ESB correct sidearm interest topic

I love mine! I'm about to paint it and I'm just curious... is it a reddish brown or a brownish red color?

Both... :lol:
Sorry could not help myself! for me is was a kind of brown with some red in the mix? but the ref pics is all we have and the lighting wasn't great? I'd just go with what you see on screen bud... (y)
The one in Indy-Solo's post was painted by me.

FANTASTIC work!!!

thank you so much for doing the run!!!

Just awesome. Looking forward to painting it.

Nice job Spidey!
Is that bronze and graphite used for weathering the metal parts? I like the look of it.
 
Very nice paint up on the barrel Alex, will need to tap you up on techniques? ;)
I will have a couple made per request this weekend but after that the run starts to dry up... (y)
 
Gav, got mine today, really awesome work !!!!(y)

Thanks to Volkerc and Mojo to make thes beauties available ! (y)

Has anyone found a HUMBROL color for painting the ESB sidearm ?
 
Hi Gav

Forgot to mention I got mine a few days ago too...Lovely piece of work.. thx man... :)

Regarding the paint scheme, Humbrol do not do one that even comes close, however, after days of hunting I have found Plasti-Kote Red Oxide... it's perfect!!

Will paint mine up over the weekend...

Spidey... luv ya paint scheme bro... awesome!
 
Glad ya got it safe Shiv! (y)
looking forward to this paint up...

Got a couple of kits ready to go out the door if anyone wants one! ;)
 
Grab these kits guys.... they are cool and anyone from Europe... Plasti-kote Red Oxide is your paint...

Gav, will PIMP this blaster up soon... did I tell you I may even add a hint of Gold to it.... :D, lets face it, it's never been out of the holster has it? :D
 
I was just reviewing this thread and forgot to share pics of my ESB pistol… The paint job is slightly idealized and the trigger and pins were not installed when I took this pic. If I recall I just used primer red, which I think is a little bit off. I’ve been going through the Floquil colors and think there are one or two that may be closer to the screen used color. I may end up repainting it, if I find the time. The other blaster in the pic is one of the Bespin security blasters (cast off of a screen used one).
