Thanks for the info.
That was what I was thinking about that rifle. I will have to dig through my bits bin and see if I can find one in my 'Joe container/armory.
My staff recipe is a bamboo skewer (3 mm.) cut to length with about a mm. extra length on each end. I cleaned up the tips with a 500/1000 grit sanding block so they were flat with a little rounding.
For the color I mixed some paint to match the hue of her accessory and it's collapsed version on her fanny pack. It was a mix of the basic dirt brown, with yellow, and a little red.
(Recipe: Br:10, Ye:4, Rd:1.5/Testors Acryllic)
I dipped the tips first and then let them dry so it could be handled when I painted the rest of the staff. I layered it on pretty thick so the bamboo would soak it in.
After it was left to dry for a few hours, it was time to seal it.
For this I use "Pledge Wi/Future". I grabbed a plastic saucer and poured a little in the bottom and rolled the staff in it for a bit and let it marry to the paint some. Making sure it was completely covered from tip to tip. I took my finishing brush and smoothed the floor pollish down the staff till it started to set up. Then I left it alone to dry completely before I touched it again.
The neat part is that while it looks very plastic, it still has it's wood grain and is quite rigid. It looks like I hit the correct color, but it will not stain Cheetara's pale hands due to the sealant layer.
BTW:
You are correct on the Nunchucks. That plastic laughs at paint. It would be easier to recast them in the correct colors before any paint would adhere.
