WOW! What's your painting technique for that?! That looks unbelievable.
Cheap PKD (Water Gun)

Yeah lots of good paint schemes here. May have to give the soft iron a try. It has a nice sheen is that the paint itself or a clear coat?
Thanks!
The gun came already pre-painted in glossy black. I took off the grips and masked all parts that needed to stay black (including underneath the grips, otherwise they'd become too light orange).
I then used Humbrol Metalcote steel and polished Aluminium spray (it's amazing!) and after a few minutes of drying, I buffed it up with a silver-cloth. It looked really shiny. Then I used dry brushing to make it dirty with tan and black oil paint and speckle it with tan to fake the rust. It was done very quickly. Masking took most of the time.

Just in case some of you missed the announcement over in the Off topic section, Robiwon passed away last night.
Very sad news for the RPF.
Terribly sad news. As I said on his build thread when I joined the RPF a short time ago he was one of people I was always happy to see a post from, not just because his work was inspirational but because he was a really nice guy. So very sorry for his loss and much sympathy to all his friends and family.

Great job!
If you don't mind my asking, what are the two Star Wars pieces behind your blaster?

Quick update. Got the inactive LEDs and wire added, did some weathering and detail paint, next is masking off for the final silver section around the triggers and grip.
I kinda feel like this could be Gaff’s blaster. The pearl grips are just a little dash of fancy, and it has enough slight modifications to make it special.

These are two pictures I picked up at a convention earlier this year: one with Alden Ehrenreich as Solo and the other one is an image of the TFA trooper helmet (which I modeled in 2015 for Derrek from http://www.phoenixprops.net/)

Any one used rub n buff on these to simulate a metal finish in certain areas? The graphite powder thing is ok but a shade too dark for the finish I'm trying to achieve.

How did you get the pearly effect on the grips?
Just do it in layers if you want to do embeddings. Pretty simple stuff.

Yeah, they have "Made in China" stamped on them.

to the best of my knowledge of searching these on Ebay on a daily basis and doing bing/google searches a few times a week.
There is no fakes at the moment.
And since these were made in China, and have been sold out quickly. Maybe there could be knock offs, but who knows
