Had an idea for a new cosplay. This time, a Mandalorian-style bounty hunter.
The pistols I plan on making are based on the "Interstellar Regulator Besh" pistol from Star Wars: The Old Republic
Using the screenshots as a guide, I made a template in Paint Shop Pro, and then printed out two copies
For the bodies of the guns, I'll be using cores of 1/2" EVA floor mat foam, and the outer sides will be from 10mm HD EVA foam.
PVS barrels cut to length amd the channels for them laid out on the foam pieces
Midified the pieces to accept the PVC barrels by cutting the inserts out of the cores, and then using my Dremmel to carve the channels in the outer pieces
Guns assembled.
Pieces were glued together using Gorilla construction adhesive
With the barrels in place, I turned my attention to detailing the guns.
Further shaping was done with a sanding drum in my Dremel
The lines were burned in using the tip of my soldering iron
With construction basically finished, I gave both pistols a coat of black Plasti-Dip to seal the foam
Gave both guns a base coat of Krylon Charcoal Metallic
Went in after the metallic was dry and painted in the white with acrylic craft paint
The red details were painted in with Citadel Mephiston Red
Thw whole thing was given a black wash, followed by a drybrush with silver to add to the weathered look
Finished build pics:
Are they perfect? No
Am I happy with them? Yes
Why? Because, while I could have modded a couple of Nerf-style guns for these, I didn't. These guns are entirely my own work.
