For fun, I started painting and customizing a replica gun, the Han Solo blaster. Cheap to buy on Amazon. Why not? I should have known better....
Last year I bought, painted and customized 14 Star wars blasters.
Since painting them needed to be done in open air with the right temperature and no rain, I really got fixated on the weather. I live in a 4 season country.
First trying to open up the gun to add sound & light, if possible. After that sanding off the legal texts, filling up screwholes, priming, layer 1, coating, layer 2, applying metal wear and tear, highlighting them and add shading. Far more wortk than I antipepated, but it pays of.
I will display all of these blasters in this thread.
They are:
Battle Droid E-5 blaster
Stormtrooper E-11 blaster
First Order trooper SE-44c blaster
General Grievous DT-57 blaster
Clone trooper DC-15 blaster
Clone commander DC-15A rifle
Lightsaber Luke Skywalker, return of the Jedi (green)
Jango Fett WESTAR-34 blaster
Boba Fett EE-3 rifle
Princess Leia DDC defender blaster
Han Solo DL-44 blaster
Rey LPA NN-14 blaster
Darth Vader lightsaber (red)
Bootleg stormtrooper blaster
Rebel trooper blaster DH-17
First one is the Grievous Blaster which I painted metal.
The original looked like this:
