Ossus501ch Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Great work! all you need now is to make the grip handle gloss. everything else is shaping up quite well. there are some suggestions I'd make, but I'll wait until you're complete to offer them up for consideration! some simple color correction on the bolt in paint scheme. the strip in the center of the bolt should be gunmetal silver and the bolt itself is more of a grey steel color, like a two tone set of colors. again the mods you've made really help to make it look more real. only a few paint details left for a perfect finish! Hi. Lot of thanks! With bolt You mean this also , wich is actually black ? As I can remove it easily, would be possible. Do You have a picture maybe of how it should look? Would help much. Grey steel I have. Silver I would have to get. On most pics on internet they are black. I'll make a test and show.

Ossus501ch Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 More pics: The bolt. I dont know - because of wording - whats meant with center strip maincolor now metal / metalgray is it - here - that flat part on the side that needs to be silver ??? or is it that one looked from front ?

Ossus501ch Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Here also the "grip handle" or how I understood it Maybe by luck I saw a small pistol on the net somewhere where only the hatched part is glossy. The area arround ist still flat. I think that pic shows that well. @Bondservnt: what You think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmcguff Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I have a real sterling. The entire grip/handle is shiny, Not just the grip area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossus501ch Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Okay, thanks :-) here an update about this: grip/handle all in black gloss now and the bolt (thanks for pic bondservnt!) not so sure about the flat bottom end if silver too can be overpainted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossus501ch Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Latest corrections (thanks to: TK Bondservnt 2392) 1) bolt in metal and strip with silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossus501ch Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) 2) Different colors here and the trigger in black. The folding stock arm I later have repainted with the same black spray again that I generally used for the gun. Its just that with brushpainting the smaller details, there were some dots and I painted the arm over with black flat acryl, wich looks a bit different and didnt really satisfy.

Ossus501ch Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Now some more pics about aging / weathering where I tried to take notice of where the gun will have most damage or aging, so less on top areas and more on low areas and sides: Generally I used dry-paint technique. Wich means to take a good sucking towel (householdpaper) put in the brush brush it out on towel until there is almost no more color on it Swift over edges and unflat surfaces NOTE: Scope lens(es) and counternumber and glass I have mounted AFTER the aging 1) basicly with Iron revell 91 flat email-color Edited August 21, 2013 by Ossus501ch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SorenM[TK] Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Nice weathering, a little more than I personally like, but taste cannot be discussed☺ Just a few minor points. The scope is made of brass, and the screws as well, so the weathering should be brass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the brass maybe then with the next pic it looks better, as I made a sandy weathering after, as I am building a TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossus501ch Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) it maybe or DOES look extreme. Must admit I'm bit in a hurry after building on it now I think more than 6 months and I go to holidays and I have an armor & backpack to build together. Overpaint is possible but I actually I think I only so far gona add the 4loop wire and thats it. The overall result I think I will see when the armor is done. Colors for sandy weathering I used: first XF-60 acryl Tamya (dark yellow flat) then XF-59 acryl tamya (yellow flat) and last XF-68 acryl Tamya (brown flat) Edited August 21, 2013 by Ossus501ch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorenM[TK] Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I must say that it looks quite battered, and thus fits a Sandtrooper well, again it all comes down to preference. It is a nice build indeed. If you have not seen my build, you could check it out, to see a more subtle weathering.... But again, nice blaster!
