Jaypack44 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Man That is NICE!!! What did U use for the gun barrels?? The barrels are (I think) .030 or.035 styrene rod, with a thin strip of foil wrapped around one end, and a tiny piece of .020 rod on the very tip. Thanks for all your comments guys! One more thing, last night I went in and added a little more weathering (basically just some minor exhaust and fuel staining and some minor discoloration to tone down the white markings). I'll try to get some updated pics up soon. (I didn't weather it much, but I think it adds just a little bit more realism.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
