Jim Raynor's Revolver

[mitch81292]

I'm not sure if you guys care much for Starcraft, but I figured I would share my progress of his revolver I was making.

All i have to do now is paint.

 

[Omega Ravager]

Very cool I'm looking forward to your paint job!

Also, please try to refrain from shooting the TV next time there's something on the news you don't like.

The Rifle he uses(just an old airsoft gun with some weathering and added a barrel from another gun.)

[mitch81292]

All done!

Also, please excuse the shoddy picture quality.

the vest looks a little light in shade to the pictures of him, any way to darken it?

and the revolver looks a little too organic,
what did you use to build up the shape? heated up styrene? wonderflex? craft foam?
i like what you were going for, but i think theres too many inconsistent lines and it looks "soft" in areas, you have laired your white "building material" to overlap in places, or like at the back of the revolver chamber, over existing detail, which results in it having a slightly melted look.
while that effect may be good for some props. a weapon is something you want flat surfaces on, even if the surface is curving, which is fine, like around a pipe, you don't want it to be an uneven surface.
harder plastics like sheet styrene are great for this, because you can always sand out the areas that aren't 'flat' or smooth.

your attention to detail is looking good, perhaps the trigger guard could do with extending and bulking out a little, but i think your main problem is your choice of materials, and a bad choice in materials is something that's hard to work around.

Unfortunately with the vest it isnt painted that way, it is in-fact fabric wrapped around camping foam and backpack straps.

And with the material choice with the pistol, I can see everything you have stated and i regret the look I got with the paint. However, due to time and money constraints it was the best i could do with what I had. The camera might add to the imperfections that you saw, but overall you are correct. I wish I had more time and a better budget, but i think i have done a pretty good job with what I had. Hopefully some day I can redo with better mats but Thank you So Much for your honesty!
