WTF China?! TaoBao Is Full Of Weird And Awesome

So, I know that China loves to pretend copyright laws don't exist... or at least it seems that way some times.

Now I don't know if you've ever had the enjoyment of looking through the TaoBao website, (Basically a Chinese eBay) but if you have, you will probably have noticed a number of things that made you tilt your head or maybe wish you could get your hands on for it's unique look.

Well, through a recent fun search through this interesting selection I found a few, that I thought were worth noting to everyone else.

'Murica! The Air Force Inspired Long Shot

Hello again everyone!
We are extremely excited to show off our newest creation and commission! I'm going to admit we had our doubts about how it would turn out while we were working on it, but in the end it became another stunner; dear to our heart, and it will be missed as it goes off into the wild blue yonder.

My wife's sister's husband is the one who commissioned us to make this for his brother's birthday. We got the idea when thinking about the commissioner, who was enrolled in the ROTC for the Air Force. We figured something a little more personalized would be awesome to see. The best part is that he has no idea what we've done to it yet. He just told us he wanted one of the 'big Nerf rifles'. So I'm sure he will be just as surprised as his brother.

Anyway, without further ado, here it is:

Super Soakers and More of the Tek 4 LOTS OF PICS!!

Hello! Sarah here! I decided to try my hand at taking photos and uploading the blog. Ben has been very productive the last few days and finished two Super Soakers and the Tek 4 (which has already been posted). Enjoy! 

Neo-Tek: The Tek 4 to Die For

I know you have all seen many of the week looking, goofy colored buzz bee blasters, including the wimpy looking Tek 4. Well, I surprised myself this time with how well this paint job worked out, and managed to make one of my favorite blasters to date. I'm sure this is one that anyone would be happy to show off, and have amongst their armory.

More pictures after the jump. --->

Commission Week: It's Finally Over

It's been a long 15 day week getting these blasters finished, but well worth it! The results are stunning as always, and I know you are all jumping out of your seats to look at the pics. So, without further ado, here they are. (Mixed in is a few of the older blasters I've done, was just how I set up the shots was all.)

Commission Week: Through The Mist

 Hello again! Right on track I got to work clear coating the blasters! This is definitely one of my favorite parts. The clear coat really gives a nice shine that makes so many details stand out, and does a good job protecting the hard work and effort we put into each blaster.

They should be all cured by tomorrow, and I can take some time to get some great shots before getting things boxed up. I'm very happy to finally get to another finished product!

Commission Week: A Little Overdo

So, a little later update than expected. Life, it seems, enjoys making things difficult. Especially when it comes to giving my any quarter to get necessary things done. Nevertheless we have soldiered on and we are on track to have the commission finished and shipped out Monday morning!
