Keldor Swords and MAA Blaster Touch-Ups...

[jerec350]

Added some bronze and purple metallic paint to the back of the Keldor swords. Now they don't look so "off" when the peg holes are facing out.



Also got my second MAA blaster today and added some black to the inner barrell.

Nice work. Simply and effectively makes both items better.

Yeah, not difficult at all. I really wanted to display the swords apart and both blades facing the correct direction but the back side of the bronze sword was sticking out like a sore thumb. Now I hardly even notice it.

Nice work. They look very cool.

I feel stupid, but I can't tell what you did with the sword.

That's the point

If you look at the original swords back sides where the pegs/holes are you'll see that it is just purple plastic. In order to display the swords properly (blades facing down) you have to have 1 sword showing the backside which just does not look right. I painted the backside of my bronze sword with bronze metallic paint so that way it looks normal when facing the proper direction.

Here are some more shots to see the difference:






Plus I swapped my Dragon Blaster Skeletor's armor to a regular Skeletor with an Alcala head and Faceless One Havoc Staff. I love how his eyes match up with the translucent part of the staff.
