Where can I buy one ? and how much damage to my wallet?
This is wicked! I love it!
@schweinhund227. This prop/model is sold by a small company called Doopydoo's.....
http://www.doopydoos.com/star-wars-props-and-replicas-31-c.asp
Their website doesn't seem to be active at the moment
, i sent several emails and had no replies, a shame because they also sold a DLT-19 Heavy Blaster kit which i wanted. The model i have Santa (family) picked up from eBay from Doopydoos themselves for about £40, i'm not 100% sure as it was a present. If you would like i can keep an eye on the UK ebay for you and grab one if it comes up, they sell quite quickly i believe when they do come on ebay. Just let me know if you want me to have a look for you, i'm on ebay all the time anyways. lol
@ziz. Thanks for the ideas, yeah cheating and making the end thinner while keeping the rest slightly thicker sounds like a good idea because i dont want to make the muzzle to brittle, i'm not too sure this resin would take kindly to too much punishment.
Well i just got in from work so no modelling yet today but i have been sneaking a look now and then at the Alclad website, i think i'm going to try the regular line of paints and go with Aluminium over a grey primer. I'm after a bare metal look not a polished metal look.....I'm hoping to make this look like a real weapon thats worn through lots of use, i dont think that a high shine metal look would look that real on a weapon.
My E11 has a fairly intact paint scheme and looks 'clean' just the way the Empire likes things, i'm hoping to chip and weather this a little more.....apologies for the mess in the back ground. lol
I'll hit the hardware/Destroy It Yourself stores tomorrow and look for a conical carving bit of some kind, i do have a Dremel with a sanding wheel which i may try tonight if i'm feeling awake enough to try. lmao
Thanks for looking
TTFN Matt
