I prefer the second as well it looks much more swarzy

on one hand I think it too plain, on the other it is unmistakeably a "speaker" So I'm kinda torn 

[Zophar Ptay]

progress!

[Nirob]

Looks good, now hit it with some color!

[Zophar Ptay]

Working on it.   Not happy with some uneven body work.   Still touching up here and there.   All of that red needs to be sanded down and I'll see how it looks.  Paint this weekend I expect

[Dresdon Acacin]

maybe put some raised panels on it for added texture

[Zophar Ptay]

yup :-)

Looks really sweet ner vod.

[Niabi]

that looks cool

Going to run to run around today and look for a last little something to add some texture to the top flat bit.  I'm thinking some tile trim left over from my bathroom reno if I can't find anything else.  Cut off the prtetty part and have a flat strip of the base part that has the cutouts.    Or maybe an old door strike plate like this one.

Other than that, I have one last piece of the puzzle to sort out which I am finishing now, and a door chain to rig up an Ohld Vart holster rig and I'm calling this primary blaster finished.

For paint, I'm thinking mostly flat black with a silver drybrush for wear.  I'm thinking all black will be too boring, so I may add some matte olive in the tradition of the Glocks [yes, I know that is a 1911 in the picture but you get the idea]

Scopey thingy off for the moment but will return.  "gas piston" type thingy designed and installed

[Dresdon Acacin]

Ooo pretty

Back in Black



Very hard to photograph wet matte black paint on an overcast day but this is a decent shot.  When it is dry I'll clearcoat it and let that cure till tomorrow, then mask it off and do the OD portions.  The a wash on the OD just like the plates and silver drybrush the black and I'll call it done.

That is a very nice blaster, Zophar, it just has to be said!
