Gun Mod: Part 2
Progress!
I didn't like the wood I had before (acrylics) so I got an enamel (testors brown) it's muuuuch nicer looking and good enough.

I also painted the details gunmetal and gold leaf and copper leaf. the gold part I have hopes of putting a copper cog into and then putting some kind of silver or gunmetal greenstuff filigree over.

Shot of most of the painted pieces. You can see the wood color a bit better. dont like how the "brass" is very gold but eh. spraypaint.
Truefact!

Hot glue + spraypaint = fake welding.
Scrollwork!

http://lannakitty.com/pics/Gun_Mod/Scrollwork2.JPG (better)
Next time I will either carve these in? or I will try and make a greenstuff embossing I can paint. the flat gets lost on the silver. I think I am going to try and go gold on the hand grip before I seal it all with acrylic sealer.

I have some stuff I picked up from michaels that kinda worked as ornate bits I could put on things quickly and easily. I also have this thing that looks like a name plate I'm going to paint up in Gunmetal I think and put on the other side of the gun where the scroll works is on one side.
