| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Parked | 02-Jan-17 19:13 |  | | Views : 6525 | | 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. |

| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 02-Jan-17 19:09 |  | | Views : 6626 | | 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 |

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 |
