Description
Decals didn't turn out the way I wanted, always make sure you're printing them on either decal paper or a high gloss printer paper. The ink soaked through the copier paper I used, and putting a clear coat on them made the ink soak in even more. Anyway, you get the idea. Putting some decals on your guns makes a difference!Related content

Thanks! My wife wants me to paint her Rayven to also look like a Dewalt power tool. It has a great shape for it.

Yeh that would be cool, sort of has a dead space plasma cutter feel to it.

The fun thing is that the 18 round mini drum mag looks a lot like an 18v tool battery.

Man, I think the decals do the trick. Don't worry about the ink bloches, it makes it look more used. I actually like the way it turned out. The gun is looking awesome. You could even hit it with some sand paper here and there a little to make it look like it's been in action. The grey and black areas look fantastic. I can't wait to see the finished product. Check out my Gallery under Weaponry for some gun ideas I used.

Unfortunately I'm more experienced with research/analysis and design than actually executing techniques right. I'm hoping that at the very least, I can show off a couple few good new techniques here an there that people who are better painters than me can use to improve their pieces.

I've got a few ambitious projects planned involving old drills and tools, but I don't have any metal shop skills, so a lot will depend on matching shapes and problem solving to figure out how to attach the pieces and give them clean edges. I'll be glueing and wiring a lot of things, and probably screwing some piecestogether. The paint job later is always fun, but the construction is a bitch.

A Dremel can solve a lot of machining or cutting problems! You can get cutoff discs that can cut through anything, sanding drums, router bits, drill bits, etc. I do a lot of work with just my Dremel.
If you can find them, Testors makes clear inkjet decal paper. You could put that over a metallic surface and have it look like ink printed on a metal surface if you want to do logos or filligree work without having to actually etch anything. Also, if you haven't looked yet, check out www.cgtextures.com for weathering reference material.
