Jreeveo Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Ok, so I cant apply for my badge yet 'cause my Garrison are being painful slow in clearing me (they took 2 weeks just to tell me my pictures weren't big enough, now a week into my second attempt) So In the mean time thought I'd best make sure my blaster is up to scratch, so here it is: What d'you all think? (need to bronze the scope for screen accurate weathering and sort out the lenses, but other than that) Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnie_DK[TK] Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Why have you weathered the T-tracks? They are supposed to be made of black plastic(or rubber, depending on who you ask). Otherwise nice build Edited December 11, 2012 by Arnie_DK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 overall it's a well done piece... some weathering suggestions: scope: brass, lightly weathered, with some 'transparent' areas of black and small edging showing brass hengstler counter: front section is brass, weathered, but the front clip is black plastic, and the tips (if they were there would be aluminum) rear is grey or tan plastic. grip with trigger group: grip itself is glossy black plastic. no silver should be present. T Tracks: black plastic only. no texture or wear should show. body of gun should show only slight wear and be gunmetal/pewter, areas of slight wear and rust showing only very little. overall texture of the body of the blaster should be attempting to simulate zinc phosphate parkerized finish painted flat black. areas of wear in the paint can show layers of different blacks, down to the gunmetal. a layer of primerlike rust can be used around minimal wear to simulate layers of wear.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Depends on how accurate you want to be, for me I would say go with it and well done trooper. Good luck with approval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Looks good to me. Vern has good weathering tips. If you choose to do so you'll have an even better looking blaster. Seems to be a doopy build no? -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreeveo Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hey Vern cheers for the input, do you suggest any good wips or have any good photos to better illustrate your points? Maybe some pics of your blaster to help me along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 my blasters usually don't have much wear on them. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/22887-resin-blaster-with-real-scope-and-counter/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
