    I live in Poland and I used PENTART Wax Paste. The effect is amazing. Brilliant guide. Thank you 😊

    Thanks for the great tutorial! My fiancé and I just found these at Target for $35! Huge post-holiday discount. For that price it’s a no brainer. Side note: Adam Savage did a teardown video for Lola on his Tested channel and the mechanics are honestly just astounding. Amazing feat of toy engineering - check it out if you haven’t already! Happy crafting y’all

    5:28 - Believe me, making something look rough is insanely nerve wracking the first time you do it. I did a voyage on the Starcruiser where I was a mechanic with this jumpsuit. I got a great looking menchaics overalls, put star wars badges and greeblies on it and spent a great deal of time getting it looking JUUUUUUST right. And then I got to destroy it! Its a mechanic jumpsuit! If it were prestine, it wouldnt look right. So I wore the fabric around the buttons with sandpaper, I took a lighter to a couple of flaps and zippers, and splattered it with acrylic paint.
    Hardest thing I ever did, but it looks GREAT!

    Wow! Huge difference. I think I'm going to try this.
    I bought 2... one for the wife and one for me. I want mine more of an Imperial Looking droid however... what would you use to paint the red to say a dark gray color instead? Spray paint then some sort of top coat?
    Thanks for any thoughts.

    • @StarWarsReplicas
      @StarWarsReplicas  Рік тому +1

      Yeah just mask the white with painter’s tape and a regular rattle can should do the trick. I always hit anything I spray paint with light “wet sanding” to give it a slight metallic shine

    • @bobafett4ever
      @bobafett4ever Рік тому

      @@StarWarsReplicas Thanks for the response. As I'm new to this, do you do the wet sanding prior to the spray painting, or after? Would you use 800 grit, and literally just wet and gently rub down the red ring, which I want to turn to either gray or black?
      Thanks again!

  • @superfunforce8052
    @superfunforce8052 Рік тому

    Thanks for this! One thing, I read up on rub n buff, and it's supposed to be permanent. You mention it comes right off, so I'm hesitant to use it. If I apply it, I wouldn't want it to come off when people touch it. You said chlorox wipes take it right off, just wanted to verify

    • @StarWarsReplicas
      @StarWarsReplicas  Рік тому

      It can be permanent if you really get in there and heat it up with friction. But it’s a wax so ultimately a solvent like alcohol will remove it
