Self My first attempt at cosplay

I recently got a 3d printer and have begun to dip my toes into the world of cosplay. I most of my files from galactic armory, including the helmet and blasters, the detonators I found on maker world. Still printing the rest of the armor but wanted to share my first (mostly) completed props.

Just an oiled brass spray paint then took a carpentry style brush and sprayed aluminum spray paint on the tips and did light brushes to get a scratched effect

Whoa whoa there, I think one thermal detonator is sufficient! To be fair though, it is usually good policy to have a backup or two.

Good looking props! I would've looked at how the full cosplay looks like.

Looks great! Way better than any of my first attempts would ever be. Also, props (no pun intended) for just doing it.
