Looks really great. Cool idea of using the semi-gloss clear coat for more of a metallic look. A note, somewhat nitpicky, but the left side of the gun should typically have some more scratches on it than the right side. This is because (at least applying real life military practices) on patrols the rifle will typically be resting against a infantrymans (or Colonial Marines) gear causing scratches from metal buckles, buttons or just general abrasions. Including slings, because most shooters are right handed so the sling will mount to the left side.
It's the finish the was used on the black gun body parts and shrouds, produced by Bapty & Simon Atherton, for Aliens. This sheen detail can be seen in just about every propstore auction for screen matched/used PRs. Neither the gun body or shrouds were coated in flat, or full gloss. They were both Satin. I was going for as close to movie accurate while still being as Neill Blomkamp-y as possible.
Fantastic! I was pumped after seeing the concept art for Blomkamp’s film- your rifle is a great tribute to a film I really wanted to see. Thanks for the detailed step by step! Cheers man
This mod looks extremely effective! Amazing how something looking so toy like at first can then look like a genuine movie prop with some work and dedication.
FANTASTIC Job! Personally I dont like the add-ons, but the paint job and weathering are spot on! I'll be using this as a reference video when my blaster arrives!
A perfect ispiration for my soon Pulse Rifle when i got them..hopefully🤗...🤔! Now finally, it have been arrive. I was very suprised at how big this thing is. Now i will remove some parts of my pulse rifle and try to designe that according to your principle like yours, but whitout the lazer and the additional equipment. A little tip from me..in the inner opening, where the speaker is located, glue it to minimize the deafening noise or possible seal the speaker slightly. Greetings of Alexis from Zurich-Switzerland🙃🖖
I missed out on the pre-order for this blaster, but oh man am I excited to get one second-hand and make it look good! Thanks for the step-by-step, lots of useful ideas and techniques in here!
Looks incredible dude! I can’t believe this toy exists! I think I ran around with a 2x8 piece of wood with a drawing of the pulse rifle on it as a kid! I’m definitely going to try some of this on mine!
Shogun, that's a fantastic Alien 4 concept Rifle conversion, you've made the most naff replica Pulse rifle that I've ever seen look like the perfect replica.
Damn you Scott we could have had the ALIEN 3/5 that should have been , Having said that, I still like David fincher's directors cut, But Blomkamp's rendition would have made history and put the franchise back on track. Anyway I'm digressing on this amazing piece of memorabilia and talent, got yourself a new sub from down under, keep up the great content as I love that you use rattle cans and imagination to create an amazing hero prop from such an iconic movie :)
WOW!!! Just WOW!!! I mean absolutely impressed! It’s not just about getting the details down, it’s about the feel that goes into it. It makes a difference in the outcome. I just found this channel and so far 👌👌👌 I’ve been watching other modification videos but this is different. It’s like night and day. Thanks for what you do. It’s the real deal. 👍🙌🔥
Excellent work on the mod. It definitely looks more like a screen used version now. All the extra added stuff reminds me of the mods you can add to the rifle in Aliens Colonial Marines (yes, we all know the game was a disaster but being able to mod your pulse rifle was cool).
I purchased one of these myself with the intention of making it look screen accurate to go with my alien collection. Your efforts go far beyond anything I expected to see and taking it to the next level with the additional accessories too! Your outcome could not have come out any better I'm blown away that its the same piece of plastic iv been terrorising my girlfriend with for the last month! A massive thankyou for documenting your process I will certainly have this video on hand when I get round to doing the same thing to mine. Very impressive David, Cheers!
awesome effect and a great guid too, tempted to paint mine up now too. A great way to weather the chipping effect is a spong and Tamiya silver paint, dap very lightly to give a chipping effect too.
Absolutely brilliant job, have modded my Snow Wolf similar to yours. Will be doing the same to my Nerf which I eventually tracked down in France. Will do this one like a new pulse rifle as the Snow Wolf is weathered like yours. But I’ll be using your brilliant video as reference. So I sincerely thank you for sharing. Keep up the fantastic work man!!
Bro this is fantastic! For sure the best one I have seen so far, It's hard to want to add things to an iconic gun but everything you added was super tasteful and blended perfectly. I'm getting close to jumping down a rabbit whole for mine as well, even as far as to make my own foam M-40 grenades to shoot out, If I get it working Ill be sure to send some your way, awesome build man!
Truly a masterpiece. I’m thinking of starting with the screen-inspired Olive drab for the one I just got, then I’ll likely buy two more and make the behind-the-scenes Brown-Bess version and the jet black Weyland-Yutani commando version from Alien3
That is some sweet work there, loving al the modding people are doing with these rifles. If people want to duplicate, there are cheap PEQ boxes which are non working cases, that are cheap on Amazon.
Oh man using the dremel tool on the PVC while cutting towards your hand gave me the chills. And the little jump it did... Regardless, the end product looks sick!
Update: got my Nerf Pulse rifle just today! Will buy all the paints and markers next :) Had to come and see this video again, maybe I´ll make my own video of the modding too.
dear lord this is fantastic - this is the first time i have seen your channel but this gets an instant subscribe ( and if i ever get my hands on one of these pulse rifles....maybe i can pay ya some cash to do mine like this lol )
Very nice! Looks like the real thing. :) I think I would have painted the battery compartment just for consistency. Also, no distressed spots on the magazine? Seems like there should be some silver showing from it no doubt having been slid into the gun and removed many times over the years.
That looks amazing!! The best one I've seen so far. We have extremely strict gun laws in Australia so I doubt this product will ever be for sale here - especially given how people have been modding it to look like the movie replicas. Shame really as I would have loved to make a cosplay of a Colonial Marine.
I've had mine sitting in a box since 2022 . It's out on a shelf now but man I don't have the guts to start modding it and painting it incase I destroy it.
That looks amazing man. I have been scratch building from scrap NERF parts and glue and metal plumber's tape and random stuff for years. I have the main body done, but the shroud is tough to make from scratch. Any suggestions for NERF screws? They always seem to break on the heads or strip. Have a good holiday if that is your thing. Joel
That is a thing of beauty, the concept mods really bring it to life, if the Colonial Marines ever return to the big screen this is the way to go!
For the people asking - the paint is Olive Drab 24087 Semi-Gloss from rapcoparts

@@AShogunNamedDavid Definitely looks good. Gonna have to copy this paint for sure.
I guess then I’ll be okay with this take on the finish since I’m left handed! 😁

Epic🦾🔥🔥🔥🔥child of the 70’s so was lucky enough to see the aliens film when it came out in 1986
That's absolute badass! Incredible work and attention to detail - Aliens is the GOAT 👏
Awesome job, Aliens is my no.1 movie of all time and your mod was an excellent recreation of the weapon. The additions just made it even cooler.
DEFO ONE OF THE BEST PULSE RIFLES OUT THERE OS U GOT THE ONE DETAIL THAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO FORGET THE AMMO COUNTER
Much appreciated
Great video! Very thorough and generous with the techniques of the mod. Love that you took it through to the Blomkamp version.
My favorite movie of all time. Your work is incredible, and completely badass move is having the Aliens James Horner Score in the background.
Damn you Scott we could have had the ALIEN 3/5 that should have been , Having said that, I still like David fincher's directors cut, But Blomkamp's rendition would have made history and put the franchise back on track.

I finally just ordered this thing! Back on Hasbro Pulse and for members it was 25% off with free shipping!
This is the relatively detailed tutorial I was looking for.. got my rifle recently, but wasn't confident to start. I am now. Cheers from Australia!

You did a Fireteam Elite on it. Nice!
Well, to be fair, Neill Blomkamp accessorized the pulse rifle long before FTE was even in development.
I had no idea Hasbro made this! Thank you!
This looks awesome! Needs a Colonial marines decal or some manufacturing copy similar to what you see on an HK416. Would be good details added.
Love the music in background, very nice touch.... The Pulse Rifle is banging badassery!!!
I love videos like this! Epic job on this mate, it looks REALLY good.
So awesome! This is exactly what I had in mind when I pre-ordered mine last year. Do you have links for the parts you added?
Shoot me a PM on Facebook and I'll get you the links.
Nice job on the comp. I thought it was an airsoft one. Beautiful work all together and looks ready to bag some of Ridley’s bad guys!
Absolutely brilliant job, have modded my Snow Wolf similar to yours. Will be doing the same to my Nerf which I eventually tracked down in France. Will do this one like a new pulse rifle as the Snow Wolf is weathered like yours. But I’ll be using your brilliant video as reference. So I sincerely thank you for sharing. Keep up the fantastic work man!!
LOVELY work and a great idea to do the Blomkamp version. Great use of techniques and materials.
Awesome job brother, I give you the 1st place !! 💯🏆
Found this video from your comment on Blomkamp's original instagram post. Awesome job!
The algorithms are working 🥰
Holding down the button makes the count go up by 5
It's absolutly fantastic!!! ... omg .. i bought the Nerf and hope i will manage that like you .... thanks for this Video ... Greetings Marc
Just ordered mine!!! Cant wait till it gets here🤘🏼🤘🏼
Let me know if you want it modded 😉

Total crazy, but excellent stuff. Awesome and realistic!👍
GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!
Awesome rifle! Very cool! 👍
Super cool! Classic! Subed.

absolutely godlike
That's impressive work sir. I got my pulse rifle the other day. I haven't decided to do any mods yet. If I do I will use this video as a guide.
Wow that looks incredible. Amazing work.
Very nicely done. If it's not too much trouble, could you add a list of all the paints and rifle attachments you used?

Oh, these hands have seen accidents like that AND WORSE.
Man that looks AWESOME!! The only other thing i would have done is fill in the screw holes.
Only someone who thinks their electronics are invincible would do that.
@@AShogunNamedDavid I see your point. But anyways you did an outstanding job.
@@m1a1hm much obliged, my dude!
@@AShogunNamedDavid hi I just got a pulse rifle and just found out you paint? Are you still doing this I’m new to the game lol
@@bryanpeters749 shoot me an email or a message on Facebook.
Looks great! Thanks for putting so much work into your editing too!
This looks more badass and with more heart than the matrix version😮..
Fantastic work. you can hold down the ammo counter button to go up in increments of 5.
Precision work here, excellent.
Nicely done! Need to get started on mine
Absolutely excellent job 👏 👍 👌 🙌 😀
Damn this is amazing! I’d love to see you do one with OW Soldier 76’s blaster
Amazing! Ima do it!
Looks so sick
Love the aliens music
Absolutely fukin awesome!! Had to take a look and found ONE Nerf Aliens gun available in Finland. I've always wanted to have a M-41A !!
Update: got my Nerf Pulse rifle just today! Will buy all the paints and markers next :) Had to come and see this video again, maybe I´ll make my own video of the modding too.
Genuinely amazing
Thanks Ridley Scott......... *_Ya DlCK!!!_*
(* You know he SHlT-Canned Neil's chance to make 'ALIEN V' (?)
Ok now i want one
Hell ya
Great job and thanks. I just picked one up. Now I know what to do. Lol. Cheers.
Ordered mine a year ago. Looking forward getting it in!
Omg it's awesome, nice weathering paint job.
Appreciated.
"Absolutely badass!! " (Hudson)
Thank you! I can't wait to do this to mine.
dear lord this is fantastic - this is the first time i have seen your channel but this gets an instant subscribe ( and if i ever get my hands on one of these pulse rifles....maybe i can pay ya some cash to do mine like this lol )
*Bows*
Hope you enjoy future content.
Very nice! Looks like the real thing. :)
I think I would have painted the battery compartment just for consistency. Also, no distressed spots on the magazine? Seems like there should be some silver showing from it no doubt having been slid into the gun and removed many times over the years.
No, you allow the magazine to wear naturally from coming in and out of the mag well, and then you color the worn parts with a silver sharpie.
This is stunning! Amazing work!
WOW!!!!!
FANTASTIC!!!
That looks amazing!! The best one I've seen so far. We have extremely strict gun laws in Australia so I doubt this product will ever be for sale here - especially given how people have been modding it to look like the movie replicas.

Fantastic job and fantastic video!
Absolutely brilliant mod and video..
Very nice.
Amazing job 💪🤓
Awesome modding here 😍
Just got mine, wow yours is sick!!!!
Amazing! Great work mate
AMAZING !
nice job man. looks awesome!
I've had mine sitting in a box since 2022 . It's out on a shelf now but man I don't have the guts to start modding it and painting it incase I destroy it.
You COULD send it to me to mod for you LOL
Awesome
Amazing
beautiful work
First off, incredible build, so unbelievably cool! How are you anchoring the screws for the pictinny rails into the plastic though?
Very nice work!
Awesome video!
Outstanding !
Holy crap that’s cool! ❤
U can make the ammunition count go up faster if u press and hold the button
That looks amazing man. I have been scratch building from scrap NERF parts and glue and metal plumber's tape and random stuff for years.

i never got why the F they didn't give Blompkamp a chance , he would have nailed an alien movie!
Great video. Is there links to the materials used such as paints and custom add ons?
