Cleric Sidearms completed...

Big thanks to Matsuo for offering these. There was some minor clean-up around the seam-lines, & filling of a few (VERY few) tiny air-bubbles. Since the replicas were made from black resin, most (if not all) of the painting on these were to provide weathering & some other detals. The finish comes from wet-sanding followed by application of black-colored car polish.

Anyway - - - not without incident:













Equilibrium is one of my favorite "frequent watch" films. :cool :cool :cool

How did you fill in the letters on the mag plate?

The back end of a White Crayola crayon. I just rubbed it in all different directions until coverage in the lettering was consistent, wiped off the excess with a paper towel, then sealed it with some Future floor polish.

No, the guns are constructed from black resin. All I did was wet-sand using 600 - 800 grit sandpaper, then apply several coats of black Turtle Wax car polish to the whole thing(s) to get a nice consistent color that is sort of glossy (in certain spots). Afterward I hit the rub-points with a VERY light touch of silver rub'n'buff to give it a more convincing illusion of metal construction.

I got the aluminum-powdered version, that's why I was a little confused... :lol

PM Matsuo. Last I heard, he wasn't offering them; but he could have started making them again & I just don't know about it...

Can't hurt to ask him...
