Cheap PKD (Water Gun)

Experiment with a small area first. The steyr reciever looks more convincing with subtle mottled look anyway. I put little dings and scratches in mine as well to break up the texture. The rub and buff looks good initially but just wore off after handling.
Yeah, I usually test on a bit of plastic first whenever I'm painting or weathering [emoji106]

Added a tad of rust and grime. Hard to see in the photo, but it's subtle enough to be believable [emoji106]
Think I'm happy with it now, but I'll probably still do some tinkering :)

This might be my favorite repaint thus far. VERY nice work on it!!!!!
 
Small update on my redux. Like a slug, I've been working in mind very slowly.

i was able to get some no functioning LEDs in

Need to do some clean up, but they're in there :thumbsup

Ill be more motivated to work on it once the new grips arrive.
 
This thread is amazing! Very inspiring. I'm obsessed. Here is my first attempt, you can see where the end of the barrel is screwed up, I learned the hard way that a hot glue gun will melt the plastic, I attempted to fill in the warp with loctite putty but my inexperience in sanding shows through... I've got another water gun on the way. Wife has no idea that I'm paying $46 for a squirt gun :)20171102_011952.jpg
 
All of these have come out brilliantly! Here's my first ever attempt at a replica prop. I only managed to get the blue handled pistol, so tried to make it work in my favour as a futuristic plastic type deal! If anyone has any advice as to how to improve it I'd be really grateful!

Looks pretty damn good to me kri5! I never liked the look of the blue handle before, but you really pulled it off!
I also like your scratches on the black glossy led area, is that rubn buff or another technique?
