Superjedi,

Looks amazing...There are some red tones in the ESB screen used prop. Looks like a soft blending with a rust tone similar to the Jedi version but not a harsh.

Hats off to yah man

LOVE the way it came out Eric.....Beautiful work, as always

OK, after re-reconsidering, I've decided to go with the original pink color scheme.
I've hacked apart the blaster to make painting easier.
Here's the main body of the Webley.

Here's what I'm hoping to match as far as the overall paint scheme.

And the sidearm concept that I plan to recreate:

So watch for lots of pretty pretty updates! :love

Oh pink, thats just super, my favourite, how about a nice ribbon hanging off the stock?

Dude you've done an awesome job so far, I can't wait to see the sidearm take shape!! :cheers

I love this M16... But not pink, I like it BLACK

Good Work SJ

Pink?? What was I thinking??

UPDATE: March 4th

PHASE II: Sidearm

OK, don't really have any in progress pics of this piece. The paint job was very basic. I sprayed the whole blaster with Floquil Zinc Chromate Primer. I really like this color, and it shifts a bit from brownish-red to slightly more "orangey" depending on how strong the light is.
I gave it 2 coats, then 2 coats of Krylon matte clear. The Krylon is actually more of a cross between matte and satin.

For the exposed barrel and insert, there was some very tricky masking involved. I masked off the straight portions with some blue painters tape (love this stuff!) and I wound up painting on some Winsor & Newton masking fluid for the curves where the inserts "enter" the gun body.
Once I had made sure to burnish down the tape really well, I sprayed on some Testors metalizer in Stainless Steel. I let it dry per the directions, then buffed it with an old T-shirt. It brought it up to a really nice shine!
For a final touch, I used a small brush to paint the barrel "interior" with flat black.

So that's it, gang! Mr. Bulloch is ready to be armed and dangerous! I'll be packing these up to send to TX by the end of the week.
Thanks for following along!

Nice! One thing, what Flash Tube Cell you have used for the EE-3?

Thanks

 

[superjedi]

It's a Heiland flash used for the EE-3 barrel. I think either Christian or Spideyfett found it, I can't remember. :confused
It's chrome plated, so it looks really nice!
