Re: Working on some more props: 3 Jan - IG88 blaster
You're too kind, Arturo. I still haven't built the sling blaster kit of yours yet!
My schermuly casting is about ready for a coat of black. I'm using zinc aluminium primer for the first time that Markus introduced me to. It can be buffed to a nice shiny metallic finish and will show through the black after weathering. Still waiting for my second M38 to arrive from the USA.
More progress on the IG88 blaster.
And making slings for my various A280s and Bossk's blaster.

Don't dangle the "Hey I got a new primer" and not clue us in to the brand!
:lol
I'm hoping to get my sling done fairly soon. With the amount of time I've spent on building/rebuilding my Endor blaster I was almost to the point of whether I keep it, sell it, or smash it to pieces. :lol I don't know if I could handle doing another one!

Re: Working on some more props: 11 Jan - More 3P0 and IG88 blaster work
Going to get the shins and calves vacuum metalized again after installing new smaller hinges and repairing several cracks. Here they are wetsanded up to 2500 grit and buffed. I wish I had spent this much time prepping the rest of the parts before they were plated!
Added the rounded underside to the IG88 blaster. With only 3 reference photos to work from and two of them a blurred mess it's difficult to see exactly what details have been added here. I'm going to get taller styrene strips.

Re: Working on some more props: 11 Jan - More 3P0 and IG88 blaster work
The thing that bugs the hell out of me is that we know Lucasfilm probably has all these pics already. Then they put out books that don't give us good views of them. Maybe someone will do a prop version of Brandon's costume book with proper pics.

Re: Working on some more props: 15 Jan - ESB blaster progress
Only one small problem. The scope rings are all on the wrong way round! And the clamping plate, knob and pin are not used. It's going to be tricky to fix this due to the holes already drilled/tapped in the scope rings and scope rails
