I took 600 grit wet sandpaper and removed the top finish off the wood grips as to prep the surface. I then coated the entire grip with black acrylic paint. A few seconds later I wiped off the paint.

These blasters look great! I love hearing about everyone's tricks and techniques.

Just wanna check - have any of you guys who were waiting on only the resin side greebles received them yet? I can't remember if they've been shipped out or not. Not sure if I've missed a parcel or not.

I received mine but they came with the rest of my order 2 weeks ago

My go-to "carbon scoring" compound is called William's Stove Polish. Amazon has it for sale. Great product. It really grimes up my props nicely.

I actually use a powder in a bag. I dip in a small sponge paint brush and brush and rub it on. I either bought it off amazon or eBay. I usually do it over a piece of newspaper so I can collect the powder that falls and put it back in the bag.

Man, those are some nice blasters being finished. Can't wait for my shipping invoice to finally show up. But it does give me time to peruse how others are handling theirs.

Did you reply to my September 20th email?

If not that would be why you have not received a shipping notice yet.

As I redo my Bespin build, I'm kinda leaning this way too. If only just to increase the difference in the variances(sp?) between them both. I liked it when it had all the (at the time), prescribed greeblies, an amalgamation really, but I'm not sure if I'll put them on and instead, go with a "live fire version"/Bespin and the Hoth version.

I had the metal parts shipped a while ago, just waiting on the resin parts. Not sure if I have missed a communication or if the time for those being shipped hasn't arrived yet. If the invoice and payment was separate for these then I'm also not sure if I've paid. Cheers.

If you need resin greeblies send me an email with a list and I'll get them to you.

i tried working on mine today with a busted right hand.. after 10 minutes of fighting and destroying the pin that holds the hammer in i got frustrated and quit... anyone have any idea where i can find a matching gauge pin?

i can cut it myself, im in so much pain i dont feel like driving to the hardware store to check. i dont recall ever seeing pins there... i have seen roll pins there, but pins like the denix i cant ever say I've seen

any advice is greatly appreciated

 

[Hostamon]

I am planning on drilling and tapping all the pin holes on my Denixes and replace them with grub screws. I fill the screw heads with stove black. I had very good success with my Greedo Killer using a Denix base.

You can use a small nail (like a wire brad). Bang it in and grind the ends off.

Ace and Lowe's also carry various diameter steel rods. Maybe they have one the correct thickness...

Ace tends to have a better selection of those little items.

Again, Ace is the place!!
