The only thing I recommend is getting some Star Wars looking guns, I can tell all those are toy military guns/ air soft guns.
Hi all,
I decided to drop the MP5 shortly after posting the pics.
Although the guns have been dusted with silver spray, with highlighted/raised areas this didn't show-up on the photos.
I originally set out to buy/make a blaster, but got easily swayed by cheap BB guns.
At the moment my main weapon is the shotgun, of which i do intend to modify in the near future.

Our visit to Collectormainia at the weekend was a great tester for our outfits.
The only issue that i had was the barrel tip of the shotgun rubbing on my leg armour when walking, hence that i lost a bit of paintwork... but i'm not going to repaint it, as i now have my first bit of weathering that some of you like to have.
As for any future weathering... NO CHANCE!
My armour will only be weathered by accidents and time itself.
As for the shine?
Following comments at the weekend, and how i now feel about the overall look, i've decided not to dull the shine at all. Like Valcar said to me, "The Jango's out there would kill for a shine like that!" Again, time will dull it.
During the whole time that i wore the armour: Approx 7 hours, i must have posed for approx 200 solo pics and approx an additional 260 pics with Valcar. It got to the point where we just stood between to pillars, not in anyones way so people could just come up and take as many pics as they wanted. Scared the hell out of a couple of people who thought i was a statue as i had stood still so long
I think we were photographed more than the Colonial Marines and they're pet Alien or the Daleks!
BTW>The Daleks were fully mobile, had voice vocoders, and were very witty and entertaining
