Everything Gets A Coat Of Grey Primer (greybecause It Makes It Easy To See When I've Covered The Previous

Everything gets a coat of grey primer (greybecause it makes it easy to see when I've covered the previous black primer coat)

First lesson from this test print - the D & M in the Departmento Munitorum need to be tweaked to print better

Gave the body of the pistol a coat of green, followed by drybrushing with a lighter green

The body got masked off, then the metallic parts got a coat of gloss black primer followed by gunmetal.

The handle got a coat of matte black primer, then the trigger, trigger guard & lanyard ring got a paint of gunmetal with a regular paintbrush.

The best bit of masking is the big reveal at the end when you peel the masking off

Time to magnetise the power cell into the mag well

The magnets are 6mm x 3mm cylindrical neodynium magnets, held in place with superglue.

Step 1 is to glue the magnets into the power cell

Then, use the magnets on the power cell to position the magnets in the main gun

Test assembly to see what it looks like in one piece

Starting assembly on the test print of this Laspistol Sculpt - Step 1, remove supports and clean up any particularly rough edges with 240 grit sandpaper

Next, glue the main body and the power cell together using superglue

Then, add the smaller detail pieces, again with superglue - any big gaps get filled with body filler and sanded flat-ish

The assembled body, power cell & barrel are ready for the next step
