SorenM[TK] Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Finished the baselayer of paint. Fixed the bolt, attached the fire selection lever, spring and cocking handle. Started the weathering, which will be slight. I have used four differnt shades of metallic/silver, and primarily used drybrushing, and highlighting techniques. The paint used is the same as I use when I paint Warhammer miniatures. To do list includes continued weathering, filling the screws that attach the folding stock, glossing the handle and T-bars, fixing the scope ends, and making the front on the Hengstler counter.....looks like I will finish before the weekend...fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SorenM[TK] Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Well I managed to 'save' my mistake, and while it is drying I had time to finish the weathering, glossing the handle, filling the folding stock screws, and picking out details on the scope...I think the paint job went quite well😊 Here are some photos in a higher resolution than normal: Scope details and weathering Blaster weathered and detailed Handle glossed Front details Bolt, spring and cockinghandle details ( I know that the number of coils are incorrect, but that will do for now) Magazine details Edited August 21, 2013 by SorenM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SorenM[TK] Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Finished the Hengstler.....it's not good, but it's ok...thanx to Simpixel for the numbers (which will be changed when I get my TK number). The scope ends will be changed eventually..that CD foil is quite hard to work with.....😤😠Is the Hengstler weathered in any way?...cannot seem to find a definite answer..... Scope front end Scope rear end and Hengstler I know that the glass in the counter window is supposed to be rounded, but I've tried without luck...and truth be told, that Hengstler really annoys me right now, so another future upgrade.....

Locitus[Admin] Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'd say the hengstler would be weathered in a similar amount as the other bits. The ones used in the movie had a metal box around the rear end, but the front half has always been plastic. Some hengstlers have a golden/brassy metal and some were just grey-ish metal, like tin. It's unknown which kind was used. Probably both kinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SorenM[TK] Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Weathered the Hengstler, and I also blackened the rear end of the scope, that foil looked ridiculus....will find those aiming/target thingies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorenM[TK] Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Arrrgh misunderstood you Mathias, the front ofcourse means where the counter is....doh!!...have just blackened the front again, and will start weathering the real rear end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SorenM[TK] Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Inspired by Simpixels build, I ordered a cheap monocular on ebay, and the plan is then to insert those lenses into my scope, along with a decal... Additionally I am contemplating adding wires to the counter, and maybe the magazine thingy.....and then its finished.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMpixels Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Been watching this thread with interest Soren, you've done an awesome job. And yes, you're right, our weathering is very similar. A mis-spent youth actually paid off for once! Si. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
