Helotech[TK] Posted May 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Did minor weathering with graphite powder on some raised areas. Basically simulating repeated drawing from a holster and a TK's gloved hands wearing the grip and manipulating the safety. It is hard to capture the shiny bits in the pictures. I also burnished some internal grooved areas on the right hand side for more visual interest. Next is a clear coat. I may do it flat rather than satin so I can have the grip panels contrasting the main body. I also just remembered I need to find appropriate screws... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helotech[TK] Posted May 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Happy Friday! It's amazing. I have very organized hardware storage bins filled with every conceivable kind of screw, nut and bolt. Yet I don't have anything to fit the grips and scope rings. So, off to the Home Depot and I found some pretty cool screws. These are nylon "pan-head" screws with common (not Robertson or Phillips) heads. Exactly what I needed. They are a bit long, but that is the beauty of the nylon material. Easy to snip to size. Once snipped, I will rough the screw heads with sandpaper, then prime. After they are screwed / glued into place, a quick dab with black paint and you got Uncle Bob. I'll be gluing and clamping the grip panels down as they are very slightly bowed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
