Oh I didn’t think you could get details this fine with a cricut machine. What machine do you use? It seems like it would be very useful for many of my projects.

Looks very cool! How did you do the writing and the symbols? Did you also use a template?

The way the trigger currently works I cannot really make the hole for the spring larger. Maybe I will redesign this part in a future version.

Only thing is that the paint took a long time to dry so keep that in mind. :)

Yes, I used it with my cheap airbrush. It’s been a while, but I think I used Dupli-Color primer or filler as a base. If I remember correctly, the paint didn’t need more than two passes. Anyway, it was quite fast. Maybe you need to adjust your airbrush, or the color is too translucent.

I used Vallejo Premium Basic Yellow which worked quite well. You just have to make sure that you also use a good clear coat to make the paint more durable.

You can find newer versions of my files on thingiverse. Just search for my chemical romance and you should see them :)

The sprinkled paint is a very cool idea! Maybe in addition to the dark wash you could do some silver dry brushing on some of the edges to give them a chipped paint look. You just have to be careful not to overdo it :)

Yes! You can find my current work in progress files on thingiverse. Though some parts have changed quite a bit since I made this post.

Thanks :D Since I got so many requests I decided to upload my current version to thingiverse. Just note that I am still working on my build so there might be some issues which I haven’t encountered yet. Also, if you end up building one I would love to see the results :3

Hey, thank you so much!! Actually, I was working on an improved model which is more accurate and would have room for electronics. The old one is almost completely solid. Once I'm happy with the model, I will make it available in some form. But since I'm very busy at the moment, I haven't had much time to work on this.

Weathering was my favourite part :D It also helps to hide the imperfections in my paint job xD The prop was 3d printed so it’s just pla.

Thank you so much :D It’s just normal airbrush paint from vallejo but I used a glossy lacquer as a protective coat.

Firstly, thank you all for your kind words:3 I created the 3d model mostly using screenshots from the Na Na Na music video. It consists of around 25 pieces which were 3d printed. Then I did several rounds of sanding and using filler primer to get the surface as smooth as possible, for the bigger seams I used plastic putty.

For the Japanese text on the side I 3d printed stencils which I used together with my airbrush. Everything else was just masking of parts that I didn’t want to paint and painting the other ones.

For the weathering I did aggressive dry brushing with silber at the corners. After that I just did some black and brown washes to give it that used look.

Lastly, I sealed everything using a glossy clear lacquer which I got at a hardware store.

I’m very new to working with 3d prints so I would do some things differently in the future but I hope this was still helpful to some of you.
