Our production manager just finished up his precious. It's a 7.62x39.






It must still belch fire. That's a lot of powder and a short runway. Love to see some night fire pics.looks good though I am usually not a fan of the pig on the end. Well executed build.
For highlighting engraved items, I have had some good success with automotive touch up paint (available in Wal-Mart) - and even Testers Model Paint...The white logo is fingernail polish. Just dab it in the grooves then let dry. Use a Qu tip barely damp with remover to clean it up. I'm trying to find a bright enought red for the F. Any idea's. Fingernail polish isn't my expertise.

Torch Red would be cool, and Testers has some vivid reds.
I will tell you that unless it is fresh, it'll load up like nail polish - so as you know, the thinner it is, the better it flows. Oh yeah, I use a toothpick and let it flow in small little drops.
I had some good pics of my truck grill emblems that turned out awesome - so I'll see if I can find 'em to post.
I always wondered what you guys were using to do that. I always thought it was some special paint. I like the way you guys think, simple, yet effective!I used Testors Model paint as well:For highlighting engraved items, I have had some good success with automotive touch up paint (available in Wal-Mart) - and even Testers Model Paint...The white logo is fingernail polish.
