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

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

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.

To save a lot of hassles of sanding, filling, priming and sanding again, I simply wrapped thin plastic around the "body"
