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! 

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!

Winter Hiatus

This is basically a short blurb about the weather. Sadly, not an update on anything new just yet. Not that I don't have things to do. I have a touch up job and a commission I need to get done for a customer of mine, but weather has just not been permitting for me to do it. It got around 4 degrees last night, and I need it to be at least 50 for the base coats I spray, and the finishing clear coats. I have a garage, but it doesn't have light or power to it, and therefor no heat, and with one of the windows being make-shift and crappy, my attempts at heating it up using a heater and extension cord have been complete failures. So, I'm just sitting here, praying for rain, or rather, warmth; but Utah winters are pretty bad, and I don't know if I'll be able to get back to anything until around April.

My only other options are finally getting ahead on trying some more mods, and such on blasters. I always wanted to take one of my longstrikes and attach that over-under I have to the front. I've never done anything like that yet, so it could be interesting and fun. I could also eventually get back to my Alpha Meson blaster project that's just been sitting for the last year and a half. I'm sure plenty of people would love to see that.

Well, it's all to see what comes. I don't have a lot of time usually. I work two jobs at the moment, so does my wife, just so we can pay the bills. So there isn't a lot of time for us to do Neo Creations related things. However it would be nice to be able to get ahead on it to a point where it is bringing in some extra income. I'd love for Neo Creations to be my second job rather than having to be out of the house all day.

Anyway, sad, depressing, cold, wintery, snowy rant over for now. I'm not gone, just shut down during this off season.

Mass Maverick Production

Anime Banzai is coming up here in Utah in about 2 months, and so we have a lot of work to do. We have a good 90-ish guns that we want to have done by the time the convention comes around. This is going to be difficult since most of the blasters need to be taken apart and prepped before they can be painted, as well as we want to clear coat as many as possible. On top of all this I am trying my best to get a different job, and will probably going through a massive job and schedule change in the coming month. I don't know what time I'll have once that hits.

Basically, we have everything you see to do, as well as ten more mavericks to paint.

Back in the Game With a Hornet That'll Blow Your Mind!

Hello again everyone!
So, everything's settled, and I'm getting back up to speed. I had a quick commission I had to finish before a steampunk convention last week, and it spurred a quick recovery to the Nerf world for me. Selling a few vintage things I found also helped get me a few extra bucks to get back in the game.
I know some of you liked the last Hornet that we did here at Neo-Creations. Well, get ready to drop that jaw when you look at the most recent one, and probably the best faux-wood work we have done to date!

So, without further ado...

 

Hiatus Coming To An End

I'm sure you have all been wondering where I went. So have I.

I have been ridiculously busy since even a little before my birthday back in May. The reason? My wife and I bought our first house, and it's been an adventure trying to get everything going again, on top of the 10 hour/6day a week schedule I've been battling at work.

I still haven't had time to get any of my Nerf stuff unpacked. I have commissions that have been waiting for way too long now, and I have been overly exhausted from all of this, along with trying to get my 51 Chevy Pickup up and going.

So... busy busy... However I will need to kick it into high gear. I promised a commission finished by this weekend, so I gotta stick to it. It is another Nerf Hornet, but this one will be even more awesome than the last. I had originally chosen a winner for the giveaway (Chris), but he has yet to get back to me, so I will choose someone else, and dig up the blaster to get it sent.

So... Hiatus... Yeah...

S.L.A.N.G. Salt Lake Nerf Geeks First Battle of the Season

Today I finally got my chance to do a little warring with other nerfers!
I found out about S.L.A.N.G. while on the NerfRev site, and was finally able to meet a few of them when I went out to one of our local parks. Weather was sunny, about 83 degrees, and hardly any wind. We had a small group this time, but it was mainly because the S.L.A.N.G. season opener was originally planned for last Saturday, but had to be changed on account of weather.

Un-Sight-ly: Too Attached To Your Attachments?

Now we are all aware of the many different accessories that Nerf has released over the years for their N-Strike lineup. There are sights and lights to spare, but which ones should you use?

There are tactical lights, tactical sights, tactical scope, barrels and clips upon clips. Some came with the guns, and some came packaged separately.
