Ok!
Used my dad's dremel and had at it
The names are all off
Although as it was my first time using a dremel there's a wee bit, erm, "unintentional battle damage"




A wee bit battle damage....




As always, if you want full-sized pics, here ya go : http://coreyfeldmanistheshit.tumblr.com/post/11472943736/names-off-prepped-for-paint-sorted-albeit

Sorted
Now I need advice
What sorta paint should I use?
Not too fussed on brand, more type i.e. enamel, acrylic, satin
Cheers guys!

Give it a light sanding all over then a few light coat's of primer or use a self etching primer. The whatever paint ye want ! Just remember to use light coat's and 15mins between coat's.

Placed the blades on it with blutack
Looking not bad if I say so myself!

[Remo Jadd]

I think you'll need something stronger than Blu-tac

Aww really?
I was just gonna leave them blu-tac'd on XD

[Remo Jadd]

LOL, Seriously tho' how are you going to attach them, or do you intend them to be removable?.

Gonna drill them and either use rivets with glue on them, and leave it like that, or I have spikes I can put over the heads of the rivets to make it look more bludgeon-y

[ConDar Ward]

That's going to be a Sweet Blaster when your Done .

You've got the Vision Vod ...... Just remember to edit your Weapon , before you do your
final assembly .  It makes life a lot easier if you ever plan to upgrade it in the future .

 Keep up the Great Work ......  8)

[Remo Jadd]

Careful with the spike idea. you don't want to accidently wave your gun around and catch a kid with them.  

[Kad-Rebo]

No worries Remo!
I'll probably end up going for just the rivets

How do you mean to edit my weapon vod?
But thanks for the compliments!

Lightly assemble it , then Check for Fit and Function . Then Edit .

Are there any parts that might get caught on stuff ?
Corners , sharp edges(Other than obviously the blades) etc. (Sand or Remove)

Slings or Holsters .

If your Weapon is going to have a Sling ....Where will it be ?
on top or Bottom ?   Reinforce this Area. 
You could insert  "Eye Screws" in these areas into a piece of wood Hidden inside your Weapon.

If it's a pistol , Will it fit in & Draw Cleanly from a Holster with all the Greeblies in place ?
If Not , EDIT .

Will your Weapon be able to Break down ? (Disassemble)  Add set screws in these areas .
Then if You Decide to Travel with it , it will pack up nicely in a Smaller box .
i.e.  Removable :  Stock , Barrel , blades , etc.


That's all .....  8)

That is going to be one mean looking Blaster when your finished mate ;d Love it

You just need to look at you kit with an Editing Eye ......

Make it as Versatile as you can .  Then your set up for easy up grades later.

I made a Blaster out of a Sweet base pistol once ...... Then I modded the Sheebs out of it .
It looked fine , but was not fun to carry all the Time .  I tried to make a Holster for it , and Failed.
I tried to make a Sling for it , but the Screws kept coming out. (thin plastic) I tried to Disassemble it to
Reinforce these areas and Destroyed it in the Process ....... I wish I had it to do all over again .
With what I know now about Costuming and Prop building it would be so obvious where to start.
But I was very Shinny when I made it so ...... live and learn.  Not to mention I destroyed it in a fit of Rage.
Also destroying several Cool Greeblies and some "now hard to get electronics" in the process.


I'm just trying to help you not make the Mistakes I made .
