BananoPower22[TK] Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hey everyone, I just want to show you all my finished build. Enjoy Thanks for peeking. It was my first build, so I was pretty scared of ruining something, but know I'm ready for another one! Maybe an ESB one? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I really want to go for weathering but I don't have the slightest idea on how to weather Like Karin said above, use a dry brush technique to add silver paint to edges, corners or anywhere on the blaster that you would like to highlight or give the appearance where the paint has been worn. Just dip a brush into the silver paint and wipe as much paint off the brush as possible, you don't want the brush dripping with paint. Highlight the areas with the silver paint that you want to be battled weathered/scraped up. Then after the silver paint dries, take some steel wool and lightly run it over the areas that you highlighted with silver. The steel wool will give the effect of a worn metal look to the silver paint. The different gauges of steel wool, will also give different levels of battle scars, weathering/scrapes. After you get the weathering to where you want it, you can clear coat it to protect the whole paint job. I would suggest satin because the real E11's had more of a satin finish to them than a high gloss. Experiment on a piece of scrap before doing it to your blaster so you have the technique down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Great looking build! The rustoleum definitely explains the gloss! All my blasters get the 97 cent WalMart Colorplace Flat black spray can. I;m gonna use the Wal Mart gloss white on my next helmet build just to see how it turns out.

john danter Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Get yourself some stuff called rub n buff You just rub this on a cloth or paint brush (little bit) and then just swipe over one or two corners. Thats the easy quick way I like this way also Silver pen on the corners Liquid rubber masquepen on corners over silver Spray over everything. YOu can see the raised rubber on the corners, yes? Rub off Dab clean exposed silver with black paint on a cloth. Also simple but a longer process Edited February 2, 2011 by john danter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
