Sculpting work was done using cast-off pieces from a doubleshot shell, kneaditite epoxy, and plumber's putty. I am really happy with how the verdigris paint effect turned out.
Check pages 135-136 of the paintjob/mod picture forum for more of my work. Thanks in advance for any feedback, praise, or spirit-crushing mockery.

Something I really like about your work is that every piece has a very different feel to it and you can tell a lot of planning went into each one.

I really enjoy looking at these cosmetic mods, because everyone will end up seeing something different out of every gun. The light on the Firefly? Amazing.

@ Tantum, Herpestidae, and Splitlip, thank you very much for the kind words. I've been visiting this site for a few months, borrowing from the amazing ideas and innovations here, so I'm standing on the shoulders of geniuses. I'm just some dude who likes spending a lot of time making things with little practical value.

When I first opened this post I thought, "Wow, look at that turtle shell and detail."
Then I brought my face closer to the screen and actually said the following out loud, "Is that a fucking turtle head!"
Almost reminded me of the first boss in Super Contra!
Good work.
I was just checking out some of your work on the mod/PJ thread. You have some serious skill.
Keep it up.

Just out of curiosity, what sort of paint do you use? I reckon that the green effects were done by hand, but do you do everything by hand or just certain effects?

I hope you do know that putting reptilian body parts onto a gun is against the rules?
Joking aside, that is some grade A painting and sculpting. I better warn saldin of the new competition.
Very nice!

This blaster took about ten hours altogether to make (not including time spent drying and looking at the NerfHaven tutorials). A lot of that time was spent kinda staring at it, trying to figure out what should go where, and puzzling over how to assemble it with all the additions. The paint I used was Plasti-Kote for the metallics and very cheap generic acrylic paint for the other colors. The verdigris was accomplished using several washes of green, greenish-blue, and turquoise (a wash is a heavily diluted, very watery layer of paint that settles in the recesses of what you're painting). The Plasti-Kote is great, because it is very durable and adheres beautifully to plastics, but I had some problems with it melting my first layer of spray primer. The whole deal is sealed with three layers of a satin spray whose brand name escapes me.
I paint everything by hand. Someone who is more skilled than I could probably do it with an airbrush, but I am a lot more comfortable with the old-fashioned style, having come from a background of miniature painting.
Thank you all so much for your feedback and support. It's very inspirational.

Again, awesome work, and I do look forward to seeing more from your neck of the woods.

Warhammer (40k)? I used to do that (40k), but I sucked, so don't expect any awesome paint jobs by me.

If you see me in the trading forum, I am most likely posting for friends. They are very into trading/buying/selling guns. Me, not so much.

Aside from that, it's fucking awesome.
Probably dead by now, or something.
