Ya primer is definitely the way to go with these specific prints for sure. Finished off the antenna greeblies that way today as well. Also finished the flash hider, bull barrel and scope..

Here some pics of the scope as well. First this is the paint I used for these parts, then some assembly pics and weathering. I used the resin scope wheel simply because the details resin can capture with the numbers/knurling. I did finish the MJF wheel for comparison. This also leads to the limitations of these prints which you can see in the “Hensoldt” writing..
Here’s a couple in direct sunlight as the color changes a bit..
Vagabond Elf thanks for sharing the primer info. Two things peeked my interest. Your spelling of colour. I’m originally from Ontario myself but have have crossed the boarder back and forth many times as my family is split between Canada/US. Always nice to cross paths with fellow Canadian. 2nd and more importantly.. are you building an R5-D4??

Yeah, I'm in YEG, born an' bred. And since we're discussing grammar I'm obligated to point out it's "piqued my interest." Which is admittedly a bit of an odd phrase to mean "caught my attention" since "fit of pique" means "self-interested, childish anger," but English, hey?
(As for colour, you have to have the "u" in it so you know it rhymes with "fur." "Color" is actually a word, that rhymes with "for" and means "irritated." (And yes, I know the Americans took their spelling from the Latin "color" which means "outward appearance" or "visual characteristic." It's all part of that "we're not part of England any more" identity building that happened in the early 19th Century.))
And yes, I'm working on an Arfive build. Slowly, because I'm poor, but I'm working on it. I've a build log over at Astromech.net.
Vagabond Elf math I’ve always been pretty ok at.. English not so much. Never to old to improve though
Send a link to ur build if that’s cool? I’d love to follow the progress.

I spent a long time on the knurling and it’s nice to see that it at least came out pretty accurate in comparison. Definitely rewarding to see. The top 3 knurling is smaller than the bottom..
I forgot I already had a resin base previously printed up. The “9761” details are much crisper here..
The missed part finally arrived..
This build is going to be on hiatus for a bit as I tackle other project but here are the grips screws in place..
Got a cricut about a year ago. Never took it out of the box until today. This is literally my first attempt and it’s already impressive. Definitely room for improvement but off to a positive start..
ANH Hero on a modified Denix..
Thanks C! As long as I can get Tony to help create the backstory u just might be right.
Back to the full MJF build..
So here is one side sanded and the other not for comparison. I’m going to lose some of the lettering and numbers but it’s going to look pretty good once finished I believe..
Some more progress..
