The phillips (or is it Philips, as in Royal Dutch Philips?) screws in the Nerf Nitefinder gun are 1/8". Good old SAE. Since I found this fact out thanks to Richie kindly letting me use his "guitar repair ONLY, dammit!" set of mini-screwdrivers, I need to find my very own to, shall we say, "screw around" with my Nerf guns

Best place to find those screwdrivers: Big Lots or the equivalent. (I think it's Odd Lots in some parts of the country.) Second best place: the occasional "bargain bins" of tools you sometimes see at gas stations. If you really have to have first quality, a good auto parts store will have them

Gonna do it gangsta style...

...and spray paint it with automotive paint. I've been given some very good advice from some people who do killer props. I will be using the same paint a Rebel Legion friend of mine used to paint my food capsules for my Jedi belt. It's great stuff and yields a truly metallic-feeling object regardless of what material you started out with. Like plastic, for example. Which is what the food capsules are made out of.

I hope you refresh because I just put up the link to the page I set up to track progress on this costume.
