Instructions

Supplies Needed:

Sandpaper (light grit)

Glue (we suggest CA+ glue, but any type of resin adhesive, or super glue will work)

Primer

Flat Black Spray Paint

Flat Black Paint

Gloss Black Paint

Gloss White Paint

Gloss Red Paint

Gloss Green Paint

Silver Blue, or Dark Gray Spray Paint

Silver or Aluminum Paint

Matte Clear Coat Paint

 

	Here's what you get with the kit. The Main Body, Camera, Disk Arm, and Mylar Disk. Wash all resin parts in warm, soapy water and let air dry.
	Lightly sand all resin parts and clean up the seam lines. If there are any air bubbles or imperfections on the kit, fill with Model Putty and when dry, sand smooth. Be sure to sand the kit in a well ventilated area as resin dust may be harmful.
	Prime all parts. Be sure to paint ONLY in a well ventilated area. Allow paint to thoroughly dry.
	Paint all parts flat black. Be sure to paint ONLY in a well ventilated area. Allow paint to thoroughly dry. After it's dried, spray it with Matte Clear Coat. Be sure to paint ONLY in a well ventilated area. Allow paint to thoroughly dry.
	Using painter's tape, mask the lower body of the gun off.
	Paint all parts with Silver Blue, or Dark Gray paint. When checking out the film, you will see that in the close-up shots, the gun appears to be Silver Blue, while in the wide shots, it appears to be Dark Gray. This could be due to different paint jobs on the hero gun as opposed to the stunt one, or due to different lighting conditions making the gun appear to be different colors. So decide which way you want the final prop to look. I decided to go with Silver Blue and used "Model Master" Silver Blue paint #2901. Be sure to paint ONLY in a well ventilated area. Allow paint to thoroughly dry.
	Spray kit with Matte Clear Coat. Be sure to paint ONLY in a well ventilated area. Allow paint to thoroughly dry.
	Paint the trigger Silver or Aluminum.
	Remove masking tape.
	Paint this button Red.
	Paint these buttons Green.
	Paint the barrel Flat Black.
	Paint the Camera Lens Gloss Black.
	Score the bottom of the Camera with an Hobby Knife to ensure that the glue holds well.
	Score the corresponding area on the Main Body as well.
	Glue the Camera to the Main Body.
	Paint the Disk area Gloss White. Allow to thoroughly dry.
	Carefully attach the Mylar disk to the Disk area. Attach it slowly to ensure there are no air bubbles. I've been looking for an actual Disk that would fit this area, but have not been able to find one. If anyone knows of a disk that is 1 3/4", please let me know!
	Finally, glue the Disk Arm into place, and the kit is all finished!

 

A very simple resin kit that needs just a little clean-up and some paint to make a very nice display piece for every Blade fan!
