Completed my Lewis gun ANH blaster today. Started out as a solid hyperfirm rubber casting that was in terrible shape, and five years and many machined, real, and printed parts later it is done. I've yet to see anyone complete one with accurate details.
Has a satin black and graphite powder/satin clear paintjob that almost looks like steel, and the stock was painted with Sidewinder's technique using brown paint and brown and black inks.
Notice the extensive use of Transcriptor tonearm parts on the barrel and the coiled black cable where most people are placing a bizzare looking greeblie as a sight that I have no idea where it came from. Most of the added parts are original vintage, only two Transcriptor headshell sockets are resin casts, the rest are real and cost me around £250 each. That's obsession.
Shout out to
OdiWan72 for helping identify some of the parts, Rob Taylor for machining work,
Sidewinder for the paint advice, and
gonk27 for the engraving. Hope I haven't missed anyone.*
*and
trooper for handling shipping for me.
Oops! Forgot to paint the bolt aluminium this time (it has been painted before).
