7Tate to the rescue! Went back and grabbed a couple of these tins:

Faster flow rate and slightly smaller spray radius, but it worked a treat and I got a far more even layer all over.

Will leave it to cure for a day and then move to the brown on the grip and stock before weathering and touch-ups.

After letting the paint dry completely for a day or so, I then started masking up in preparation for painting the stock and grip. I also tried to mask some of the finer details that I wanted to keep as black (or silver) – the indent on the base of the stock, the 8 screws on the grip and the screw on the butt.

I masked the fine lines and covered the rest with newspaper and started to apply a series of thin layers of brown.

Once the brown was touch dry, I carefully removed the paper and tape and I will let the brown dry for another 24 hours before I do any more work on it.

There was a couple of very small areas where I didn’t mask well enough and a light dusting of brown came through, but I will be able to fix that up with some judicious weathering.



After consulting a couple of experts – Cyclops and Cueloopz – I was steered towards the technique of Dry Brushing for the weathering effects I wanted.

I chose Humbrol Silver for weathering on black and Humbrol Black for weathering the stock and the muzzle. Using a fine hair brush I dry brushed the silver onto anywhere where I thought wear and tear might take place on the barrel. Having never done this before I was a bit ham-fisted, so tried to use the “less is more’ principle.

Weathering of the muzzle and the stock complete. I replicated the dry-brushing technique using a soft rag and black paint in order to ‘dirty up’ the brown grip and stock and stock, and the silver muzzle.

The Aluminium rod I had been using as a temporary insert to maintain the straightness of the barrel I now replaced with a chrome rod. I found some aluminium tubing which would fit inside the chrome rod and riveted it inside the rod to provide additional strength.

Rod inserted and glued; muzzle attached, bolt attached as well as the conical disc on the grip.

Letting all the gluing dry for 24 hours and then I will be able to finally assemble it for the first time!
