Easy Borderlands NERF Blaster: No 3D Printer Needed! (Part 1)

Embark on a wild ride with me as I transform a humble NERF blaster into a badass Borderlands Boomstick! Join me in the workshop as I share my accessible, no 3D printing techniques for creating a custom prop inspired by the chaotic world of Pandora.

This project blends my love for prop making with my background in game development, approaching the blaster's design as I would any in-game object. We'll explore the iconic Borderlands aesthetic – colorful, comic book-inspired, and personalized with makeshift upgrades – and bring that to life using simple tools and readily available materials.

Discover the step-by-step process, from initial sketches and design choices to a blaster ready for paint. This is a perfect project for beginners and anyone looking for a fun and creative DIY challenge. No specialized paints, tools, or 3D printing required!
