DEC ANH Hero Blaster Kit Builds

Around the edges of the piece, take the doughnuts off the sight, sharpen the knurled sections, file seam lines down flush, thin the trigger out.
I don't think hobby stores sell it, but more gun shops do. I order online unless i'm in a pinch.

The best tip is to have a reference pic of a real Mauser and then mimmick that and adjust where you see it's off. Some parts to be specific is the beveled area right befor where the barrel starts, all of the "top" of the gun, remove sight and sand away until you have a 90 degree (sharp) rather than the 'melted ice-cream'-look. In short, it doesn't hurt to do it everywhere, depends on how frantic you are. But I assure you it will do tons of difference.

I finally built my denix/DEC blaster!
It was a fun build! The finish is a combination of aluminium black and glossy black paint. The weathering was really fun. The toxic fumes from the aluminium black were a little scary
I also build my own stand with laser engraving and laser cut acrylic parts.
And I presented it last weekend at the FACTS comic con in Ghent, Belgium, where I was part of the RPF stand with fellow RPF members. It was awesome!

Excellent job!
Really love that base!

Gonna bump this thread because I've been having some issues lately re-bluing an area on the upper of my Denix.
I repeated the same steps I did before when I first put the thing together (sand down finish, then buff with steel wool, lightly heat the surface, apply bluing) but now, rather than getting dark, it gets only as dark as say a tarnished steel. It's not exactly getting as blue as I'd hope.
Any help would surely be appreciated!

I don't think the aluminum will "blue" like that, it probably will be more dark/black
I'm re-bluing a side of the Denix upper, which is pewter (zamack, I think it's called) and for the life of me I can't figure why the Super-Blue isn't taking. AB won't do anything to this.
Oh sorry, but I think might be the same anyway because it's not ferrous,
I didn't realize they were pewter, when I was cutting them it seemed like Zinc.
Still clogged the tools because the chips like to stick even with coolant

It's strange to me because when I worked on the Mystery Disc, it took to it beautifully at the start and it darkened to match the rest of the original Denix "bluing". I think I may have to change my technique or something.
Then it looks like you have to sand a lot more down to get to virgin material
There surface layers are probably contaminated.
