Bad Blood Cannons For Art -- Done

[SMOKE]

Hey guys

I promised in the vote thread thead that I was going to make one for Art to take photos of use for promotional purposes for the Lair and I'm making good on that.

Here's the progress so far..

Masked off the spheres and Primer Coated it.

Masked of the skin areas leaving all metal parts for painting.

Silvah!!

First layer of weathering.

Some Gold and more Silver. Un masked the skin area.

Masked off the metal and sprayed a base coat of antique white. Pardon my mess..I am 4 builds deep in need of a clean up.

Color and Spots. I used brilliant yellow and crimson red. when they mix it makes a nice orange.

Un masked the metal then overall weathered and blended with the air brush.

Finished out the exhaust ports canisters and spheres.

At this point I'm waiting for a buncha UV LEDs from ebay to install the lighting and assemble it.

Side note:
Last night I asked my wife "what I should make", She said to "make something cute"..So I made this last night... might have missed the mark a little..well, I think it's pretty cute. lol

Thanks for looking and commenting folks!

Thank you Broette. I sure hope he loves it. With what he said he wants to do with it after he gets a buncha pictures, It really needs to be super deluxe awesome..

How about this itty bitty Cloaked Cannon. I just pulled it out of the mold. next time I'll use less white florescent tint.. or maybe no tint at all just UV additive...

Oohh that looks awesome! Man, a UV tiny cannon would be so cool! It looks really smooth, great job!

Update!

I revisited the upper canisters and cast a set out of smoothcast 325 with Ignite Blue Florescent additive. They came out semi translucent and light up like crazy when UV light hits them. The UV LEDs should be here tomorrow and I'll finish up the cannon then all thats left is lights and quills.

Anywhosit..Here's some pics..

Testing the canisters.. looks cool to me!

Thanks for looking!

This design is so original and unique. I can't seem to stop looking at the little details of it and picturing it on a suit with an armor of the same type of "look".

Very interesting.

Painted up another mini cannon. This one's resin (Smoothcast 325) was treated with just the UV additive...

Here it is, done and done. Ready to ship.

I just ran a ran a simple curve in photoshop to correct the color. The colors are pretty true in the pic to what is seen with the eye.

Enjoy the pics. If you want me to post more pics, then I will.

Thanks for watching.

Picture 7 is the smoking corner is it bud? (laughing) it looks great its a cool cannon you did well on it you had the figure yet from the contest?

 

[SMOKE]

Thanks bud! I worked my ass off to make this cannon better than the first. I haven't received the figure yet but Art has informed me that the ball is rolling. I hope his new little bio fits.
