ESB correct sidearm interest topic

Well, I guess I'll throw my hat into the fire: Here is my Mojo sidearm fully painted up (I just have to slap some pins in the body)

Got mine done yesterday.
It's a really easy kit to build! Big thanks to Gav for doing all that prep work. :cheers
It just needed some basic sanding on the seams, and it was ready for paint.
I went with Floquil Zinc Chromate primer, which is a nice reddish-brown color that sort of changes depending on what kind of light it's under. I used a plain ol' Gunmetal acrylic paint for the trigger and attached it with a small length of 4mm styrene rod, also painted Gunmetal on the ends. It's just press fit into place. I'm leaving it 'pristine' for now. I can always do some weathering later. I just like the shiny finish on the ali parts. :)
Here's a couple of shots.

All these pics were taken under the same lighting conditions, so you can see how that Floquil color really can take on a different appearance.
What a great, rare piece to be able to add to my Fett collection! Thanks again for making these available.
 
Wow! :eek: that is pristine and shiny. I like the base color. I almost hated to dirty up my aluminum parts too. They were so nice looking, but I don't think Boba would want something that shiny hanging from his battle uniform. :p

Nice one bro... well it is our day after all? :lol:

Cupluv - PM sent. ;)
 
Painted mine up using the same primer Superjedi posted, polished up the main body with metal polish, and gave the painted parts a slight weathering. Not sure whether to drybrush some metallic to simulate paint erosion or not.

Here she is, the little beauty!
