Replica Prop Gun Commission Details

Replica Prop Gun Commission Details
Made from EVA Foam or Nerf Modifications

Current Commission Requests: OPEN

How to commission me:
Send me an email at stars_spikes@yahoo.com
Describe in detail what you want, pictures are great!
Tell me your price range
Once we agree on something, I will send an invoice.

Things to remember about prop making:
  • They do require some time to make. These are not things that can be done overnight. So please keep in mind that it can take anywhere from one week to two months to create one.
  • There is only one person working on this. I don't have a team at my disposal to create these. Because of this, there may be some delay in photo updates and email responses.
  • Depending on what you are requesting, I may not always be able to keep the Nerf functioning. Some modifications do take away the ability for it to fire.
  • A lot of the modifications made are strictly cosmetic. Scopes, additional barrels, etc will not function.  
  • EVA foam guns/props are non-functional from the start.
I am available for:
Everything from simple to complex
Creating any kind of weapon from any sort of media
Custom creations that you designed
Painting any Nerf gun to your color preference


I may deny a commission request due to:
Complexity
Supplies available to me
Time constraints

What you will get whenever you commission me:
  •  A unique, one-of-a-kind weapon. Everything I make is done by hand and will always be unique from the others. I don't have any fancy machines or high-tech tools to mass create these things. I put a lot of love and time into each creation and you will see it for yourself.
  • Progress photos whenever available and emails on how far along it is. I like to keep whomever commissioned me updated on the progress of their weapon. 
  • A sturdy prop that can handle the wear-and-tear of constant conventions. Every one of my creations is durable and made to be shown off for multiple events. 
Also remember to please be gentle with my creations. They may be able to handle the rough tumbling through crowded convention centers but they are not completely damage-proof. Some will be slightly more fragile than others, depending on the design. Treat my creations with care and love and they will show you the same in return. I cannot be held responsible for anything that happens to them when they are handled inappropriately.

Shipping:
  • Unless you live in an area near Monroe, Louisiana, I will be shipping my creation to your home. I do go to a variety of events during the year all across the US so it is very possible to meet up at these conventions to avoid shipping costs. If you need a list of which ones I will be attending, please ask me or check my Upcoming Events section to the right of this blog.
  • Shipping costs will depend on the size of the completed prop.
  • I always include a tracking number and will monitor its destination on a daily basis.
  • As of right now, I am only shipping domestically with the United States (Hawaii and Alaska are included). I am unsure of how customs will react to a foam replica or a modified Nerf gun, even though its a toy some countries have strict restrictions. If you live outside of the United States and want to own one of these, please check into your countries regulations and if they allow it, we can work something out.
