Title: Re: Saint's Display Project Post by: Saint on November 30, 2012, 12:05:53 AM Stumbled upon the Gaffi on one of countless collectible sites. It's only a cheap "Rubies", but does look pretty cool...

Title: Re: Saint's Display Project Post by: eerockk on December 01, 2012, 03:53:04 PM The two-tone action works great though, Saint, and I think I would have done the same (it has the contrast of the stormtrooper armor against the black Death Star walls). The rack was awesome to begin with, but I think it looks a thousand times better painted black like that! My wife asked me to do something like this, and you (and Vrakul) have taken a lot of the work out of this project for me. Cheers!
Title: Re: Saint's Display Project Post by: Saint on December 01, 2012, 04:52:11 PM My awesome wife is truly interested in my latest addiction and strongly recommended I paint it black. As always, she's wasn't wrong. ;-)
Title: Re: Saint's Display Project Post by: Oramac on December 02, 2012, 05:36:05 PM Awesome display!! I've been looking at building something like that since I wanted to display my sabers vertically. You just saved me a load of time. Point to you, sir!
Did you sand it before you painted it? Title: Re: Saint's Display Project Post by: Saint on December 02, 2012, 07:26:05 PM Thanks Oramac (and everyone).
I didn't sand before spraying. Just used a can of Kryon ultra-flat-black (Canadian Walmart for sure) in very thin multiple coats, waiting at least a half hour between (~6) coats. I then left it overnight before handling and mounting. Good luck! |
