MY DRY BRUSHED WEATHERING JOB ON BOYDEY'S SCRATCH BUILT MG-15


Recommended Posts

hey guys ! hope you are all well :)

i have recently been given the job of weathering Boydeys scratch built MG-15 for him .i have used the same Humbrol Enamel metallics and black paints that iv'e used on all the blasters iv'e weathered from day 1 ...this was a first for me, doing an MG-15,as all i have previously worked on were E-11's,DLT-19's and T-21's ,so this was a real pleasure to do this project for Boydey ! :)

Iwanted to get an old "pitted metal " look to this gun,and also add a few bits of rust here and there too!

here are some pics guys :)

thats pretty much it guys ! the first MG-15 i have weathered,and a very rewarding,and pleasant experience for me too! :) Boydey just needs to fit the braided hose,drum mag strap and grip greeblies now to complete :)... just finished in time for my next weathering projects...... 2 T-21's are currently on their way to the UK from the U.S for Craig and Niel ,and i'll be doing the same weathering technique on them too ! ...i love this kind of project !:)

Absolutely stunning Dave. Boydie's build was superb to start with(I really need to read up on his build thread and make myself one of these bad boys!), but you have added sweet icing to an already tasty cake. Can't wait for me and Neil to get our T-21's posted up to you and see what magic you perform on them :-)

You the man Dave!! :-)
