sir david Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 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 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smally Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Amazing as always Dave. I'm gonna have to come round to see this in person before it goes back to Boydey! I've always fancied having an MG15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantina Craig Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 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!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
