Custom Mando Blaster - TerrorFirma - Tuesday 17-Feb-2015
So with one of the B pulls from the Shae Vizla mold I decided to do something a bit different for the Mando gunslingers and have a blaster that looks and feels a bit like the .44 Magnum with a modern scope.
So with some of the casting defects in the blaster from the pigment not mixing properly (enter crap stirring from me) i decided to cut the main barrel section and magazine off and reuse an MG-34 barrel that i have drilled in PVC and cut down to the right length to replace it. Will not replace the magazine/power cell at this stage.
After a bit of thought of either using a modern airsoft scope but want to stay away from recognised military and civilian kit and could not be bothered scratch building a scope i relayed i could re-use the cut off barrel in reverse
Now to tidy up the cast defects in the resin, add a floating ally barrel and do some optics mods to the scope and get ready for paint.

To wrap this build up, did my usual grey undercoat, light sand and then the silver base. On this went a flat black top coat.
Then the work on the handle which i wanted a deep rich brown timber (or star wars universe equivalent)

To match my Mando colours I also then added highlights of silver and orange acrylic in the detail areas, finished with a mat clear and inserted tinted blue sheet as the optics. these will be replaced with glass inserts with blue tint over.

Happy with the overall result and adding the weight to the rear of the pistol makes it feel heaps different to the standard She version.

Did you want to borrow my wood grain stencil for airbrushing? It doesn't work with aerosols though :/
