sir david Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 i wanted to achieve the worn,grubby, antique look to both blasters,and get the finish as near to worn metal as i could , i also wanted the lighting to affect the look of the guns (ie; in low light they look almost Black,then,when the light hits them,the Metallics seem to come alive,and both guns appear lighter,and have the metallic sheen to them .... Panda Trooper is a talented guy,to percieve this when he did his T-21 Tutorial,back then ! ....awesome inspiration Terry !) ..... on the stock, i wanted to get the old,grubby bakelite look too i achieved that by using # 160 -German Camouflage Red/Brown ,airbrushed onto the stock,clear coated it,then many layers of #33 - Matt Black, then clear coat to seal.... the metallics i used for both guns are ........... #11 -silver, #53 - gunmetal ,and #56 - aluminium for the scope lense housing on the E-11 ,i used #171 - Antique Bronze, #56 -Aluminium, and # 11- Silver (ALL HUMBROL PAINTS HERE apart from the clear coat ) the clear coat is an enamel aerosol laquer ,from my local hardware store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir david Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 thanx bro .... i have seen some awesome troopers(and not just sandies either!) with awesome costumes and armour weathering at various events in the past ,but unfortunately,with blasters,that just seem lack any realism,or impact ! (flat black,and lifeless) compared to their amazing armour and weathering ! i really hope these pics inspire people to go " the extra mile " with their blasters -to do more than "just the dated flat black,with a few silver chips here and there " look ,that hides all the detailing and sheer beauty of a doopeys DLT !!!!,.... an awesome costume looks even more awesome with an awesome blaster ! if you have an awesome blaster like a doopeys DLT,,then bring it to life ,and do it justice i say ! ......... i dont claim personal credit here guys ,i just saw an awesome T-21 2 years ago,and it blew my mind !- the inspiration for my work from that momet is PANDATROOPER ! i have always used his method since ! ....,and ,also, Ruggero, P3LATON3 inspired me with the greeblie template he created .... if these pics help ,and inspire other guys -like Terry ,and Ruggero inspired me ,then ,i am a happy man amigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smally Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 As I said on facebook; Ive always worked with real firearms, either in the Army or, like now, in the Police firearms unit, and Dave has certain early captured the genuine look on these blasters. I won't do a full de-brief here as I plan to make a complete thread showcasing my all new complete Anthony Forrest Replica build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir david Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 i did this work on the 2 resin Doopey Doos blasters for Smally for no charge/ Personal reward !..... i asked Ruggero if i could use his templates to build the greeblies too ,no profiteering,or stealing here by me guys ! ,just the love of helping others out ! ,to help them achieve the 76' look ,as best as i can get it !

inglorious trooper Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 amazzzing dave,amazzzing dude!! one thing can i ask,the add ons on the right hand side of the DLT-19 where the metal bends over! i ve seen 2 different places where its placed.one being how youve done it and the other where you drill a hole in the top and place it over the already existing bolt(?) that is casted on the gun,it looks like you added an extra bolt type piece behind it! does it matter which way round its done? does that make any sense???lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir david Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 i have asked ruggeros permission to replicate his greeblies,and added them to smallys gun to honour ruggero....i would have hollowed out the chamber,added the inner details,then added the greeblies over the top .....this part of the doopeys has no detail apart from a scored line each side of the drum chambers....ruggero's looked cool,so i was inspired and copied it with his permission ! .......AND,ALL THE METAL IS ACTUALLY PLASTIC BRO ! .......you need to come to my house soon Marcus ! ;0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
