Well, I've got a Denix and not much else. Will be a bit of a long wait for the next round or parts from DEC (yes, that's ok!). So I'll be making this really crappy looking Denix look as close to real as I can for a while. Today, I started on the rear sight. Wow this metal is SOFT. Shaping goes very quickly except the files clog up fast.
The original Denix sight - button on the wrong side.
Rat Tail file to start shaping it correctly (I hope)
Getting close
Button on the sight with a big step on it.
File ridges deeper, file off the step from the mold, repeat.
Re-assembled sight. Doesn't that 50 look weird? May have to think about that.
