CONSTANTINE: Holy Shotgun: Revisited

[Funky]

Where the hell did the original Holy Shotgun thread go? Mods, please merge if need be. I just wanted to show my version of the licensened version. Man, this was a pain in the ass. MUCH weathering went into this...

 

[Rebel Hunter]

That looks great. Did you go with the rub n buff treatment? What did you use for the weathering?

 

[TimDrakeRobin]

awesome job man
These are fun as hell to re-paint arent they?
heres mine.

And mine:

You woulnd't happen to have any better pictures would you? I'd like to see how shiny yours is

 

[RelicMaker]

Does the shell drum come off? Or is it just one big solid piece?

 

[TimDrakeRobin]

not sure about the others, but mine is one solid piece. I will have another one here on monday that i will attempt to modify into having removable parts such as the drum and the flash light.
Attempt being the Key word here.

I just got mine in the post, got it from a great Ebay seller who chopped off the base for me and just sent the gun. Saved a fortune on shipping - total cost £54($95)..
Just some fingers and bits of wire to remove, then its repaint time.

Funky,
Did you remove all the old paint first or just weather the current finish?

 

[jimmydellamorte]

I wonder if any of you shotgun replica owners would be able to make a resin kit of this prop... That would be sweet. I'd love to get my hands on a resin cast that I could totally modify from the ground up.

 

[Rusty85]

I always wanted to have one Vac-metalized. Not sure if you'd lose some of the scroll work though.

 

[Falco]

You prolly would, but that wouldnt be too difficult to put back on yourself afterwards. Plus, with all the money you'd save, it'd be worth the effort.

I am fairly new to this forum and i have looked around at the holy shotgun threads and post.I would lke to give my holy shotgun a brass aged look with the drum aged too.What is the best method to repaint and age it?
I am going to this steampunk event near me as a steampunk John Constantine.

 

[autoprops713]

I guess without taking it completely apart I would just spray it with black automotive primer and then just rub-and-buff a brass finish over that. If you do it carefully enough you should be able to highlight the engraved lettering detail. Maybe buff the drum a steel color for contrast? A nice dark Constantine shotgun could look interesting.

I'd love to see pics when you're done. :thumbsup

[Darkhunter]

Cool i will post pics when its finished.

 

[jimmydellamorte]

Anyone selling a shotgun replica and or any other Constantine merch??

 

[jimmydellamorte]

Guess a resin kit isn't a possibility... Meeeeeeeerg

 

[Retroman85]

One i did a before and after.It took a lot to give a more realistic look.
