Done:
Another BR built. As most of you, I really like the results the prop builders have created back then. The real one is a work of art.
I've picked up a kit from the Italian guys, which is cool for me in case of saving import fees and avoiding problems. Soo, the kit came in two separate boxes. These guys were very nice, I had an issue with one part, but they've sent me an exchange for free.
First on the list was to deflash the parts with a file and some drilling on the replaced part. After that I've tried the first time to blue the gunparts with aluminium black from Birchwood. The results can be seen below. I think they aren't perfect, but they look more realistic now.
Today I'm coating the rest of the parts in black and do some aging before assembling the 'blaster'.
If somebody wants to try the Birchwood aluminium blackening, pm me. I have 1/2 bottle with no more need for it.
