blade runner blaster ish.....

[Ramrod04]

hi guys this is my first prop from start to finish. I watched a youtube vid of bill doran (punished props) making his version of a blade runner blaster and wanted one so i brought his 3d print files and got going like i said im new to this so im looking for feed back and criticism good and bad any techniques you guys know and use so here goes .....
.

so i have a creality cr10 and i printed all the parts off now its time for the sanding a lot of sanding every thing got rubbed down with 120 grit sand paper followed by 180 grit and finally 320 ready for priming i gave every thing a coat of adhesion promoter and 2 light coats of an automotive 2k filler primer

after every thing had been primed it got wet sanded with 800 wet n dry and painted gloss black or matt black ready for the netxt step

witch was to paint the gloss black parts in alclad 2 stainless steel
l

now for the grips i made a silicone mold of the 3d printed grips and cast them out of plane old polyester resin
so here is the problem i run in to polyester resin shrinks when cured buy about 5-7% it turns out. So i re printed re sanded re primed and re carst a 2nd set 8% bigger to allow for shrinkage

if u look close you can see the ones in the middle are a bit larger than the ones on the out side buy about 7% they got a good sanding with 320 and wet 800 and i give them 2 coats of 2k clear lacquer

all the sanding and painting done time to move on to put it together punished props has a wicked youtube video on this.

so here she is all painted and assembled now for a bit of weathering i just went with some bacis oil paint washes lamp black burnt sienna and yellow ochre

ok guys thank you for reading this if you have any feed back or would like any more in depth detail on anything i did let me know
thanks ram

This looks great, I am actually just starting the work on this blaster and have plans to do the same thing with the grips.

I have never made a mold but have been looking at smooth on rebound 25 but perhaps a different product would work. Do you have any recommendations?

As a side note I had planned to use Art Resin, which apparently doesn’t shrink so I thought I would mention that.

Did you find Bill’a files easy to work with? I was going to use Andrew Forester’s files as a base and then try to modify a few files that I didn’t think looked quite right.

Hi i had never made a silicon mold befor eather i did try art resin first but air bubbles was a bit of a pain. And I used silicone from mbfiberglass uk the product code is GP3481 its an rtv silicone and easy to use
Bills 3d print files are spot on i can folt them and it is not to much bother to get all the parts working

Thanks ram
