Fantastic work!!
Cut my model making teeth doing spin casting of pewter and lead gift items and WWll, WWl waterline ship models. Created some of the brass ship models as well. ( looong time ago)
 
One note on the metal work: Do the fine sanding on the receiver in one direction so it looks machined. The little angular scratches detract from the illusion of a non-machined part. Polishing the metal with "machining marks" makes it look more real. After that, the weathering will be more convincing.

Very nice tip! I had never thought about sanding angles for some of my metal finishing. Also DaveChaos, you are doing some very clean work with the pulls from your molds! Serious props!!!
