A RHINO-FIRE PICTORIAL
If you have been a reader of NERFARIUM for very long, then you probably know that I'm a big fan of the NERF Elite RHINO-FIRE. I have 3 of them in my collection, and I've written several articles about them.
This time I want to show you a cosmetic mod that I did to one of my RHINO-FIREs, that I think looks great. Read more to see the pics...
I mentioned something about doing this back in July of last year in my The White Armor post. I found that the MODULUS BLAST SHIELD attachment looked surprisingly good on the RHINO-FIRE. The MODULUS logo wasn't really appropriate, and although the translucent orange color wasn't horrible, it could look better.

I sanded down the MODULUS logo, it is molded on the shield and slightly raised, as is the NERF logo. After that I masked off the rectical/sight, and then several coats of Satin White Krylon Infusion paint. Unfortunately the day I picked to do this project was cold and rainy, and not the ideal day for painting. I had to use a heat gun to help dry the paint in between coats. In the end the results were adequate, although if I did it again, I'd do some things a little different, like waiting for a sunnier day...

Anyway, this project was cheap, and easy, and I really like the end results. The BLAST SHIELD fits on the RHINO-FIRE like it was made for it, and makes it even more FUNctioal than it already is, with all its got going on.
Although they are discontinued, you can easily find a brand new BLASTSHIELD, online, for around 8 or 9 bucks.

Well that's about all I got for now, short and simple. Some new stuff is in the mail and on the way, so there will be more about that in the near future. Until then, be safe and...
NERF on NERFerS!!!
