This week I built Han Solo’s DL-44 Blaster!
This was a pretty hasty build and I wasn’t able to dedicate quite as much time to the details as I would have liked, but overall I think it still came out pretty great. This was my second time using pastel chalks as a weathering technique, and I must say, I fall more in love with this method every time I use it. It really is the perfect way to quickly add age and texture to any Star Wars build.
I also briefly experimented with replicating the look of wood grain on the resin printed blaster grips. I didn’t quite have the proper tools for the job like I had seen others use, but I still gave it a shot! Although the end product doesn’t exactly read “wood grain,” the painting technique I used still gives the grips more depth than if I had just slapped some brown spray paint on it. The first layer of failed paint also gives a nice rough texture to what would otherwise be a smooth uninteresting surface.
Lastly I’ll mention that I love the Vallejo Metal Color line (sponsor me lol). Using a handful of slightly similar metal colors instead of just one or two for dry brushing over black really helped add visual interest to the blaster. It doesn’t draw attention to itself, but I feel that the slight variation in tones adds a further bit of realism to the prop.
Thanks for watching!
