SupaTrooper Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I told you it would look stunning outside. Try a more neutral colored background so it doesn't detrack from the blaster details. awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sskunky Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Awesome work. That's going to be fun to troop with! Thanks mate, I think even If I had the strength to hold it while trooping I doubt I would get away with it legally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james007bond[TK] Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Awesome work. That's going to be fun to troop with! Unfortunatley, in the UK from a legal point of view we are not allowed to troop with deacs and the UKG certainly does not allow this practice.... this was the reason why I had to scrap my real sterling build.... sob, sob....

Fox1196 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 That looks awesome. i think it would look cooler with an all black finish. but then again i like shiny things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskunky Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 That looks awesome. i think it would look cooler with an all black finish. but then again i like shiny things I have to disagree with that, I see to many shiny repainted Sterling conversions and I have to say living with it for a while I'm glad I didn't go the shiny new look. I personally love the screen used look of it. But hey it's all down to personal taste and if you like shiny make yours shiny There no wrong or right when it comes down to personalization, That's what make us all individuals.

RogueTrooper[TK] Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Brilliant Job Mark! Great detail, I love that you did not strip down the M38 and the Sterling and repaint them (keep it accurate to the originals) . Battle weathering is superior as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskunky Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) Thanks mate. I love the been kicking around for 30 odd years look. Edited September 30, 2010 by sskunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks mare. I love the been kicking around for 30 odd years look. That's what I am doing with my real Sterling. Like you, I am leaving it with that kicked around 30 odd years look as well Also, if it was pristine, I would feel like banging my head against something if it got a little ding or scatch to it.. That's what I love about the concept that Lucas had about the SW Universe (the lived in / used look) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Vern I'm currently working on a very special custom blaster using one of my Sterlings. I'm sure some people will have some strong views about it Also making a special display case for it, so stay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrooperguy[501st] Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 very nice! i didn't strip mine, but i did paint it. that left the texture underneath and gave it a feel of something that's seen some battles but has been maintained / cleaned up often. i ultimately decided that i couldn't deal with the differences in color between all the different pieces. the counter, scope and gun didn't look like all one part on mine.
