| Add the finished cartridge to the top of the gun, and with the wooden side grips, we've got one cool machine gun sitting on the top wing for all to see. |

| For the rear grip. Just use a small round dowel and sand the ends to a slight taper. I used a thin plastic strip painted gray for the simulated metal bracket |

| Cut the paper to fit the grip handle and add a small trigger guard by simply wrapping a strip of plastic around itself |

| To give the top wing mounted Lewis machine gun a little bit more "bling" I wanted to add some wood to the grip handle. I took a picture of my butcher block counter top in the kitchen. Uploaded to my printer. Made a print of the wood grain pattern. You could dry paint wood grain patterns if you choose to do so. |

| A small ring from a local bead shop and masking tape painted a light tan color to bring out the contrast and pop out the "leather strap." |

| I used water colors instead of artist's oils or other paints to avoid any reaction with the copper paint. 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 |
