Customized Rubies Han Solo DL-44 Blaster

Brett Bartniks shares his latest custom collectible.  Thanks for sharing this with us!

This I had purchased from party city. It had a lot of potential to look great. First I sanded the trademark and logos off it, then took the front piece out on the business end of the blaster. I then drilled little holes in the barrel of the blaster and scored the handle/grip with a razor. It’s time to paint now and this one was fairly easy. I used a spray paint primer then spray painted it black. Now its time for hand paint. I painted the barrel silver/chrome. Then dry brushed the rest of the gun to make it look as if metal was being exposed. I also dry brushed a little gold/rust in a couple areas of the scope. Now it was time to paint the handle/grip of the blaster to make it look like real wood. Last it was just going over the blaster with a black wash or black shoe polish to give it that weathered look. Hope you enjoy!



  

Custom Jakks Pacific BB-8 Big Fig

Brett Bartniks shares his latest custom collectible.  Thanks for sharing this with us!

I am not completely finished with this one yet. This is theJakks Pacific BB-8 big fig. I first weathered it and painted it to look as if he had been in the sand and on ships, then I removed the thumbs up plastic lighter and replaced it with a real torch lighter that I had painted and weathered as best as I could to make it like it was supposed to be there. The best thing about this figure is that it already has electronics in it so he talks and the real torch lighter I put in so he can give a thumbs up flame just like in the movie.

If anyonehas any ideas for a base just comment or email me at btbartnik@gmail.com.
