Default Re: Wilco Models Prop offer

having costumed with resin prop blasters for close to 10 years now, I have found the clear coat does buy you a little time, but in the end, you will have to repaint a costuming piece every couple of events. even holster wear on it will require the touchups. And let's face it, for pictures you'll draw the weapon. I know I do alot.

It's also easier in Star Wars to have good vs evil pics, cause there is a nice split of costumers on both sides. Unless Cylon Armor goes down in price ALOT, we'll have to hope Stormtroopers will let us square off against them lol.

for my grips, I actually used a enamel paint I found in a hardware store. It was for touch ups. It was is Nut brown. The company who made it is Plasti-kote. But the bast black is auto paint lol.
