paypal directly, for 25%. When I am ready to begin that order, I will send you an email and the remainder will be due. This will usually happen if my workload is backed up more than a week. I anticipate an upcoming backlog due to an article coming out on a major website soon.

Get your orders in now!

Reviews for Tier 3 - Steampunk:

"I'm absolutely floored man. First impression when I unwrapped it was awe inspiring. It looks damn good in the pics, but i found myself checking the heft of it to make sure it wasn't a real pistol. The attention to detail, the look, everything about it is utterly glorious. Still a spot rough around the grips and what not, but i'm sure with enough handling it will have that well worn feel to it as well. Can't find a single thing about it that i don't like." - SA

"Wow, you sir, are a true artisan of the modern age. I am a bit of an artist myself. In my spare time, I like to design spacecraft and write a sci-fi screenplay. Before I sound like a pretentious oaf, I'll add that it's merely a pastime of mine but I hope you can see where I get my perspective.

In short, the paint job on the Maverick is worthy of a gallery piece. The detail gone into the 'rust' effect is meticulous and the way the gloss has that hauntingly eerie sheen truly captures the eye. You're not selling guns, you are selling art, except that your canvas is a toy gun. I can appreciate art coming from the unexpected and I can safely say I appreciate, nay, I admire your work. It must take a lot of discipline to accomplish what you do.

I'm also sure it must pain you at times to part with your pieces considering the effort you infuse in them. Personally, I don't see how you do it." - WS

Review for T1 - Shiny Black:

"I got my gun a few days ago and its fantastic. The thing looks gorgeous and mechanically has exceeded my expectations.Every time I pull the trigger I know it'll go the distance, fly true, and look damn good doing it. Well done, Ryan!"-M

NEW! Custom Painted Transformers!

2009-08-09T10:25:00.001-07:00

Greetings all,

Owing to the success of my Nerf Gun modding and painting business, I’ve decided to expand my offerings. I’m a HUGE fan of Transformers, and I’ve noticed that custom painted Transformers seem to do really well on eBay, so it’s a natural fit for me.

I decided to start by doing a test painting on one of my 07’ Bumblebee figures. See pictures below. As you can see, it came out wonderfully. I did a more realistic brushed metal look, with rust. This overall look has been extremely popular on the Steampunk Nerf guns, and it looks even better here. Notice how the gears are rusted more than the other wear parts? This is my attention to detail and realism at work.

2007 Stealth Bumblebee; Battle worn with scraped metal on the car parts. More pictures at the bottom.

Starting today, I am taking pre-orders for certain models. The first offerings will be the:

Bumblebee – Including:

Human Alliance Bumblebee with Sam – painted in brushed metal with new yellow paint and scratched, battle worn details.

ROTF Bumblebee – Choose from shiny and new, or battle worn, like the Stealth Bumblebee featured on this page.

2007 Stealth Bumblebee – Featured on this page. Note that this Bumblebee will cost $10 additional and will incur an additional week or more waiting time to purchase one from eBay.

As my collection of paints and supplies grows I will add other figures. Pretty much any Transformer is going to be available. The main idea behind most of the customs will be to make the details more realistic.

To order:

Same overall process as buying Nerf Guns from me, but simpler due to having fewer add-ins and options. Send a PayPal payment to uryaenebay@gmail.com:

Indicate figured desired. Be exact. Don’t just say “Bumblebee”. Tell me if you want the “Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee” or “Human Alliance Bumblebee”.
Indicate if you want JUST the realistic paint job, or if you want it battle worn a bit, with scratches and rust.
If your order requires additional parts culled from a copy of that figure or another figure, you will be charged extra. The charge will be equal to the retail cost of the additional figure plus a prorated fee based on the additional work. This is for cases where you might want an extra set of weapons and missiles painted to match, but don’t need the whole figure. Email me first in these cases.
Shipping prices are TBD, but will be in the $15 range domestic. Intl is TBD. If in doubt, just send $15 and I’ll let you know if more is indicated when I’m ready to ship.

That’s it. Standard workload rules apply. Watch my tweets.

MINI FAQ:

Why should I buy from you?

I am a recognized and established toy modder/painter. I have a review with Michael Crawford, I’m mentioned in the twitter for Big Bad Toy Store, and my clients give me and my service rave reviews. If something isn’t right, or takes a long time, I always go the extra SEVERAL miles to make sure that it’s right.

Basing the business model on the same ideals which have made me a successful Nerf Modder, I will offer unique services such as a replacement warranty similar to the one I offer Nerf clients. More details on this soon.

Will you do XXXX figure?

Most likely. I’m still working out the process and purchasing different paints and brushes and other supplies. Note that I do not have access to an airbrush at this time, so I may be limiting my work to effects which are possible with brushes. This means that for most of the car parts, I may leave the glossy car part alone, and only paint the robot parts, and then clear coat the car in glossy clear. I will announce and post pictures as I go alone, but feel free to order ANY current production model, meaning the ROTF movie line.

If I get a lot of orders and can afford the several hundred dollars, I will buy a new airbrush and start offering that service as well.

How much for XXXX?

I have been studying the eBay results of custom Transformers carefully. Based on my research, my work is on par with and worth the following amounts. Pricing subject to adjustment but not by much. This is the pricing structure going forward. I feel that these price points are worth the time and materials to me, and represent a very fair value to the client. My Nerf pricing has been vetted as a great value, and so without further ado:

Deluxe – $74.99

Voyager – $149.99

Human Alliance – $174.99- ( Due to increased detail )

Leader - $249.99( Detailing is higher, and much more paint is used )

Supreme – Example would be the new Devastator figure. I’ve seen auctions in the 600-1000 range. I’ll do one if requested, but I lack the funds to buy one myself and do it ahead of time. I’m greatly looking forward to doing one though, so feel free to order.

Bear in mind that like my Nerf Guns, prices may be in flux for a while, and may settle higher or lower than this. If you have enjoyed my work in the past, and are interested in an order, don’t delay.

Special "Package" Deals

2009-07-19T11:45:00.001-07:00

UPDATE 2.2.2011: Pricing and information below outdated. Please email for current information. uryaen@yahoo.com

Due to the backlog in effect, I will only be accepting orders for the named/numbered packages below as described. This will help alleviate the extreme backlog wait, and allow me to overlap a lot of guns at once.
This set represents a very broad scope of my product line. If you must have something different than what is pictured here, you must place a non-refundable "waitlist" order. By purchasing your waitlist spot, you are making a commitment to buy at a later date when my workload returns to more normal levels. Waitlist deposit is $25 regardless of product ordered. Watch my Tweets for updates and I will email the waitlist when workload is normal again.
If you are in a massive rush, and don’t mind paying for a rush order, add $25 to your order, and I will put you on the priority list. The priority list is still first come, first served, so if you need it now, don’t hesitate to order.
Shipping:
Domestic USA: - $18 with insurance and delivery confirmation
Canada - $30 with insurance
The rest of the world - $50 with insurance
HOW TO ORDER:

Choose a package.
Decide whether you want the "Serviceability Agreement".
Decide if you need a "Rush Order" ( see link #6 )
Start a PayPal payment to uryaenebay@gmail.com
For amount, add Package price, Your shipping price, and rush/warranty price if applicable.
Choose "Goods"
In the subject line, put "Order - NAME OR NUMBER OF COMBO - WARRANTY ( if ordering ) - RUSH ( if ordering ) - MY NAME"
In the body, write the same info, and anything else you need. If you have specific customs needs, make sure you tell me here!
You're done. I'll send a confirmation email in the order that they are received.

Backlog Ordering and Shipping Rules:

2009-07-19T10:12:00.003-07:00

Backlog Ordering and Shipping Rules:

When an extreme backlog is in effect, such as now, the following rules will supersede similar rules elsewhere on the site, in order to execute orders in a fair and efficient manner.

First Rule: Subscribe to my twitter updates. That’s how I keep everyone informed of what I am doing day to day. I will not respond to emails asking what I am working on or whether I am working on your order. If I stop to answer several dozen of those per day, I wouldn’t have time to make guns.

1. No custom orders. All new orders will be for pre-configured “Package Deals”. These package deals represent a very thorough spread of my product line. Everyone will be able to find something that fits them perfectly!

2. No “Ammo Only” orders will be accepted.

3. Ammo is restricted to the amounts stated in the Package deals. Reasonable additional ammo accommodations for gun orders may be accepted. Indicate a request when ordering, but don't include the extra money yet. I'll email when your order is ready, and if I have ammo available, I'll let you know.

4. Orders are restricted to the Maverick guns. I do offer painted and modified guns of other styles, but until the backlog is caught up, I simply do not have time to do them. There are exceptions:

i. Exceptions to above: If you want one of the follow guns: FireFly, Vulcan, or Longshot, you may place an order for a PAINTED, but not modified gun. All bigger guns are considered to be Tier 4, and carry an extra premium. Email for a specific quote. Note that your order will be worked on during other orders and will take much longer.

ii. During backlog, I will only accept ONE order for a larger gun per month. I will inform you if I already have one when you email.

5. Orders will be shipped in batches, on a specific day each week or bi-weekly.

6. If you are in a massive rush, and don’t mind paying for a rush order, add $25 to your order, and I will put you on the priority list. The priority list is still first come, first served, so if you need it now, don’t hesitate to order.

7. I’m happy to accept cash, but bear in mind that I will not put your order into the queue until I have cash in hand. If you must send paper money, instead of a money order, make sure to wrap it well, and send it securely via priority mail, NOT regular mail. I’ve let a couple of people do it, but it makes me too nervous. Best to get a money order.

8. If you send a postal money order, there may be a delay as I do not visit the regular post office often. If you live near a Walmart, use them instead, it’s much easier for me, and faster for you.

9. NO personal checks. No exceptions.

10. Finally, it is worth restating here. I will ALWAYS guarantee a quality product, but I will NOT guarantee a shipping date. Paying for priority list helps, but I will not ship a gun that I would not be proud to own myself. Therefore, it could take a number of weeks or more. Please be patient and thank you all for your support in making us THE PREMIERE source for customized Nerf Guns online.

Quick Ordering Guide

2009-07-19T10:12:00.001-07:00

Ok, you’re just here for the quick lowdown. Maybe you’re new to Nerf guns, or maybe you’ve never heard of modifying them. For the sake of celerity, this is the basic idea:

For any of a number of different Nerf N-Strike guns one can buy, I disassemble and highly modify them for the purposes of function and power. Function usually meaning the ability to fire our custom made ammo, which is cheaper and better than Nerf ammo, and Power meaning the ability to fire that ammo with great velocity.

On top of this, I add any of a number of styles of custom paint jobs. Look at the galleries on this site for examples. The more detailed guns are said to have the look and feel of a real gun. Choose your style!

Once all this is done, we have a collector worthy piece. 12-16 hours of labor goes into each gun. I do all the work myself. See the rest of the site for more details.

And that’s the quick of it. If you’re ready to order ( and if you are I highly suggest that you do so quickly, ) consider ordering a pre-configured package by name. Look at the Package Deals page, and select a package. To keep things simple, I have only three options for shipping:

Domestic USA: - $18 with insurance and delivery confirmation

Canada - $30 with insurance

The rest of the world - $50 with insurance

Right now, I won’t be offering a shipping discount for more than one gun, as each gun is shipped in its own box. If you order several guns from me, I may be able to put them in a much bigger box, but I will evaluate that on a case by case basis.

If you want to protect your investment, see this page. I offer the ONLY industry “Serviceability Agreement”. This is both a promise and a warranty. If your gun breaks within a year, I will fix or replace it. See the link for full details. If you opt in for the protection, you will receive a hand signed copy of your warranty, just add $25 at the time of ordering and state “Warranty” in the PayPal field.

If you are in a massive rush, and don’t mind paying for a rush order, add $25 to your order, and I will put you on the priority list. The priority list is still first come, first served, so if you need it now, don’t hesitate to order.

So to order, take the package price, add your appropriate shipping, optional Warranty, and send a PayPal payment for that amount to uryaenebay@gmail.com. Make sure to fill in the note section with the name of the package you are ordering and Warranty if applicable.

That’s it. Your order will be confirmed by me personally in the order that it was received. Shipping will depend on workload and order, so get yours in soon.

Note: Due to the priority of orders, I may not be able to answer general questions. Everything you need to know is on this site. I have built a very comprehensive amount of information here and emails only containing questions such as "how far do your guns shoot" will be ignored.

NEW!! - Serviceability Agreement

2009-07-11T10:34:00.001-07:00

NEW!! - Serviceability Agreement

As my operation matures, I am finding that many of my customers are expressing an interest in protecting their investment and have requested that I offer something akin to an extended warranty. Starting now, I am offering a special Serviceability Agreement, to cover things like attrition, and accidental damage.

What this means to you -

Are you drooling over those custom painted and modified guns but want a prudent approach to protecting your investment? I will repair or replace your gun, for a period up to one year, for a small additional cost.

Coverage -

Term Length - 1 Year.

Term Coverage - If gun is damaged, worn, or breaks down, I will repair or replace it, no questions asked. This means that I don't care if you stepped on it, threw it against a wall, dropped it, or what happened, by paying for the insurance, and shipping me your gun, I will repair or replace it. It's like having a guaranteed gun refresh.

Your policy begins from the day of your receipt of the gun.

As proof of your policy you will receive a printed, HAND signed copy of your policy noting these terms and the exact gun you ordered.

Pricing -

All Maverick Guns - $25

Others TBA

Terms -

Coverage must be purchased with gun.

Coverage may not be invoked in less than 45 days. This is to prevent abuse of the system.

Coverage covers ONE replacement. Additional policy may be purchased for replacement gun. Secondary policy pricing TBD.

Customer is responsible for all shipping costs.

Ship date of new gun not guaranteed and depends on workload.

How to Invoke Policy -

You broke your toy.

1. First thing is to send me an email. I'll add a note on your account that you need a replacement gun. Describe what happened, if anything, and why you need a new gun. Did a single part break? Is the whole thing just worn down? How much damage is it? This information helps me determine what I need to do and gives me the ability to give you a quote on shipping times.

2. Send the required return shipping via PayPal to me. Likely this is going to be the same amount I initially charged you. Feel free to note in field that you are paying shipping for a warranty repair.

3. Pack your gun up and put it in the mail back to me. You can use any method you like, but you MUST get delivery confirmation. THIS is your only assurance that I received your gun. This protects both parties.

4. Once I receive your gun, I will tear it down, note what needs replacing/fixing, and render you a new gun. Your new gun may contain parts from your old gun, depending on what is damaged. If the body of your T3 is still perfect but the internals blew up, I'm going to just replace the internals, etc.

5. I will ship your repaired/replaced/tested gun back to you via the method you paid for, with delivery confirmation.

6. Enjoy.

UPDATED 6.23.2009. New Lower Prices!

Due to the popularity of my guns, and some of the rave reviews I’m getting, I’m lowering prices in several places. Tier 3 modified guns are now $69.99. There is now a linear $10 progression between each paint tier to make it easier to understand. A couple of items have gone up by $5, to create a much easier to understand pricing table. See table for new pricing. All prices are final, and represent a very aggressive price point for the premium product presented.

NOTE for eBay auctions – Due to the recent lowering of my prices, and the fees associated with eBay and PayPal, all auctions for single guns will be a flat $10 higher than direct. I transact many sales directly via PayPal, but if you really want a gun, and must do it through eBay, this additional fee will apply.

To order, choose a gun type, quantity, options, and shipping, and then email me at uryaen@yahoo.com to discuss the details. Please note that this is NOT my PayPal address. My PayPal address is uryaenebay@gmail.com.

I am experimenting with fully integrated paypal buttons, but paypals' link system is SO flakey, I don't trust it. So for now, we're going to stick to the simple way.

Cash Policy – Recently I have allowed two orders to be done via cash. One was a money order, and one was paper cash. I will take any order you want with cash, but note that your order will not enter the queue until I have the cash in hand. Thanks.

Does not include:
Stage II Power
Upgraded Barrels
Removable Cylinder

These mods may be added at the standard pricing below with the following exceptions:

Removable Cylinder - These are subject to availability. Please email for a quote. Sacrificing additional Clear Mavs for this will incur additional cost.

Upgraded Barrels – If you want “Clear” Upgraded Barrels, please add $10 additional and at least an extra week onto the current wait time, due to delays in acquiring clear barrel material from my online supplier.
59.99

Signature Series See front page for full details. Tier 3 Paint, 3 Removable cylinders with upgraded barrels, 100 hand picked ammo, and warranty. 60+ foot gun! 249.99

NOTE on Signature Series pricing: Price is based on additional materials and labor. I have had some inquiry of confusion on this matter. This package contains a fully Tier 3 painted gun, which represents approximately 16 hours of hand sanding, painting and detailing, and every modification I do, which is a few more hours worth of cutting, sanding, gluing, etc. Each gun comes with three entire cylinders containing upgraded barrels. This means that MY base cost for the gun and cylinders ALONE is more than $40 ABOVE the base materials costs of the gun alone, which is around $16. Each cylinder requires a considerable amount of hand painting, barrel alignment and other prep work. In addition, the package contains a $20 holster, made separately, 100 hand picked ammo, and an industry exclusive warrantee. If you even just add up the basic costs based on my other prices, you will see that even sans warrantee, this represents a $200+ package, without taking into account additional overhead, replacement costs, my shipping cost for the holster, or any additional profit for what is a very labor intensive package. I have priced my package as low as I intend to do, and if you feel that it is unreasonable, you are welcome to not buy it, but it does represent a very rational pricing scheme for a premium product. Thank you.

OPTIONS

Stage II Power Mod Greatly increases power, but may reduce possible lifespan of gun or at least mod 9.99

Upgraded Barrels Longer Distance, More Power, More Accurate 9.99

Screw Replacement Set of outer screws. Much stronger than stock, will stand up to abuse over time. Less susceptible to stripping. 5.99

Clutch Lock Covers disassembly and permanent gluing of Cylinder Clutch. For painted guns, this makes Cylinder advancement more reliable. 4.99

Removable Cylinders Set up and 1 Extra Adds ability to remove Cylinder. Set up and one extra Painted Cylinder 24.99

Removable Cylinders / Extra Cylinders One extra Painted Cylinder 19.99

Removable Cylinders Set up and 1 Extra Adds ability to remove Cylinder. Set up and one extra NON Painted Cylinder 19.99

Removable Cylinders / Extra Cylinders One extra NON Painted Cylinder 14.99

Tier 4 FireFly – Painted, non Modded. The Firefly is VERY detailed, and requires a HUGE amount of hand sanding. The level of work involved in painting is equal to at least 5 Mavericks. I won’t be charging the equivalent, I’m charging for about 4. Therefore, I am implementing new Tiers for the larger, more detailed guns. Tier 4 is the standard for the FF. This includes base colour, and all detail areas hand sanded and painted in up to 5 colours. 99.99

Tier 4 Firefly – Painted and Modified Basic AR removal and painting. Allows use of custom ammo. More mods TBA 119.99

Tier 2 – OD Camo With Removable Barrels

2009-06-23T17:08:00.001-07:00

A recently completed Custom Job, this was a painstaking job, involving a lot of extra materials, and a complex but subtle paint job.

A classic style. If you are a fan of M.A.S.H. or just a fan of OD based camo, this scheme will appeal to you.
Available in any gun, this is a Tier 2 Paint Job. I will also finish with battle damage, rust, or other effects.
The gun below is no longer available for sale, but I will create a new one with either straw mod or Upgraded Barrels, and available Stage II power.
Look for an updated version of Desert Camo next!

IN STOCK NOW! Clear Mavericks. ( 7.19.09 - Only one left )

I have a number of Clear Mavericks in stock. These rares are ready for modding. I will do any modifications that I do to normal Mavs.

Note that all internal and some external parts, as well as the front of the guns are still orange. They are not made ENTIRELY of clear plastic. As such, those parts will either remain orange or may be painted a different color. The base price for a standard set of mods is $59.99. If you wish to order a clear Mav with extras such as Stage II or Upgraded Barrels, standard pricing applies.

More pictures are forthcoming, I’m just super busy with orders right now. Enjoy this teaser shot!

Ryan’s Custom Nerf Guns in Spanish

2009-06-04T22:16:00.001-07:00

Return to English site here.

(( Start Translation here ))

Home of the 63 foot Maverick! See new video here.

Greetings! My name is Ryan Siller, and I am offering customized Nerf Guns. I have a great deal of information to go over, so let's get started!

UPDATE! Due to the popularity of my guns, and some of the rave reviews I’m getting, I’m lowering prices in several places. See here for details.

( Special Note: This front page post is updated daily with the latest information so please be sure to check back often. New mods and pictures are added often )

My first product is the 2008 Nerf N-Strike Maverick REV-6 modified with powerful internal modifications and a custom, uniquely detailed paint scheme. See pictures.

Example of the highest tier modified and painted gun. MANY MANY hours of labor and detailing go into these projects, thus their slightly premium price point.

Seen here is the latest version of the Tier 3 “Steampunk” style paint job.

This is a very popular, powerful Nerf blaster. Retails for $8-10, normally comes with 6 foam darts with a suction cup head. It's a very fun toy for adults, but the color scheme makes it hard to take seriously. There is also a lot of potential for modifying the gun to make it even better and more powerful. To that end, I present Ryan Siller's Modified Maverick.

Mod List:

Barrel Load Mod - Normally the Barrel only sticks out about halfway, making it hard to load it or spin it. I cut several parts from both the main gun and the barrel. This makes it look more like a real revolver. You can freely spin the barrel and then flick the gun to lock it back in. ( Not used with Drop Cylinder mod )

Spring Modifications - Spring was stretched and a spacer was added to make the plunger discharge faster. Gives more power and distance.

Note: I am currently seeking a stable supplier of replacement springs, and until I find one, I will not be using replacement springs.

Straw Mod - I cut out the Air Restrictors and hot glue a straw into the barrel. It makes it seal better and better directs the air flow. Each barrel is filled with expanding foam or hot glue, sealed, and re-enforced. This is the secret to making the darts more powerful. ( Not used with Barrel Upgrade mod )

NEW – Stage II POWER Mod – New for May a special new power mod is being implemented which gives considerably more power. I am keeping the details of this mod under wraps, and it is an optional mod.

When ordering, specify “stage II” and add $10 to the listed prices below. please note that the long term viability of the gun with this mod is not known.

Longer Distance – with more barrel to travel through, the projectile has a longer run up to maintain a straight-line velocity.
More power – A combination of tighter fit and better seal at the bottom means that more power is delivered to the ammo. This also obviates two of the standard mods.
More Accurate – Infinitely more accurate than the stock barrel. One of the chief problems with the Nerf Barrel is abysmal stock accuracy, even with custom ammo. An upgraded barrel assures accurate shots every time.

Mod Pricing

I am still working out the process, so pricing may be in flux for a while. A lot of work and more raw material goes into this mod, so for now, I will just say email me for a quote based on what and how many of what you are ordering. This mod will most likely be in the $20 ballpark.

How much difference does this mod make?

Based on my testing, a gun fitted with the upgraded barrels but not the Stage II power mod groups shots consistently to 40+ feet, and with Stage II more than 50+ feet.

See video of a fully modified Maverick with the upgraded barrels here.

NEW – Removable DROP Cylinders– Want a quick load cylinder that pops completely out of the gun? Want to keep a couple of spares on hand for Nerf Wars? I’ll do any paintjob complete with “Drop Cylinder”. Just add $30 for set-up and one spare cylinder and then $25 each additional cylinder for fully painted guns, or $25 for set-up and one spare cylinder and then $20 each additional cylinder for non painted guns. The additional cost is to cover the modifying of the cylinder and painting. The cylinder is the most labor intensive part of the whole gun.

As per above, if you are ordering Upgraded Barrels, and want more than one cylinder, each cylinder will have to be upgraded. Pricing TBD.

Pictures and Video coming soon!

Premium Parts - Unlike other sellers, I purchase and use parts from many Mavericks. I pick out only the best performing parts and even screws from each set, and assemble the best possible gun for each release. A great deal of thought and effort is put into each gun.

Every gun is fully painted, down to all of the moving parts. Some guns you find on ebay leave the sled, the barrel supports, and other small parts unpainted. I detail the entire gun, sanding and finishing every piece, detailing to perfection.

There are Three Tiers of pricing for my Mavericks, and two categories. This includes painted and unpainted, and modified or stock. This way you choose what you want. See below for details.

Custom Ammo - My modified guns each come with 40 1.5" dark gray custom "darts". This ammo is lighter and more front weighted than stock ammo, and far more cost effective. These are included free. Additional darts are available. Please email for a quote.

Distances

Note on ammo: Due to the nature of the mods associated with these guns, they do not fire standard Nerf ammo very well, or at all. Nerf Ammo contains a hollow core, and is fired using a spring and plastic piece that hits the back of the dart, creating the initial drive. Because the standard ammo is hollow, less air pressure builds behind it, and thus, use of custom ammo is highly recommended.

Ryan’s Maverick Signature Series

The Signature Series includes:

Tier 3+ Paint Job
Spring Mod
Stage II Power Mod
Drop Cylinders with three complete, painted cylinders
Upgraded Barrels in Each cylinder
100 count hand picked ammo, straight, true, and tested to 50+ feet.
Matching Holster
Priority Warrantee. If your gun breaks due to normal wear and tear, I will fix it within 6 months.
Guaranteed to be a 60 foot gun
Each gun is hand signed and numbered

Each gun is thoroughly tested, and the paint macro-inspected. You will receive a gun that I would be proud to show off as my own.

Price - $300 plus shipping.

I realize that this sounds like a lot, but it represents many days worth of work for me, a great deal of raw materials, and is in line with the pricing of my normal guns. This is the premium product and you are welcome to order the normal guns if you don’t need so many mods. This is the only package I offer a guaranteed warrantee on.

Please allow 2-3 weeks processing time for Signature Series.

Pictures available soon, after the first order.

The Pictures -

These are the pictures of the final assembly, and corresponding Tiers of paint jobs.

The first is "Tier 1". Base coat is a metallic black, and unlike the other two, there is no weathering here. It's all shiny and new. Gun is finished, detailed, and sprayed with three coats of a glossy clear coat, as opposed to the satin coat of the other two. It's hard to see the difference in pictures, but it's shinier. This is an example of the Tier 1 price for painting, because it represents the least overall detailing. This doesn't mean that it's easy, just that it lacks the massively time consuming "weathering" effect of the other two tiers. For your order, you can choose other colors, such as brown. I don't really recommend lighter colors on their own.

The second picture is "Tier 2". Base coat is a metallic black. I then hand painted the silver onto the whole body, giving the whole gun a scratched, worn look. Gun is finished, detailed, and sprayed with three coats of satin clear coat. It looks fantastic in person, like a battle worn gunmetal gray revolver. The silver detailing is hand brushed and very labor intensive. Yours may be any color combination available in the paints that work well with this plastic.

Finally, the third picture is "Tier 3", which is the most Premium Paint Job I offer. This Tier contains a considerable amount of further layers of detail, including hand weathering each layer of paint, hand brushing additional details such as "burn/scorch" marks into the barrel and slide, and applying painstaking "rust" effect to the entire unit. Base coat is a metallic black, and some parts are copper. This Tier also contains additional masking to make the grip of the handle a different overall color from the rest of the gun. This two stage paint process is very time consuming and is not included in the two lower Tiers in order to keep cost down. This two tone look is a slight nod to Steampunk without being overt or tacky. I then hand paint the silver/brown/rust onto the whole body, giving the whole gun a scratched, worn look. Gun is finished, detailed, and sprayed with three coats of satin clear coat. It looks amazing in person, like a battle worn gunmetal gray/copper/rusted Steampunk revolver.

Pictures truly do not do justice to this level of detail. If you want to see some higher resolution images, email me.

OTHER NERF GUNS

COLORS:

Available Base Colors -

Black, Graphite, Brown, and Green

Available Detail Colors -

Silver, Brown, Copper, White, and others, as available.

BARREL TIPS - I have gone back and forth on the issue of painting the tips. I am willing to offer any Tier of paint job with the tip left as orange. It still looks very nice, and I have pictures to share via email.

Pricing

There are two types of work that I do,

Painting - which includes three general Tiers of detail and pricing

Modding - which includes detailed internal modifications to allow the gun to not only fire harder, but fire custom ammo.

Prices:

Unpainted Guns - Fully modified, but unpainted Mavs are $45. These have the advantage of operating a bit smoother due to not having additional paint on them. Turnaround is a lot faster on these as well.

NON modified, painted Mavs are the following:

Tier 1 - as described above - $60
Tier 2 - as described above - $70
Tier 3 - as described above - $80

Pictures of the sanding process:

I have a couple of customers so far who might be willing to share their experience working with me and offer their take on whether my work is worth the money. For serious inquires I will put you in touch. I will also be posting pictures and “reviews” very soon. I am home all day, I respond to emails immediately, and I work hard to please my clients.

Now for the whole enchilada, if you want a fully modified AND painted gun, the following prices apply with slight discount. It's easier to me to do modifications and painting on the same gun, so I'll take a few bucks off. I know it's an investment, but it's an investment in something very unique.

Fully Modified, Painted Guns are the following pricing:

Tier 1 - as described above - $80
Tier 2 - as described above - $90
Tier 3 - as described above - $100

All modified guns come with 40 rounds of custom ammo.

Please note, I'm pretty easy going, and I'm flexible on payment terms, or even possible trades. There's always lots of stuff I need, so if you own a business and want to trade something cost effective to you, let me know. I'm into computers, gadgets, toys, especially Transformers, DVDs, games, and even household stuff like kitchen supplies. Just email me.

Quantity Discount - The labor and materials costs per order are pretty tight as is, but if you help me out with a large order, I'll do what I can to accommodate with a discount. Due to the varying degree of costs associated with each tier, I can't offer a flat discount. I will consider each order on a case by case basis.

AMMO PRICING

Additional ammo is available with notice for the following:

50 - $8
100 - $12
200 - $20

Please ask about larger quantities. I'm just one guy ya know :)

Terms of Sale:

Turnaround Time: - Greatly depends on workload.

Unpainted, modified guns - Take about 2 days to process, including curing of sealants. If I have no other work orders, your order will ship on the third day after I receive payment via Paypal. If you wish to pay via certified check or money order, I will begin order after money is cleared.

Painted, non-modified guns Take 2 days for sanding and masking, and then:

Tier 1 - at least two days for painting, detailing, touch up, and clear coating. I HIGHLY recommend allowing an additional day to fully dry so that I can check to make sure there is no further touch up to be done. - Shipping as soon as fourth day.

Tier 2 - at least three days for painting, detailing, touch up, and clear coating. I HIGHLY recommend allowing an additional day to fully dry so that I can check to make sure there is no further touch up to be done. - Shipping as soon as fifth day.

Tier 3 - at least five days for painting, detailing, touch up, and clear coating. I HIGHLY recommend allowing an additional day to fully dry so that I can check to make sure there is no further touch up to be done. - Shipping as soon as seventh day or later.

Fully Painted AND Modified Guns take the following:

NOTE: ALL modifications are performed and allowed to dry and cure before sanding and painting takes place. This is to assure that the paint process is not interrupted and assures a high quality finish. Therefore, fully painted and modified guns take a while.

Modifications - 2 days for modifications, 2 days for sanding and masking, and then:

Tier 1 - at least two days for painting, detailing, touch up, and clear coating. I HIGHLY recommend allowing an additional day to fully dry so that I can check to make sure there is no further touch up to be done. - Shipping as soon as sixth day.

Tier 2 - at least three days for painting, detailing, touch up, and clear coating. I HIGHLY recommend allowing an additional day to fully dry so that I can check to make sure there is no further touch up to be done. - Shipping as soon as seventh day.

Tier 3 - at least five days for painting, detailing, touch up, and clear coating. I HIGHLY recommend allowing an additional day to fully dry so that I can check to make sure there is no further touch up to be done. - Shipping as soon as ninth day or later.

AGE -

No one under the age of 18 may order. I will not sell to minors, nor will I be held responsible for a minor purchasing through an adult.

The Customer is NOT Always Right -

A new policy. I’ve received a number of very rude messages via eBay over the last several days. If you don’t like something about my operation, feel free to not buy. If you are rude, impatient, or a total douche, I will not sell to you. I’m not very PC, and even though I’m extremely prompt and polite to those who follow my rules, I’m just as quick to ignore those who don’t. So if you’re bossy, pushy, impatient or rude, take it elsewhere.

SHIPPING

USA - Shipping to the USA is via Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation for $11. For insurance add $2, which is highly recommended.

Shipping to other countries varies, but here are some examples:

To Canada with insurance - $29
To Mexico with 75 indemnity - $26
To Japan with insurance - $47
To Australia with insurance - $47
To England with insurance - $47

Please inquire for your country. I will ship anywhere!

If you are ordering two or more, discounts may apply. For very large orders I may be able to pack them in a larger box. It will depend on distance and time required.

Returns - Due to the highly personal and labor intensive nature of the work, I am hesitant to offer a formal return policy. If your gun for some reason is not working properly, I will inspect and either repair or replace it at my discretion. If it looks abused, or tampered with, I cannot offer any refund. If you busted it up, and you admit it but you want a new one, I'll be happy to trade in the old gun for a discount on a new one, depending on how much of your gun I can salvage for parts. I'm just one guy trying to make a living, so that's the best I can offer at this time.

Attrition -

Please note that modified Nerf guns are plastic toys being subjected to considerable stress. Over time, they will lose power. This is not a flaw, nor is it something I will consider returns for. Bear in mind the limitations of plastic. If you want me to “refresh” your gun, I will do so for a fee, depending on the parts needed. If you are not comfortable with this idea, but still want a beautifully painted gun, buy one without the mods. They last longer.

Conclusion - Thank you for reading, and I hope I have addressed your every concern. If you have questions, want to place an order, or want to discuss a custom project, email me at uryaen@yahoo.com.

If you want to see the full size pictures, or you'd like me to shoot a particular angle, just shoot me an email. Thanks and I look forward to helping you.

Tier 2 – Woodland Camo!

2009-06-04T05:28:00.001-07:00

A classic style. If you are a fan of M.A.S.H. or just a fan of OD based camo, this scheme will appeal to you.

Available in any gun, this is a Tier 2 Paint Job. I will also finish with battle damage, rust, or other effects.

The gun below is no longer available for sale, but I will create a new one with either straw mod or Upgraded Barrels, and available Stage II power.

Look for an updated version of Desert Camo next!

Shiny Black With Upgraded Barrels

2009-06-03T22:02:00.001-07:00

A recent custom order, this Shiny Black gun has every power mod I do. Stage II, and Upgraded Barrels. I thought you all should see it fully assembled.

Tier 3 – Glow in the Dark!!

2009-06-03T21:19:00.001-07:00

As hinted, here it is, the first of the second generation unique paint schemes for my custom guns. This Alien Project is a special Glowing model!

Unfortunately, due to the realities of photography, it is difficult to fully appreciate the effect in pictures, but you will see what it looks like both in the light, and in the dark.

I am now taking orders for this unique paint scheme, in any combination, modded or not.

Note that in the following pictures, there is no clear coat yet. I will be testing scrap pieces to determine whether matte or shiny clear coat looks better. I will upload new pictures upon final assembly.

Also note that I consider this a Tier 3 paint job due to the increased cost of the paint itself, and the delicacy of the paint process. Glow paint is MUCH thicker than typical paint, and therefore, great care must be taken to assure an even paint job. In person, the paint looks a bit translucent, and takes on some of the color of the base coat, in this case silver. The glow paint has a mildly uneven feel to it, which is only noticeable upon very close inspection.

The real showstopper here is the glow in the dark effect, which is used for the entire gun here. On a custom order, I could paint only certain areas glow, to give different effects. Email for more details.

Ryan’s 60 Foot Maverick

2009-05-24T16:59:00.001-07:00

Well here it is folks, proof that my Fully Modded Mavericks, with Stage II mod, and Upgraded Barrels will fire to a distance of 60+ feet and group consistently.

Bear in mind that I had to shoot AND hold the camera so shots would be even better grouped otherwise. That and the wind.

Here we are. Later I will get some assistance to shoot a video of me measuring the actual distance.

Tier 2 – Black Battle Worn 009

2009-05-21T05:42:00.001-07:00

Just completed today using a new paint process. I think it looks even sharper than before. Sold and sent overseas. I’m hoping for a review soon.

Range and Power Test of New Power Mod

2009-05-20T05:06:00.001-07:00

This is just a temporary video showing a quick shot of my new power mod. I don’t have any help here so I can’t film outdoors, but the distance of this test is 15 feet. You will notice how there is no arc in the trajectory which means that 15 feet is not even close to the half way mark. Range is most likely around 45 feet or more. Notice how hard it hits the wall behind the can, even though I missed. I’ll post a better video soon.

Tier 3 - Steampunk 007

2009-05-20T00:15:00.001-07:00

Experimental using a new paint process. I think it looks even sharper than before.

A GREAT Example of how to Order

2009-05-19T23:42:00.001-07:00

I just got the following email tonight. It was so good, I had to ask permission to post it here. This is how it’s done! Thank you WV for your order! I look forward to the final review.

“I would like to order a Tier 1 Paint Modified with the extra Power Mod. So $85 minus the 25% as stated in your ebay auction plus the $11 Shipping I believe comes to $75.75. Please confirm this and I will Pay Pal Payment ASAP.”

Price List and Order Form

2009-05-13T02:09:00.001-07:00

UPDATED 2.2.2011.

Due to the popularity and continued high demand of my guns, and some of the rave reviews I’m getting, I’m reopening the store in a conditional manner. I will take orders under approval, please email me for details. Prices on many of my supplies have gone up, and I am reevaluating pricing. See table for new pricing. All prices are final, and represent a very aggressive price point for the premium product presented.

NOTE for eBay auctions – I am no longer offering any product through ebay.

Paypal - I am also no longer accepting PayPal at all. See front page for why.

To order, choose a gun type, quantity, options, and shipping, and then email me at uryaen@yahoo.com to discuss the details.

Cash Policy – I will take any order you want with cash, but note that your order will not enter the queue until I have the cash in hand. I will also accept money orders, or Walmart MoneyGram, or Western Union, but I no longer accept PayPal, please do not ask.

Rush Order - All orders are subject to the standard lead times quoted in several places on the site. If you must have a gun sooner than this, you will have to pay an extra rush charge. How much this charge is will depend on the gun type and just how soon you need it. This charge will be anywhere from $5 to more than $25, and is at my discretion, and is non negotiable.

Signature Series See front page for full details. Tier 3 Paint, 3 Removable cylinders with upgraded barrels, 100 hand picked ammo, and warranty. 60+ foot gun! 269.99
NOTE on Signature Series pricing: Price is based on additional materials and labor. I have had some inquiry of confusion on this matter. This package contains a fully Tier 3 painted gun, which represents approximately 16 hours of hand sanding, painting and detailing, and every modification I do, which is a few more hours worth of cutting, sanding, gluing, etc. Each gun comes with three entire cylinders containing upgraded barrels. This means that MY base cost for the gun and cylinders ALONE is more than $40 ABOVE the base materials costs of the gun alone, which is around $16. Each cylinder requires a considerable amount of hand painting, barrel alignment and other prep work. In addition, the package contains a $20 holster, made separately, 100 hand picked ammo, and an industry exclusive warrantee. If you even just add up the basic costs based on my other prices, you will see that even sans warrantee, this represents a $200+ package, without taking into account additional overhead, replacement costs, my shipping cost for the holster, or any additional profit for what is a very labor intensive package. I have priced my package as low as I intend to do, and if you feel that it is unreasonable, you are welcome to not buy it, but it does represent a very rational pricing scheme for a premium product. Thank you.

Maverick Desert Camo Preview

2009-05-04T20:36:00.000-07:00

This is a PREVIEW of the Desert Camo scheme.

The paint ops are not final, some parts are not painted yet, and more touchup is needed, but this will give you the idea of what it will look like.

Steampunk with Rust Detail

2009-05-04T16:17:00.000-07:00

The following were taken with the camera built into the iPhone. I have since acquired a better camera. Look for newer images of this gun once the customer sends them to me.

Black Battle Worn

2009-05-04T15:15:00.001-07:00

Early images of the “Battle Worn” look Mav in . Note the the release button is not painted in this set although it is now. This look is very compelling in person, and really sells the scratched metal look. Also note that some of the images below feature one of my steampunk mavs before it was fully painted.

Shiny Black - Brand New Look

2009-05-04T15:06:00.000-07:00

Early images of the “Brand New” look Mav in black. Note the the release button is not painted in this set although it is now. This look is very compelling in person, and a pair of these would look very sharp together. Also note that some of the images below feature one of my steampunk mavs before it was fully painted.

Ryan Siller Maverick Steampunk Version 2 with Rust Macro images

If you even just add up the basic costs based on my other prices, you will see that even sans warrantee, this represents a $200+ package, without taking into account additional overhead, replacement costs, my shipping cost for the holster, or any additional profit for what is a very labor intensive package. I have priced my package as low as I intend to do, and if you feel that it is unreasonable, you are welcome to not buy it, but it does represent a very rational pricing scheme for a premium product. Thank you.

Tier 4 FireFly – Painted, non Modded.	The Firefly is VERY detailed, and requires a HUGE amount of hand sanding. The level of work involved in painting is equal to at least 5 Mavericks. I won’t be charging the equivalent, I’m charging for about 4. Therefore, I am implementing new Tiers for the larger, more detailed guns. Tier 4 is the standard for the FF. This includes base colour, and all detail areas hand sanded and painted in up to 5 colours.	Not taking orders right now.
