tough call..I'm totally with you when you say not to just do 'another' blaster, it's almost too easy to just slavishly try and be as screen accurate as possible, not to mention been done before countless times.
I'm considering the same thing but may go for a 'sorta similar to the Deckard classic with tweaks'. In the end the kit is not exactly screen accurate so you may as well go yor own way.
You should just go for it, maybe get a photo into photoshop and tweak the colours til you're happy as a way of deciding?

Well I got just about it all painted. Still working on the knobs, sight rod & push switches since I have to remake them fom resin,
I have not glued anything so far its all held together with screws. But I feel that I might glue in afew parts to make it really sturdy.
Ive added about 10 real screws and afew custom parts found and modded from a local hardware store.
So far I dig it...the color scheme fits my style. Just need to darkin the grips to more of a red/brown. I really like the silver under the grips tho.
Sorry I just could not get really nice pics, they kept coming out blurry. So tell me what you guys think so far.

Thank you!
Hopefully I get time to sculpy up and paint the rest up this weekend.
I hate when stuff sits there. Just too much time at work and home stuff lately. |

That's looking pretty damn good. The choice to go with silver for the side panels and the rest gives it a nice non standard look without deviating too wildly. I think its like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it.
