District 9 Arc Generator Re-Paint -- Pix

[zorg]

Hi, i had to stop myself doing any more painting today otherwise it would be overdone, i added some l.e.d.s to either side to spice it up a little.
paint scheme is just to my own tastes not any particular gun from the movie.
i replicated some alien signage using rub down letraset sheets. (i just made them up)



comments and suggestions welcome

thanks for looking

Damn! That looks so good. Wish the production paintjob and weathering looked like that :cry

Great job Zorg! Did you paint the whole gun or just parts of it?

Brilliant job Zorg, looking good.

Are the LED's functional??

You know i was almost tempted to weather my own, but i've decided i'm not going to, because i would try and get close to what you have achieved, but not manage it, and make a complete pig's ear of it in the process!!!!

Another thought i also had was to etch my name in the D9 font somewhere on the gun itself, either by decal or by hand. I managed to get the D9 font which is really cool, and think it would be a neat touch as your name would be on it, but completely hidden behind the symbols of the font. Just a thought though!!!

thanks, there are 6 leds in total, 2 big red either side an 2 small white ones below each red, they are non functional unfortunately

i think i will be adding to the paint work shortly, i can't help myself!

Ohhhhhhh, does that look nice. Not everybody's idea of decor but it sure is MINE!

 

[Garthok]

That does look good. I like the way you have the displays in the cabinet too. I have the Sonny head, and tried to light it up but can't get the screws out of the back, have you thought about it or tried?

That wall is so empty and your AG looks so lonely. I demand you buy more D-9 guns and weather them too to hang up with the AG. lol:lol
