Thanks all for the kind comments

Added some weathering/wear to the butt plate and grip frame.

One question, you did the whole model as super clean brand new, why the scuffed butt plate??It too should be like brand new.

OK That works..and I missed the missing paint above the butt plate on the grip frame..

I stand corrected.

GREAT job by the way.

O.k. might sound silly but it took three attempts, I was trying for a similar scratch pattern as seen on the real thing, I know I wasn't going to duplicate it scratch for scratch but I wanted it to resemble it if possible.

Wrapped the sides with masking tape, as close to the edge as possible (don't need to be too precise as most of the paint comes off anyway) keyed the surface with 320 grit paper to give the paint something to hold onto then gave it two light coats of matt black out of a rattle can.

After about an hour or so I removed the masking tape then left it overnight.

Then I cleaned up the edges using some fine paper (1000 grit I think) then gently sanded the flat painted area with 2000 grit to thin and flatten the paint out (all sanding was done dry)

For the bulk of the scratches I used 120 grit, gently scuffing the surface to get general background scratches and wearing the paint away so the metal ghosted through in areas.

For the edges and stand out scratches I just used the blade of a small flat head screwdriver to etch the pattern into the paint.

To finish I gave the whole bottom a very gentle sanding with 5000 grit to flatten it.

Hope that helps.

Absolutely top notch. Best I have seen!

Thanks for great pics.

What about green LEDs. They work too?

Your welcome, thank you for the comment.

Green LED's are not wired so don't work no.

Wow! That is an absolutely stunning finish. I think it's a fantastic representation of what the gun would have looked like when Deckard first got it. That's what I was going for as well, but I didn't achieve nearly this good a result. Very well done!

Hi all, just finished my pro and thought I would post some pics, I would love to say it was fun, but it wasn't, if I never see a bottle of blue ever again it will be too soon.

Thanks for looking.

John.
