Tweak away Skipper, it's looking good!

Problem is colors are different to different people. To me it looks like Alclad Steel, Stainless Steel, or maybe an Iron color. But then again, I am the guy on the right in this pic.

Thanks Greg. Little did I know when I bought it from you what I was getting myself in to. There were several sites that had reference photos, but there was one that someone did a walk around that helped a huge amount. The gun had been painted white at sometime in the past, and was set up semi...

@Steve Ski and @Greg Kimsey Thanks for looking in. There was a point where I was "why am I bothering" (as this was supposed to be out of the box) Yeah, Right, famous last words with me. Anyway now that it is almost all assembled with all the heavy riveting that it is supposed to have, the...

Those look like some of the stuff found in Machinery's Handbook. I picked up a reasonably priced copy of Machinery's edition 24 a short while back. It is about 2 1/2 inches thick and has a bit over 2500 pages. I have started placing sticky markers (like small post it notes) on pages that I...

@Brokeneagle I hope this answers your question about the hex shapes and nuts and bolts. I also made some brass hex "tools" to cut some thinner hex nuts a while back. (what I made the roller tool for) So I could cut some nuts and bolt heads out of flat stock if I needed them. Those...

That turned out REALLY nice!

WOW! The skin tones and shading on the face are excellent! The war bonnet are still in process and I expect that will be over the top as well. As to the tassels, the paint colors and shading will have a lot to do with how much they stand out. You could scrape them down a little if any...

Yeah Chris, he needs to get on here and start posting with us other old Grampy farts. :bigrin: :stinker:

Effin Apple products. I found a little program online that will convert files to JPG, or a couple of other formats with just a right click. It's called reaConverter Lite. It will only do 1 photo at a time unless you pay a small fee then it can do batches. I never need more than one at a time...

So far so good! Looking to be a nice job. I never bother with time periods for builds any more. They "ALWAYS" take 3 to 25 times longer than I originally thought they would. Usually because the kits I choose have "issues" that I can't overlook once I see the "issues".

If you are talking about the hex on the connectors, those are not hex material. They were made using my lathe which has some basic index holes. I marked 6 of the holes each 60° apart, set it for a hole and file a flat area, then rotate to the next hole and do the same. I also have an...

Welcome! We have people from all over and enjoy visiting and sharing with anyone that wants to be involved. Sometimes all it takes to get inspired and started is to just join in and watch the builds that people are creating here. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask as we enjoy...

Well, Git-R-Done!

He is state side and does mostly figures that are somewhat fantasy and along the lines of what you would find at Wonderfest. The quality of his stuff is quite good and he stands behind his products. He is out of Florida so state side. No military stuff, but if that isn't an issue he does have...
