Couple of things, when you sand at the beginning, you can do this using soapy water, this will make sanding easier, save clogging up the sand paper and also wash the part as you sand, also when you do the weathered look with watered down black paint make sure its not on a matt white or you wont be able to wipe off after, this is more for people watching..... Apart from that i would say its a great job for your first go

Nice job Rick! looks like a fun project. It reminds me of when I built my lightsaber out of plumbing parts. You can see it in my profile picture along with some Photoshop tricks. Putting the lights inside your gun looks fantastic and the light on the wall side really adds to the effect.

Nice project Rick. It took me back to when I was young and painted citadel miniatures. The technique with the wipe on and wipe off was similar to the inking that we used to do. The idea was paint on, ink in the crevices and shadows, and then dry brush the highlights. Finally varnishing with the clear matt as you did. What's next? Maybe recreate a Rhino or a Land Raider in actual size? ;-) All the best.

If you have an airbrush, but you could spray darker whites or make a few scratch masks. rubbing the edges with course sandpaper helps too. But hey you've done a great job. the lights looks schweeet

Nicely done! The paint technique when you applied paint & then removed is called "ragging" usually done with professional paint rags - like old T-shirt fabric. You might like to try applying paint with crinkled up plastic grocery bags or brown craft paper bags - like lunch bags. I think you'd like the sort of 'camo' effect you could achieve. Applying paint with a sea sponge might give you an effect you might like too. When I previously mentioned that it would be great to see your "Rick-ness" added to your new LR decor, I wasn't expecting this! But, it is so you, right? And just so I don't worry about you - please be careful with your faux stove next to sheer drapes. By building code, those can combust in 3-7 seconds & set the house ablaze. Highly flammable fabric & would wick straight up the wall into interior wall construction like a chimney to the 2nd floor. It is a cozy touch to your transitional room design. : )

Ik you said it looked patchy and the acrylic matte spray helped fix that etc but if you were to do this again would you just use the matte black spray to prep it instead of the vinyl dye?
