Tried Out A Polymer Reciever Look, And Experimenting With An Optional Sight Rail

Tried out a polymer reciever look, and experimenting with an optional sight rail

I think the sight rail mounting needs work - might end up with a rail all the way along the top?

Everything Gets A Coat Of Grey Primer (greybecause It Makes It Easy To See When I've Covered The Previous

Everything gets a coat of grey primer (greybecause it makes it easy to see when I've covered the previous black primer coat)

Everything Gets A Coat Of Grey Primer (greybecause It Makes It Easy To See When I've Covered The Previous

First lesson from this test print - the D & M in the Departmento Munitorum need to be tweaked to print better

Everything Gets A Coat Of Grey Primer (greybecause It Makes It Easy To See When I've Covered The Previous

Gave the body of the pistol a coat of green, followed by drybrushing with a lighter green

The body got masked off, then the metallic parts got a coat of gloss black primer followed by gunmetal.

The handle got a coat of matte black primer, then the trigger, trigger guard & lanyard ring got a paint of gunmetal with a regular paintbrush.

The best bit of masking is the big reveal at the end when you peel the masking off

Good news - Everything fits together

Changes needed:

1) The "19 MEGATHULE" text is too shallow and some of the strokes are too thin to survive the filler primer & sanding - Switched to a different font & slightly deeper engraving

2) The knurling on the laser sight is a bit too fine - it survived the filler primer but fewer, deeper cuts would be better

3) The Departmento Munitorum stamp on the charging handle is a little small - made bigger
