millenium1 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 very good work, makes me want to start weathering mine, I am holding off to I get boots and stuff for my new helmet but now I am tempted big time, I love seeing people's hard work paying off Thank you so much for your kind words Dan My weathering took quite a while to complete as i did many light passes to try to get an organic natural look, with me the weathering was a feel thing so i only worked on it when i was really in the mood. There is nothing to stop you starting it Brother as you can put it down and go back to it whenever you choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millenium1 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 My Blaster is almost done, just need to attatch the scope rail, scope which is a Modified M38 A2 and the Hengstler. A little bit of weathering and the painting of the letters still to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millenium1 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 This is the Blaster primed with several layers of paint added, the scope and Hengstler on this Blaster are resin and are to be replaced with the ones above. I have also removed the wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millenium1 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Fixed the scope and counter in place and weathered the Blaster. Thank you for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghoulcinder@hotmail.co.uk Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 That's a totally awesome looking blaster! I really love the details and your weathering, excellent job!Did you us a metallic undercoat, or did you dry-brush (or whatever method) after your sprayed it black?

millenium1 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hi Bas, thanks for the kind words Brother I used wire wool on the scope as that is brass. the rest was done using the dry brush method. I found sitting in a really well lit room allowed me to see how the minimal amount of paint made the surface look like wear and tear, i overdid it on a few occasions where it just looked like paint. Luckily it just wiped off with a damp cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a great fan of dry brushing, personally I used a very bright daylight lamp when dry brushing, gives you a perfect view on what you're doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millenium1 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Thanks again Bas, I'm just fitting the electrics into my bucket at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millenium1 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 The electrics are all but done in my bucket, Skyminers EAS and the ROM/FX in place with just Echo's fans to install. This will never win any engineering awards but everything works great and the helmet fits snug and is very comfortable, it also transfers to my other buckets. The EAS is fantastic, i can hear everything outside of the helmet with amazing clarity The wires go nicely through my neckseal and connect to the circuit boards which are housed in project boxes fixed to my chest plate. Thank you as always for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
