Han Solo Blaster - 10/31/2017

Back in January I decided to dress up as Han Solo for Halloween this year.  Over the past few months I have slowly been putting together the pieces of the costume.  The pants are simply a pair of dockers that I already have.  The holster and the shirt, I ordered online from Etsy.  And the vest has been hanging in my closet for years, which I had bought from the Star Wars fan club back in the 1980s.


As for the blaster, I was inspired by Adam Savage to buy a toy and paint it myself to resemble the real gun.  I watched a couple of Adam’s YouTube videos again and again to learn some of the techniques to mask, paint and weather this project.


Here are a progression of photos that I took over the past few months showing the progress of this paint project.
