Congrats on your new army, Shawn. They look awesome!
I'll bet they are anxious to march on out the door...

I just received my overthruster, and it is magnificent! The attention to detail is unbelievable - not a flaw on it. Your work, Shawn, leaves me stunned. Thank you for doing this for us!
Thank you, Rex and Cameron. I just received my order of ULINE boxes and new clear cast pins will be arriving Thursday so all outstanding orders will be shipped then. I apologize for the appearance of the "frankensteined" boxes I had to make for the first few orders. They looked horrible. lol

I have my overthruster sitting predominantly on my kitchen counter and pick it up often. It just feels so cool. I have never painted a resin casting - am thinking of picking up an airbrush. Anyone know the right colors? I am designing active buttons to replace the cast pins. Would you guys be interested in seeing them if I can pull it off? I plan on cutting the washer away from the casting and machining a brass washer and button with opposing rare earth magnets to give it a push button action.
I just love this thing.

I'd be interested in seeing that. And buying it as an upgrade kit from you!
I will see if I can get Tim (D48thRonin) to chime in here and share how he painted mine up. I think it's fantastic.
Oh dear god...
I'm not even sure that I remember what I used for mine - and I did mine monochromatic like the original prop - so it's vitrtually impossible for me to recall how I did yours, Shawn. Because IIRC, you requested several different shades of silver to set off some of the various parts, yes?
I'm pretty sure that I used Testor's Model Master Buffing Metalizer (run through an airbrush). No idea which color - could have been stainless steel, could have been magnesium... I simply cannot remember. The pins and washers were Testor's brass (NON-buffing metalizer). I think the detail bits in the "greeblie window" were probably Tamiya silver or aluminum. I'm also pretty sure that I *did* use Testor's clearcoat for metalizer - generally clearcoats will kill the look of metallic paints, but since I knew that the piece would be handled I went ahead and used it, and it seemed to work out OK.
Sorry that I can't be of more help than that :unsure

Actually, that really helps knowing its Testor's. I can get close - thank you D48thRonin. The brass rods for the buttons arrived today and I expect the reamers to arrive tomorrow, so into the shop I go this weekend to see if I can crank out some active buttons.
