I had some help from the SO today - we used red testors and rustoleum satin black to paint on some details. from the 3-4 pictures out there, we used the one with the most detail. I think the black part near the rear on the right side was just flaked off paint but I liked the dark surrounding the red.

I am restarting this project with some new scuba guns! And eethan made the kit. He specially made some gears for me that match my reference.
I lost the triggers for… at least 6 months. My life went to pieces and they got lost in the scuffle, I finally found them and re-worked the trigger to work without the air canister.
I broke a 4-40 tap again. I tapped the m2.5 threaded trigger thingy for 4-40 because I just have those screws.. but then tapping the plastic was too much, SNAP
So I used a wood screw into the trigger rod hole.
The spring? From a TC-67 cassette recorder used in ESB!
I also made the full sized greeblie from esb, and I have casts available of my quick scratch build, for what it’s worth.

Halliwax had said that the humidity/moisture in the air is a big factor in curing anything. If you’re in dry air, should be within a week!!!
I really want to add some little set screws for the front sight and tube, I just enjoy doing that lol
Ahah sorry, it's dry already, I just meant this is the first thing I had the time to do in 6 months and now it's already been more than three days that I haven't touched it again!
I hope your project will go faster
