Brian's Blade Runner Builds

How stable is the graphite effect on this? Does it rub off with handling?

It's pretty stable. The effect will wear off a little if you handle it a lot, but if you are making the piece for display purposes it works fine.

No problem. The resin I used was Clear Cast by Amazing Casting Products. And for the colouring I used Ranger Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Ink, Caramel.

Was there enough in the small 16oz set to make the pair?

Yes, more than enough. You would probably get at least 2 pairs, maybe 3 from the 16oz kit.

This damn thing is like the stone soup fable. You start with something relatively cheap and by the time you spent money and time tarting it up you may as well have bought a proper kit! > sigh!<

Yes, but the transfos are all the fun!! Beautiful work mate

I've been busy with other things recently but I finally managed to get my solid resin grips fitted. I thought I might have to glue the grips, in addition to screwing them in place, but it turns out that they screwed in nice and securely on their own as they should. I still have work to do on the blaster in general but I’m happy that the grips worked out as planned.

Yes it's the water gun. (my third attempt) I've posted progress pics further back in the thread.

I love the looks of your build. Those grips look fantastic. How hard was it to get the color you wanted with the resin? Never done casting before, and did not know if the color changed during curing?

It was just a bit of guesswork, really. I looked online for alcohol ink, and this Caramel colour looked closest to the amber grips, so I went with that. The colour didn't seem to change during or after curing.

A couple of final pics of my water blaster mod, and that's me done. Time to move on to a new project.

Thanks. It was put together using these two screenshots from the film, and a fair bit of Photoshopping.

Candykiller wondered if you could help me, I’m trying to replace most of the screws on the water gun with real hardware, could you help me with the ones you found and used?

I bought a box of assorted Hex Bolts/Screws from Amazon. It worked out pretty inexpensive this way, and I’m sure these parts will come in useful for other future projects.
