Resident Evil Gelblasters...( or, Gotta Getta Beretta..!)

Maybe the TS 83 might do the trick. Metallic silver :person_shrugging:

I usually have a look at the Tamiya chart Tamiya Color Spray

To get close to what I’d like. Then source it. Lots of options. Few there that must be close.

I’ve thought about getting this one and breaking out the airbrush kit…

But I’m just not into my movie props that much… I’d rather spend $30 on new strings or an Oak Grigsby switch these days. :rofl:

Too late… you got one…!!

i grabbed it for you, with the SG9…!!

I remember you talking about it before…

you’ll get it when i get back from singers…!!

Get that sandpaper ready…!!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

(Also… i just got a $40 ironing board from bunnings, for $20… out of stock of the cheapy’s in store when they said they had it online…so, the kit is just about paid for…!!)

What’s the ironing board for dare I ask :joy:

Don’t tell me you want FriendlyFire to iron your clothes too :rofl: :rofl: :v:

why not.?.?
2 for 1 deal…!!

old ironing board is disintegrating, in a pile of crumbling foam lining…!

Very quick start, on the SG09…

sanding / priming… first coat…first pics…

Just the slide and receiver.

Upper slide is the (expensive) Ts-83 metallic silver.
That gave a good finish…but you can see tiny speckles in the paint.

I put Ts-79 semigloss clear on top…

that dampens the silver down, just a touch…but gets it popping.
Blends the speckles in, flattens the colour, and gets it looking a bit more realistic looking…

as opposed to just shiny new metalic paint.

Lower frame…Dymark flat black. Semigloss to come when dry…

That is one of the more expensive paints. Must have real silver in it or something :joy:

More expensive was renewing my drivers licence and other bills, ouch.

As long as you are happy with it, looks good to me :+1:

its pretty hard, to get plastic to look like metal…

but, this is getting there.

The SG9, has a “lighter , whiter” metal slide…so this fits that category.

I got a can of ts-76 mica silver…more of a grey-ish metal finish.

i’m gonna have to start keeping a paint diary…!!

“what did i do, on that model, to get that effect.?.?”

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Its cool how these kits go together…

fun little kits, for $50…

good way to get models, of weapons used in games/ movies…

Now we have " limited stock" expectations for gel…

The person who designs these is pretty clever… no glue reqd…all friction fit.

Wow… Ok…

i think we’ll see an airsoft version of the requiem, eventually…

All moving part version…very cool…!!

Colour me impressed. That is pretty cool.
