- Few weeks ago I recieved my NERF LMTD ALIENS M41-A Blaster from Hasbro. I wasn't disapointed when unboxing that puppy but, of course, I had to make it...well, better!
Not seaking screen accuracy but to make something cool. Cheers!

Here's a little recap. First, fill all the hole with body filler. (red stuff/Bondo) Sand. Prime everything. Paint everything with satin black. Paint the "beige" with Rust-Oleum Nutmeg (not screen accurate but close enough for me) and then, weathering. Rub and buff for the metal scracthes. Washes with acrylic paint mixed with water. Rust powder and finaly, a clear coat to seal everything. Cheers!

''The original color of the Pulse Rifles in Aliens has long been a cause of debate. The props originally used on set were actually painted in Humbrol 170 "Brown Bess", not green as is often erroneously stated (although due to on-set lighting, the weapons often appear to be olive green on-screen)''
My first thought was "he's going for the actual correct colour". Jonathan Ferguson the curator of firearms & artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum mentioned that on one of his videos. That said I still prefer the OG look to the brown regardless of what the reality was.
🙂
@@TarnishUK at this point, there's the accuracy and personal taste.
funny thing is when you showed what you were doing I never thought of the pulse rifle in any other color than what you're showing. Didn't even think about green until you brought it up.
It was not humbrol brown Bess but close to it. Paint was mixed by a factory in Slough and painted by a prop guy I work withs brother he has some original item painted that were from the set. He bought one it on to Ghostbusters last year and I had a good close look, it has a tad more green than brown Bess but just a tiny amount
I was really surprised how well that looked without all the extensive modding and changes ive seen people do to these nerfs. Came out really well.
Cheers Joseph!
I have one of these and am planning to do the same to it. I may remove the tube that is the actual barrel and replace it with a clear one.
@@josephcranmer5930 Do it! 😁
I love the fact that Adam is ‘watching over you’ on the wall
Indeed! 🤣
Awesome. I love your shelf. A framed photograph of Adam Savage. How cool is that.
Cheers! I will give a tour of my collection eventually
I actually bought this and was thinking about making it look like the movie. After watching you and your skill level, looks like I'm stuck with the toy. Fun to watch. Looks amazing.
I obviously took some liberty in the making. Not screen accurate at all. Just a fun build :) Thanks for watching and your comment John! Take care!
just came here from watching Adam unbox his. im super impressed by the lengths you went through to mod this! very cool!
Cheers man! Thanks for watching!
I will be interesting to compare this with Adam Savage's
@@90xxxxkat his will probably be way more screen accurate then mine. I just try to build cool stuff that looks the part.
@@90xxxxkat yeah, im curious to see what direction he goes! i bet he makes a case or stand for it.
Not DisAssembling for the PaintJob was an extremely bad idea.
Nice one man. You have the old school movie magic craft in your blood for sure!
Cheers Buddy! Thanks a lot for watching 🙃
super cool video, hope you find a larger audience with your great production value, totally deserved
I appreciate that! Cheers!
That looks amazing. I have built a few model kits in my time but never had the talent to take the finish to the next level with all the detail paining…well done
Much appreciated my friend! Thanks a lot for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Well done. The sculpt looks like it lent itself to the repaint.
Indeed! Thanks for your comment Wayne! Always appreciated ☺
We're on a express elevator to hell going down - ALIENS 1987
1986
They only come out at night . . . Mostly

Great dedication! I don't know you couldn't resist the temptation to run around with the shop shooting imaginary chestbusters after that amazing overhaul. That final product looks like the ultimate toy!
Cheers Stacy! No, I did not resist! The chestbusters were my kids! Thanks a bunch for commenting and watching. Much appreciated
Was 14 when I bluffed my way into aliens. I expected the pulse rifle to be a laser gun! From that moment, I fell in love with this rifle, and smart gun.
Pretty cool isn't? Such an iconinc riffle! Thanks for watching Paul! Cheers!
@DaBuild well done on the remodelling mate
-Jams frequently
-Limited ammo
-Caseless explosive rounds
-Could cause damage to space stations
Remember: _Short, Controlled Bursts._
indeed!
@@DaBuild Guess that's why the Pulse Rifle is so popular: In a movie that's literally just the Vietnam War viewed through a sci-fi lens, the Pulse Rifle is as close to a grounded, Vietnam-era firearm as possible in a space faring future full of unnatural horrors.
Nice work! I just got mine in the mail not too long ago, can't wait to give this a shot.
Cheers man! It's a well worth it Mod! Show me when you're done! 😁
I've been buying up old Nerf guns from my local dump with the intention of trying to mod them and weather them. I just stumbled across this and am blown away, inspired and amped up. This is an absolute thing of beauty. Thank you for sharing bro. It's incredible.
Man...I would say a massive thank you for that pretty inspiring comment! Cheers!
Great build! Thanks for filming it!! Definitely going to be using some of your techniques as I modify mine :)
Thanks a bunch Brandon! Much appreciated! Please, show me when you're done with yours. Cheers!
Beautiful job bro !! I gotta try this ! Would go great with my aliens/Starwars control panel .
Cheers man! Go for it! It's well worth it :)
Right on, bro! Seeing you place your pulse rifle near other collectibles at the end of the video made my day. 🔥 well done... Bravo!
Much appreciated Damon! I will give a little tour of my humble collection someday. Promise!
@@DaBuild Awesome! Then I'm gonna go ahead and sub. Don't want to miss that 🎥☺ btw what channel is very inspiring 🌟
@@damonzap8659 I always feel humble when people are interested in what I do. Again, I fully appreciated you taking the time to Sub and watch my content. Cheers!
the gun i wanted since 1990. wow. thank you for this video.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Hasbro should hire you. fantastic.
I don't know about that...I'm destroying their toy! 😂
@@DaBuild destroying? your creation is much better than theirs, any alien fan would buy your model before theirs. Yours is from the movie.😜
@@Josemaria-wb3ge ahh! Thanks a bunch man!
Another incredible piece of work, man. I love your videos.
Thanks a bunch! Cheers! 😊
I like that the colour scheme is the same as the mech lifter.
Not screen accurate but close enough for me 🤗
Nice build. The whole time I was thinking, "Hmm🤔, how would Adam Savage do it?" Then I look at your wall and see a pic of him. Right on 😀👍🏻
His will most likely be more accurate then mine. I only wanted to build something cool :)
Great idea, and very nice work. As a fan from Aliens, I apreciate this homage.
Thank you very much for watching and dropping a line here. Cheers! Merci beaucoup!
Adam Savage would be proud of your build!
I was surprised to see you do the whole paintjob without taking it apart as I have seen others do and would have guessed was the obvjous thing to do, but you filled up the toy screw holes to make it look way more realistic.
Very inspiring! Bit unfortunate that the video doesn't show how you completed the paint job without removing the pump grip. Can't figure that out myself from watching it.
Mucha appreciated! For the pump, I simply slided it up and down. Cheers!
I like that Adam has a cameo
Indeed!
Adam Savage should have a picture of you on his wall. Love your builds
hahaha! I like your comment! Cheers Man! 😁
This is so cool. I really wish someone would finally make an M41a replica/pro/toy thing that fully functioned! The Nerf one is probably the best to the stock not extending kinda sucks, and the Airsoft one that's been out and rebranded over and over for like 15 years doesnt have a functioning underbarrel. Both are SO close. IIRC there was a kit way back that allowed you to use an Airsoft Thompson reciever and a sawn off Airsoft 870 to build to totally accurate one just like how the props were made, but the finish project would be like $1500.
Agreed! Cheers Benny and thanks for watching! 🙂
Another awesome mod, always enjoy your videos. Keep it up!
Much appreciated my friend! Thanks a bunch for dropping a line and watching. Cheers!
Well damn!!! That came out a lot better than I was expecting 👏👏👏 chef’s kiss😙👌
Thanks a bunch Spaceman! Thanks for watching 😁
Awesome build! But remember to only fill the magazine to 95% capacity to prevent jamming 😉
Too late for that! 😉
and thanks by the way! Much appreciated!
Excellent job! I've saved this to my collection of vids with people modding these and I'm getting great ideas from all of you, plus I have some of my own ideas.
Cheers man! Show me yours when you re done! I got a lot of great ideas from people's comments here! I really ike when these vids/channel become collaboration and inspiration for everyone.
I've got one of these to do the exact same thing. Thanks for posting this! That weathering took it to the next level!!!
Much appreciated Jason!
You only forgot one thing..... To ship it to me😂😂😂😂 great job, there are 3d printer mods out there now too.
🤣

Oh yeah!
Skills: They're gonna come in here and they're gonna get us! 😊👌
Cheers!
It's awesome. Well done. So talented.
Much appreciated Steven! And thank you for watching 🤗
Aliens M41A Nerf Mod to look original movie prop got ya self a new sub all the way from down under (Australia) keep up the awesome content .
Much appreciated!
Awesome! I’ve been waiting for someone to mod this!
I'm actually surprised that not so many people did it...I thought I would be late for the parade!
@@DaBuild well, you did it first! Hooray!
You surely found your path in this world!Congratulations!
Cheers Neo!
This is my favorite cinematic weapon along with Han Solo's Blaster and Deckard's gun from Blade Runner. Can't wait to try to mod mine.
Indeed! I love these as well. They are appart of my collection. Thanks for watching!
Dude!! That looks amazing! I repaint figures and stuff in my channel and I've been thinking about painting a NERF gun for a while ago. What I didn't know is that this one existed, and I'm a huge Alien fan so I definitely have to get one of these and make my custom version, or I won't be able to sleep 🤣 I love the videos that inspire me to do stuff, and this one did. You deserve a new sub!🤘
SendoFX! Back at you! Thanks a bunch for the support and comment. As you know, this is what keep us going. Cheers!
Best Riffle Ever
Oh yeah!
Looks great, personally i would have filled some of the empty unused cavities with some lead to give it some heft when picked up.
That's actually a good idea. But to be honest, this puppy already has a good weight to it. Cheers!
man this looks way better than the paint job i did
Bahh! All that matter is that you had fun doing yours. Thanks for watching!
Nice! now I want to see it in a fan movie.
That would be cool!
Now that’s a impressive build
Much appreciated Jamie! And thanks for watching 🙂
Subbed! magical work on the blaster. One of my favourite things to do back in the day was cosmetic mods for my blaster collection.
Thanks a bunch Zero! Much appreciate the support! Cheers!
Great Job !!!! ALIENS My favorite SYFY movie of all time !!
Cheers Doug! Much appreicated!
Adam Savage has the exact same nerf gun. Cant wait to see how his compares to yours when he is finished with it. But brilliant job!! Nerf or Nothing!
Thanks Gordon! Adam's gun will most likely be more accurate then mine. Thanks a bunch for watching!
@@DaBuild but your gun looks amazing!! You weathered the paintjob to make the gun look used!! Love how you sanded off the nerf logo!!! Nice touch right there!! I will def be checking out more of your videos now that im following you!!
Blank firing guns were made from a Thompson submachine gun in 45 acp and a 12 gauge shotgun
Indeed!
Totally awesome!
CHeers Stewart and thanks for watching!
@DaBuild no worries you did a great job!
Very awesome work my man!
Thank you! Cheers!
@@DaBuild You're welcome.
Great videos - great work.
Would love to hear just a little bit more explanation/details how & why you made some work steps.
Many of your weathering , gold powder and so on - I don’t have an idea what you‘re doing 😅
Great critic! I take notes for the next one! Cheers!
Wow. Amazing finished product
Much appreciated ☺️
Very cool. Wont it be easier if you disassemble the gun before painting. Avoid damaging firing mechanism.
I thought about it but since I decided to fill all the screw holes, no could do! 😁
BTW, the mecanism still works fine ☺
Amazing work mate, going to get my air bush out again. Thanks
Cheers James! Have fun and thanks for watching :)
The metal hardware was such a nice detail. Subbed
Much appreciated! Thanks a bunch for watching and coming along for the ride. Cheers Sam!
Absolutely fantastic, thanks for the vid, great camera work aswell.
Cheers! Not always easy with only a simple phone but I do my best :)
That looks boss when it’s finished👌wish I could do something like this with some of my little lads guns but wouldn’t even know where to start
Do it your way my friend. That's all what matter. Cheers!
Very impressive.
Thank you very much Stefan!
The attention to detail was amazing, 10/10!!!🔥💯
Much appreciated and thank you for watching!
Nicely done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Killer job in the weathering sir!
Much appreciated! Take care!
I hear this has already been added to the Canadian Gun Ban list...
Well done on the paint job, especially the weathering details. At the end I laughed when I saw the picture of Adam Savage. You did this 2 weeks before his got up online, but the only reason Im here is that I saw his first. Look forward to more vids from you. Heck of an artifact collection you got going!
no doubt!
Wow Canada banned the Nerf Pulse Rifle, Even Australia with our strict Gun Laws let the Nerf Pulse Rifle into Australia.
@@666theninja Not banned....just bloody hard to get.
Wow that pulse rifle looks incredible very good job on painting it 🆒🆒👍👍
Much appreciated! cheers!
🍻@@DaBuild
*_Great work!_*
Much appreciated! ☺
Looks incredible!
Much appreciated James! Thanks for watching! ☺
Fantastic job! WOW! MASTERFULLY done. Again, WOW!
Much appreciated my friend! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
@@DaBuild You are very welcome. You turned a toy into a highly detailed movie prop. Again, well done.
VERY cool, looks so good.
Wish I had the skill to convert mine - but it's NEVER coming out of the box!
I shoulda bought two... 😫
Much appreciated! I was barely able to get one 😁 Good thing I did not mess it too much. Cheers!
Very cool mate - very cool
Much appreciated Graig! Thanks for watching ☺
Amazing job
Just finished modding mine but I was blown away by your work
Stay frosty
Much appreciated Joshua! I would be really curious to see yours!
A labor of love! 😊
Cheers!
Oh man, that is a hell of a job. Santa brought me one of these too, and I would LOVE to give it a similar treatment since it does look like a toy as-is. My skills are nowhere near yours, though. I think I'll find a couple used NERF guns at the thrift store to practice on first. :)
"Skills" come with time and practice indeed! Good luck with yours!
Use the Nerf blaster as parts to build a working airsoft gun with a pump shotgun.
that would cool!
Epic- an arty friend is doing mine. Cant wait to see what she does. Yours is brilliant.
I appreciate that. Anyone can do it the way he wants :) Mods are what you wish it to be! Cheers! And thanks for watching!
Damn good work! I wish I was talented enough to do something similar. I absolutely love Aliens and the Pulse Rifle
Much appreciated Steven!
Wow looks amazing!!!
Much appreciated! And thanks for watching!
looks real!
thanks!
that's a pretty good job, hopefully i cna get mine to look as good. the main problem with this thing is the sounds are completely wrong. Its fine for a static model but how they could screw up the sounds so bad is beyond me
Much appreciated! Indeed. The sound is pretty crappy and the speaker, pretty cheap. Well, I guess the rest makes up for it :)
OMG! What amazing work!! I want one so badly.
Much appreciated Ben! Thanks a bunch for watching! Cheers!
Hey man, if you want to try upgrading the performance of the blaster, you can always try upgrading the flywheels and motors inside
Great idea, but, I wont be able to do it anymore since I cover all the screws 😅
It looks awesome! The only tiny issue I see is that even the parts which wouls be plastic on a real gun (like the pistol grip or the pump) are painted as if they were metal. That's just a small nitpick, though. Other than that it's great!
I haven't thought about it...clever catch!
@@DaBuild try brown or green tape for the grip, easy fix.
@@tacobruisedays Thanks man!
That looks amazing!!!! beautiful work
Giovanni, I trully appreicate that you took the time to watch it and drop a line here! Cheers!
Beautiful work! I've got on on the way and planning to remove the flywheel, sound card but want to keep the counter and relocate the batteries to the magazine. Unsure how I am going to do this yet!
Thanks a bunch for the comment! I haven't played with the electric so I can't help either. Cheers!
“Game over man, game over!”
You would have been better off disassembling it first that way you would not have had to mask anything and you would have better access to removing certain parts like shotgun ejector port and underneath adding the reload port as well as all the shielding holes to see through. This is in addition to removing the inaccurate NERF barrel and adding a flash suppressor to the real barrel (that is what I am doing with mine). The magazine base is also miss shaped and should follow the line of the housing. However you did a great job on the paint and would love to see if you would have taken it further. I also recommend adding a bolt on the charging handle as it is too short. So more ideas for you to further mod it. ;-)
Just too lazzy to dissaemble it! 🤪
But more seriously, can't dissaemble it since I covered all the screws 🙃
@@DaBuild yeah I noticed that you covered the screw holes. Hehe but it can be undone if you get inspired for more realism which is what I will be doing with mine. My problem will be knowing when to stop.
I think it was quite refreshing to see its just kept the way it is and still looks the best mod I have seen so far. This video totally inspired me to start doing some real projects again. I would normally also take things apart before I paint them but it depends a bit on the item and the molds. I love how the gaps and screw holes were filled and would do the same. I also noticed in the vid some parts around the trigger group that have a real advantage from filling gaps and masking over disassembly. These little details matter making it look real to me and blew my mind in the end result. I would probably still disassemble it first for the cutting work and maybe glue in some fittings for the bolts. The extra nerf barrel doesn't bother me personally, in fact I think it kind of fills up a gap in the original design somehow. Guess they were going for the m60 style barrel but it always looked a litte small to me compared to the rest of the weapon.. But I totally understand if you want it to be movie accurate.
@@DCLXVIDS Cheers!
Badass id Love one for Display.
Adam Savage has one
Cheers!
you've single headedly made this 12x more expensive
😃
@@DaBuild 😃
Wow amazing work. Ive been lucky enough to get one recently and im looking to repaint and mod it.
I love the fact you fitted real bolts/head to the build. And the weathering is expertly done.
I would love to do the same mod and add real bolts as you did.
Would you mind sharing what size drill bits were used to replace the bolts ?
Also what were you using for the weathering ?
Many thanks
Thanks a bunch! I believe the big ones were 1/2 inch drill bits and the small ones, 1/8. As for the paint and weathering, everything is pretty much explained in the description. Cheers!
@DaBuild thank you.
