Joatrash, that looks amazing. Does the Alclad have decent adhesion, or does it have a tendency to scrape?

Thanks.

I'll copy-paste a response from the sales thread that will answer that!

"Alclad II "chrome", applied with an airbrush. You need to use their special clear coat as well though, since the chrome rubs off otherwise. You can see in the photo where it came off in places before I added the clear coat. The Alclad clear does NOT dull the shine like other clear paints do. Also note that you should "mist" it on over a black high-gloss base."

Awesome, good to know. I know a few people were having issues coating their Phasma helmets with it.

I threw a quick coat of Alclad II onto some parts. Missing some screws and I should have trimmed a couple areas a bit more before painting but I just wanted to get a sense of how it will look when done, since I almost never get to see my own props finished these days.

Are you planning onto updating the handle grips? Right now they are missing the little flaring the originals have at the top:

(sorry, i don't have any reference pictures at hand ATM, so I'm using my personnal 3D model)

Yeah, I actually changed the pattern a while back, just haven't gotten around to printing them up yet so I used a set I already had for the paint test. Here's a w-i-p render I did while I was working on them.

definitely considering machining one. from the first time i saw it i thought it would look so beautiful in aluminium and stainless.

Parts of SW posted this earlier:

Really love that design. Fits perfectly in the scheme of SW blasters.

andyroo · Dec 19, 2015

I love this blaster!
Could the main body of it be an electrical device of some kind - an external hard drive etc?

Not likely. I would not bet on anything but it being machined, probably directly from concept art. Main props in modern blockbusters are almost always made from scratch these days, without the use of found parts, because it gives a much higher degree of future-proofing as well as enabling the designers to do whatever they want without being bound by any constraints. (As has been established earlier, the grips are most likely castings of either 3d printed or real modified Mauser grips. I would assume the former, going by the law of least resistance.)
