When the wash mixture is dried, I used a damp Q-tip to wipe off the excess, leaving the dark mixture of black and brown deep within the small crevices and cracks to help give the cartridge some depth Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 02-Jan-17 19:06 Views : 1023 used water colors heavily diluted with water to about 10-1. This will form what is called a "wash." I applied this wash over the whole cartridge allowing the thinned water/paint mixture to flow through all of the crevices and cracks via capillary action Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 02-Jan-17 19:01 Views : 935 The "cartridge" was then sprayed from a rattle can of copper Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 02-Jan-17 19:00 Views : 917 Almost finished Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 02-Jan-17 18:59 Views : 933 I added a small circular piece of plastic on top. Then cut very thin strips from black electrical tape. This tape is very flexible. I added each thin strip to the opposite sides to help get a balanced look Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 02-Jan-17 18:57 Views : 925 Just like with the body of the machine gun, I used thin plastic. In this case, its wrapped around the balsa. This will save me lots of sanding, filling, priming and more sanding.

Note the round balsa piece to be used as a cartridge Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 02-Jan-17 18:53 Views : 711 small tubing used for the front portion of the gun. Notice the pin to be used to help hold the small barrel in place Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 02-Jan-17 18:52 Views : 717 Main barrel and cooling fins being assembled. Fins were made from half-round plastic strips Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 02-Jan-17 18:50 Views : 704 To save a lot of hassles of sanding, filling, priming and sanding again, I simply wrapped thin plastic around the "body" Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 02-Jan-17 18:49 Views : 707 Basic parts of the machine gun laid out. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 02-Jan-17 18:48 Views : 725 Cutting out different sized plastic tubing for the barrel.
