Ebay

[dancerjodi]

So I won my first Ebay auction. I pay-paled her the money on Friday and she shipped my item out today.

Its a toy gun for this costume: http://www.padawansguide.com/amidala_battle.shtml

Brian said that I'm a nerd :)

Now, what is a good paint for plastic? I'm not sure if the handle is accurate or not (its brown), I have to poke at more pix). But I'm pretty sure the tip of the gun is a silly fluorescent color, and that will not do!

Congrats!

On the ebay win! :)

I've used the Krylon stuff for my plastic guns; sometimes the flourecent is so bright you need to spreay a primer on it first.

BTW, dunno if yuo saw this: http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=7227989

Thanks for the note on the primer :)

Yep, but that's not the outfit I'm making (I'm working on the Handmaiden Battle outfit from Episode I, the one with the velvet 'frock-like' coat, *swoon*) :)

I'm getting buttloads of muslin tonight to work on it Saturday, here's hoping my first try with pattern altering isn't too bad :)

*smacks forhead*

Yeah, I knew that. Its the same-ish coloring and I always forget what theya re both called. Bah.

Sorry!
