With great trepidation, I think I shall attempt to contribute something to this guild. I've been putting together a costume, and will probably post that at some point once it's all put together. I've just done a few simple modifications to the wonderful Nerf Maverick. There's a paint job, which I need to correct in a few places that are bugging me and then seal. I also cut away a few pieces so the barrel swings out fully and did a couple other mods to give it a bit more of a boost to the firepower. As this was my first time modifying a nerf gun, I did mess up a bit, so it doesn't shoot consistantly anymore, but I don't mind, since I had fun playing around with it. I know what I did wrong, and can correct that in the future.
Ah, but enough of my mad ramblings; I shall post a few pictures for your viewing and critiquing pleasure.

October 13th, 2008 addition:
Today I was bored and had access to a few key materials, a relatively inexpensive jumpdrive, a couple of exacto-knives, my supply of paints, and a bit of extra time on my hands. I'll admit, the cog, hrm, etching, for lack of a better word, was done with some rather inefficient tools. One knife I had was blunt, the other one so large as to be unwieldy. However, I feel I did an adequate job in capturing some essence of the brass cog. I do apologize for the rather fuzzy images, my camera decided it did not want to focus properly today, ah well. While not really steam, it is more of fitting into the color-scheme and idea of it. Without further ado, for your critiquing pleasure, my little jumpdrive.:
