I have always painted the blasters I send with white poster paint and mark "White Space Toy" on the customs forms. Also, UPS seems to get stuff through UK customs the best.
I have half my back done, 3/4 of my right leg (all Star Wars), about 1/4 of my left leg and then others thrown in randomly
So here is some of my- work kinda...

and some older pics of my thigh...more has been worked on:

Just an FYI...they are currently out of 9, 10 and 11 sizes. And as indicted above, there is a run to be complete in 6 to 7 weeks.
Now I have to wait to spend the money!
I disagree that Staff members should not be allowed to be voted for. There are several staff members that have gone above and beyond.
I vote that staff are elligble.
Also, I nominate, Smitty, TK 2126 MD, and Stomper. And more to come!
LOL...not sure about that....maybe when I can
But as of right now, I will help anyone trying to get blasters into europe or spray paint for that matter
DEfinitely use sandable primer and Rustoleum Pro Enamel.
I had never painted anything liek my bucket before (I had painted my jeep and a deer blind with rattle can but it was a rush job)
It was really easy to use both the primer (Only needed to be lightly sanded) and the Pro Enamel.
So today at work, I received a package:
It is a package from my friend Billy across the pond. Now I didn't know what to expect,
he said it would be a surprise....but man was I blown away by what was in the box:
Now I just need my undersuit and boots!!
Thanks again Billy!!!!
IT'S DONE!!!! I know it's not the best looking one...but I am darn proud. This is my first model/replica ever finished.
Again, I couldn't have done it without Billy.
Thanks also go out to CAP, Mike (TK4510), Missingpieces and all the staff and great members on this site!
Off to go work on a blaster!
Got the paint run fixed!
Now all I got to do is paint the small details!
Thanks again to Billy and Paul!
Finally have contributed something useful! LOL
Next up....the blaster!
Oh don't worry Billy! The blaster is being worked on as we speak!
Alas...I have found that there is a paint run on my bucket! So I will have to sand it out and re-spray...more waiting...
Yep busted the cherry!
After two coats of Rustoleum Pro Enamel Gloss White:
Got to let it sit
But I bought the Testors 1138 and I got a week off without pay so I have time.........
Alright...this is how it started.
I used Rustoleum Plastic Primer....
That stuff is shiny!
I don't know what I was scared of...that was pretty easy. Got a little on my Jeep though...
Thanks to Missingpieces, Mike, and Billhag!
More to come...gonna put another layer on later
So because Billy has kicked me in the butt for letting my CAP helmet sit on a shelf uncomplete and collecting dust....I am going to finish it.
Here it is:
Right after I opened the box:
Billy lit a fire underneath me and I am nervous as this is my first helmet and my first attempt at painting.
More to come later tonight........
