Griffin-X Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I like Krylon...that Rustoleum has always given me a headache with projects. Great work on these blasters BTW... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Surprisingly the stuff i have the best luck with is the Colorplace Walmart brand paint. At 97 cents per can the finish is ALWAYS flawless without a single run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 So what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Some great detail on the casting, nice work. Is the black on the gun considered a base "undercoat"? Also, what is the weight on it? I would like to get one, prime it, paint it flat black, and weather it up. These look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 This one is painted a gloss black. I think it might be a bit too glossy. I wish I didn't have to paint them at all since they are cast in black resin but the different textures on the blaster parts require paint to give the blaster a uniform finish. That only pertains to the blaster though since its a sculpt. The Scope doesnt suffer from this effect since its found part and the different textures work out for the better on the scope. According to my bathroom scales the blaster weighs about 1.3 pounds. I think what Im gonna do is go ahead and start production but only offer raw castings kits for the time being. I'll pour you one up for $75 shipped. Shoot me a PM if you dont wanna wait for the production thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I have just finished my Smitty pistol, I drilled holes in some of the parts, added a nut to one side and a bolt in the other so I can join it all up without any glue.A bit of light sanding and fillering, a coat of primer and a final coat of black matt, polished in places to highlight the different textures and the pistol is done, A nice pistol and not heavy, thanks Smitty.
