Finished my Blade Runner Blaster

[andychristofi]

First post! I found this forum while looking for tips on completing my resin Anders Blade Runner Blaster from Tiptop Workshop.
Finally finished after working on it a few hours a week. Rather than replicating the look from either of the films, I actually referenced Adam Savages build as I preferred the colour differences between the metal parts.

-Vallejo steel for the dark metal
-Molotov Chrome for the light metal, this dulled after being handled so I shined it up with charcoal powder.
-Tamiya black gloss spray and the satin and gloss varnish sprays.
-Dlyfull fishing lights for the green LEDs

Thanks very much! Spent a lot of time on the top part to try and give it some texture.

Love it to bits and glad you've chosen the right slotted screw, like the original in the movie

That is really stunning work! That is some of the most realistic weathering I've ever seen on any replica before. The fact it's all done with paint is incredibly impressive!

Thanks very much! I swapped the screw from the weaver scope knob right before these photos.

excellent work ! i started to test fit mine before finishing painting and had problems getting the screws to bite in , did you use glue ? i kind of gave up , i think i used the wrong type of resin when i printed to get the screws to thread in . i might trying buying the kit instead of printing and starting over

Thanks very much! No glue used but I did over tap one hole that I filled in with super glue and bicarb and re taped. My kit was from Tip Top Workshop and I was very happy with the quality of the print. I would finish your print as a test run so the next one will be even better.

I would definitely make one of those if I had a 3d printer. If only someone made a kit.
