Custom Raider

Okay, so I know no one actually reads this blog yet, but hopefully once I start getting some content on here that will change.

I'm currently working on three guns. The first being the Raider CS-35. The plan for this is to have a simple Tier 1a (more on Tiered Schemes when I open shop) scheme, with a urban military-type feel. Nothing too flashy, its my first gun so I just want to get to grips with some of the modification processes and painting techniques.
This gun has just been undercoated and I've added the second colour (Dark grey stripes). I will remove the AR and insert a power spring, just to beef the gun up a bit.



The second gun I'm working on is an Alpha-Trooper CS-18. For this blaster I will install a power spring, remove the AR and give it a Halo appearance and feel. This gun will feature a Tier 2a colour scheme, giving it 1 more colour than the Raider. Again this is just a practice run, if you like, so that I can build up useful skills and knowledge. I will also paint up the 18-round mag for this gun, although it doesn't work, (damned Brothers!) and I'll tie the paint job in with the gun.



The third gun(s?) I have is a Deploy. Or 6. I recently purchased them from eBay, and whilst only one of them fully functions correctly, I can certainly improve my work by painting and (possibly) fixing and modifying the internals on these guns. If all fails I can paint them up nicely to show examples of the different Tiers of colour schemes available. I also have the idea of mixing and matching parts between the guns so that as many as possible function correctly. In this case I would like to modify and paint one to look similar to the Halo BR. I think this could easily be achieved with a barrel extension.

After:

After gutting this Deploy I doubt I'll be modifying and selling any, the internals of this gun are out of this world! This particular gun will be purely for display, with a Tier 3a camo scheme.

That's all for now, I'll be back soon with more updates on the guns!

NMS.
