Heres something I should have never have started but now that is done I'm very happy with it. Bought a FE standard issue with the chrome finish to save money and then couldn't stand the chrome. About 2 years ago I sandblasted all the chrome off and got discouraged at the work involved and put it in a box. Couple weeks ago I dug it out and then sanded, sanded, sanded, sanded, polished, polished, polished, sanded, polished until I got this. WAY better, and now matches my noisy crickets finish. Fingers hurt though.

Bet you wished you just bought the exclusive non-chrome version. Lol.
This looks great tho! Almost like chrome... [emoji12][emoji23]

I did regret it while I was doing it but now that its done I'm glad I didn't buy the EE. I was able to correct a few things like the super loose and sloppy side knob. Also I wanted to add the second top allen screw. Oh and another thing I wanted to do is contour the trigger guard. Most of the real props were contoured, the only one I have seen not was one that went to auction where it was just flat. . All the ones that I have seen in Rick Gamez' pics from when he made them had the contour. I'm just glad its done. Tired of seeing it in pieces in a Ziploc.
Just about finished with my Space Marine Chainsword. Need to break out the airbrush and finish up the weathering, but otherwise it's pretty much there.
