Hi Darthwoolf7! Sure I follow your thread, you have a great build too! We're waiting for new pics. 
Kroenen77, I would like to paint black only the parts that SHOULD be painted, and "blue" the rest. I have not been able to find blueing liquid in any stores in the city, so i'll probably have to order it by mail.
I have not been able to find any .44 special bullets locally as well :facepalm,so I guess i'll take my chances and order a few emptied shells from a store I found in UK. Here's the link: .44 Special Inert Round
In other news I've visited 5 diferent hardware stores and cant find the corect diameter of the allen key (hex key) for some of the smaller screws. It seems since the screws are from america the common local allen keys dont fit them. So the build is temporarily on hiatus.

I use a product called pewter black. It is not a true bluing but it does darken the pewter to look more like stainless steel.

Sorry about that; I had to offer those Allen keys, drill bits and taps when I was offering the propsummit LE kits for overseas kits.
Email me and I can send you a set of the Allen tools for just to cost of mailing them, $10.00.
The drill bits and taps are costly and I would have to charge for them.
Rich
Yes that is a big problem.The screw sizes are complete others like in europe.Its really impossible to become it in hardwarestores here.
So I bought all parts that Rich is using...the same drill bits,the same taps,a drill station like his one..I hope that I can build a very accurate kit with this tools.
That is a lot easyer,because I can use his drawing with the screws and taps-sizes.
@LukaFilm:You need 2 patinas.One for the pewter parts and one for the aluminium barrel.Pewter patina did not work on aluminium.

I think that would be a great offer for all from europe.The costs are higher..but I think its worth the extracash when you can buy it all together from you.

hmm, good idea Division6, thanks.. But I am planning of building a box for the blaster one day, and think 2-3 individual allen keys would be much better addition to the box. The multi peice tool would feel out of place. So there's an estetic factor to allen keys that must be met too.. haha :lol

Looking for advice on drill & tapping versus just drilling and forcing screw (given its pewter). I dont have a tap set and considering just drilling, but dont want weakened threads that may be easier to strip.
Thanks

I personally would use a tap. make's for a cleaner thread.

This is a great thread! I would love to know the steps you took in the sanding and polishing process. What grit(s), what cloth, etc.
thanks so much for sharing :thumbsup
