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.

Anime Banzai 2012

It's been a couple months since we posted anything, but that doesn't mean that we haven't been working on anything. We aren't dead, just busy with the convention like we previously posted. I went through a job change along with all of this as well, so things have been busy when it comes to extra time.

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...

Just A Couple Of Mavericks

We at Neo Creations have been busy coming up with a few new Mavericks, and have come away with some pretty excellent results. The ideas for these came shortly after visiting the Treasure Island hotel & casino in Las Vegas at the beginning of April, and took a few weeks to complete. We decided to make a sort of navel themed gun, as well as a bit of an undead pirate blaster. Alongside this we got to work making the replica of my wife's Maverick for the giveaway on my upcoming birthday.

They are all still fully function with AR/Post Removal on the Navy and Undead blasters, and AR removal on the two others. There really isn't much more that I can say about them as the pictures really speak for themselves.

Happy Birthday Giveaway!

Good news everyone!

To sign up for the giveaway you have to be a watcher on my blog, and leave a comment on this entry. Also, even though it's not necessary, I would love to know, out of the blasters I have done, which is your favorite.

You can see the most extensive collection of my pictures on deviantart account or look at what I've done here on the blog and decide from there. It's always great to get feedback on what I've done, and see what people have liked the most.

So this is my birthday gift and beyond to you!
