Gun picture thread

Just finished another weathered paint job. This is 'Starry'*. 

I wanted it to look like it's been dug up out of a Ukrainian garden after 20 years and recalled to active service... and I think it worked. ?

Method:

I stripped it back to bare metal, primed and repainted black so that when the paint inevitably chips, it's exposes the metal.

I then used acrylic rust colours from brown to orange, dabbed on with foam in patches.

The whole lot was then covered in an uneven textured 'technical' acrylic to give it the caked-up finish.

The wood was sanded to remove the top layer then I used an aggressive sanding brush disc to carve runs into it. It was then doused in an oil-coloured acrylic wash to make it look distressed and a bit rotten.

Finally, it was airbrushed with layers of matte varnish and chipping agent.

Long live the 'Kraine! ??

*Real name 'staryy brudnyy svoloch' (старий брудний сволоч) which is Ukrainian for 'Old Dirty Bastard'.

I like a bit of wear to make things look more real but that's going a bit too far for me ?

Very good job tho ?  Really looks like it was dug up from somewhere.

Yeah, it's definitely on the top end of the 'worn' scale. ?

I recently finished a job for someone at my local club, weathering their bland 'stainless steel'-coloured DEagle into a rather nice black.
