My life is an unending quest of building and modding.

 

Like, right now... I've started modding a Kashyyyk Trooper helmet so that the hood and faceplate are hinged like a Scout. Which is also a learning project as I am learning the art of fiberglassing.

 

And now, I'm working on a 10% larger Scout to fit my big fat melon of a head.

 

I'll post finished pictures soon. I need to find what box I packed it.

Very Nice For A Remake Of A Blaster From Storm Troopers

They liked it plain black, without the silver wear, the new, or slightly new looking finish. I'm thinking maybe I could have toned it down with a wash with some dark brown.

 

You know... I forgot to add the targeting strips on to the muzzle sights. I'll have to find my adhesive foil, and break out the double blade X-acto.

Super job. I just weathered a pair of DC 15's myself, but instead of using silver paint, I used a lead pencil. It will take longer but the graphite in the pencil gives off a really nice bare metal finish. Apply it to the edges where something would weather naturally. Graphite powder and cue tips do the same job. The key I found was to be subtle and not over do it.

Lots of lathe work, and some minor assemble. Killin' time while I get the biker scout chest armor in order. More photos to come.

Adding some overlooked details. I hate when that happens. A major one on the clip and a minor one on the barrel.

Coming together nicely.

I upgraded the bolt from a thin 1/4" x 20 up to a 1/2" x 13. Fat and sturdy. Reaming the holes on the midsection and the handle, then tapping them was not easy.

Another detail, the center ring clips for holding the sight to the gun

Acrylic is all you need.

And then bonded the stock to the grip on the gun.

Maybe some more work tomorrow.
