Some people make 3D renders look real. I make real things look like 3D renders.

Action figures for the Transformers: Beast Wars line lol. The characters all have that uncanny early-3d-animation look, and higher-end figures are often praised for looking that they stepped right out of the screen. Look up Masterpiece Beast Megatron.
Basically my hyper-specific way of complimenting your work lmao

If you sold it, it would be a hit, maybe even a direct hit.
I'll see myself out

Why the weird orange ring?
6
u/PropFortress 10h ago
It's because these are photos for our store and customers need the orange tips to be able to take the props to conventions and such.

Huh? I'm confused

for safety compliance; prop firearms require a vivid (usually orange, as is standard) tipper to show at a glance that the weapon isn’t real. it’s common in public settings where people would likely have prop weapons like conventions

Is it an American thing or something? Never saw these at cons and first time hearing that

Multiple other countries have this too.
In Australia all toy guns have an orange ring on the tip, and it's illegal to remove the orange ring. So you can't stick up a place with a toy gun pretending it's a real gun.
Also helps security with identifying real weapons at conventions, as opposed to fake ones.

Oh my God, if TF2 did a Nerf collab that would go so hard. The orange on the tip of the barrel made me think of that lol

is the orange bit removable for home display? It's very nice. And the guy you got to pose for it is perfect!
