Most who know me know I'm a huge Weta fan (I'm a Kiwi so it's like a national requirement). Especially anything designed by Greg Broadmore which of course includes his brainchild - Dr. Grordbort. I also happen to have a thing for steampunk, so you can see why these guns do it for me. Lol.
Managed to pick up a Manmelter while in NZ a couple years ago. Then last year found a guy in Canada selling 3 of the Grordbort guns which I purchased knowing we were heading this way. So I now have the Galiathon, the FMOM and 2 of the Manmelters.
Rather than selling the second Manmelter I decided to custom paint one of them as Weta had themselves customised a few Manmelters...
If you've browsed my collection you'll see I'm a big Air Force fan and also collect stuff from WWII

So a WWII airplane paint job is definitely on the cards! The question will be, what colours go where and what insignias to use
While I muse over these questions, I figured the best thing I could do was take the leap and prime the thing! That way there was no turning back right?
I mean lets be honest, this is an expensive, limited edition, rare prop, so to go and paint over the amazing metal finish would just be nuts! I'm having second thoughts...
Too late! :wacko
