Weathering scope second round, and much happier with the look - less is more as it were

After looking the scope over, I feel I over weathered it - so I have decided to redo it.

Once dry, I will be securing the side screws, decal, and back lens.

Time to weather!

Once the paint was dry, it was time for some review of other scopes and prep for weathering mine with Humbol #54 Brass.

Touch testing the paint job for tackiness, I found 24 hours wasn't long enough - so I left the scope to dry for another 24.

Lol - absolutely mint brother! Nice work [emoji38][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Using a nail to keep finger prints off, I've painted the scope/ counter mounting rail as well.

It may look a little rough when you first paint - but after allowing 24 hours to dry it will look stellar, and will also be ready for weathering with some brass paint.

Time for some semi-gloss paint!

I used "Fix-It Stik" to fill in what I needed to for the back lens to fit, and smoothed it out using the Dremel for the future crosshairs decal, that will go in before the red lens is secured.

As always life has been busy on all fronts, but still getting little bits done at a time. Holes drilled for the brass screws

I can use these ones for the back of the scope

Lord Vader is smiling! I just found two more holding the sight crystal!!!

Let's extract those bad boys and get the scope prepped for them.

Some days I honestly question if I have horse shoes in my thermal detonator... Here's some of the survey equipment I pulled from a construction bin: First they are the proper brass, next they are exactly 2mm
