Re: Denix / ROTJ Blaster Assembly Info
BWHAHAHAH
pretty much, but I'm running low, so a typical roll of TP works when I'm out of Denixes:

So yeah definitely you have to put some AL black on the bare metal... and I would degrease the denix completely. Then just a thin coat of flat or satin enamel. I did mine with everything on except the flash hider. Then used steel wool to rub exposed parts as they would naturally come into contact with things.
I usually bake my painted projects to cure them faster, but with the ROTJ blaster, I hung it up in direct sunlight for a few hours... that cooked the paint nicely and cured it fast.
There are too many variations on the ROTJ... the left side milling is different on them all, so just pick one or your favorite mix up of details and make your own. That's what I did.
I was thinking about it with my holster, and pretty sure the Stembridge or Live fire ROTJ has no right side piston for a couple of reasons. Probably to preserve feeding blank rounds, and also that it would get knocked off easily putting it in a holster. Other shots of the MGC hero version(s), I would imagine were placed in Harrison's hand most of the time.
I need to pay more attention but I bet a resin one was in-holster for most of the shots.
