Hi all!
A couple of days ago I finished my Jmtwo resin Jayne pistol. It was a really nice kit! Prep was pretty standard; filled the odd pinhole here and there, sanded a couple of pour stubs, and washed the parts.
I used the pics from the Official Companion Vol. 2 for reference. It looked like the main body of the LeMat was a dark blued steel, with some silver edge wear. I used Duplicolor auto paints to try to get that finish. I used Gloss "Universal Black" #DS100, and "Twilight Blue" #DSFM294. First I painted a base coat of black, then went back and misted the dark metallic blue over that. I checked it in sunlight, and anywhere that appeared a little too blue, I misted over it again with the gloss black.
I like Duplicolor paints. They dry to a very hard, durable finish.
I then dry brushed some Floquil Bright Silver onto most of the edges to simulate the worn finish.
Here are a couple of overall shots of the pistol, the first without flash, the second with flash.
For the bare metal add-on components, I sprayed on some Testors Metalizer in Magnesium #1453. Once it was dry, I buffed it as much as I could.
The grips were masked and brush painted with a Tamiya beige color. I then misted some Design Master "Walnut Wood Tone" over that. The grips were then sealed with Tamiya Clear.
To simulate the case-hardening on the trigger and hammer, I kind of marbled them with a mixture of silver, copper, and a medium blue. I just kept going back with each color until it was unevenly blended.
So that's pretty much it! I still have to find a small sphere to add to the end of the ramrod, and some kind of ring for the butt.
I was surprised how big this old revolver is! It's almost the same size as my resin Mal pistol, and will look really cool on display next to it.
Thanks for looking!
