New alternative for Solo Blaster

[lomis]

Mine from Shapeways.

Is this painted or the "Black Premium Versatile Plastic"?
Anyone have any experience with the latter?

IMHO, you can get it looking pretty decent without a complete refinish, which is really more effort than it's worth on this particular platform. Unless you're going to remove the selector switch and do some of the other accuracy mods. I did refinish the flash hider with aluminum black, then weathered it, but just did some light weathering on the rest of the gun with 800-1500 grit sandpaper and 0000 steel wool. Also used some brass black on the brass parts, and added a 3D printed ANH grille and mystery disc.

Makeup pads work pretty good for applying the aluminum black, and you can get them pretty much anywhere.

Outstanding work!

Where did you putchase your 3d printed mystery disk and grille? And how did you finish out the mystery disk to make it look metallic and then how did you go about permanently attaching it to the blaster?

Any help would be appreciated!
