Hi all, I've always liked the old .303 - we had one down the gun club, and at 25 yards you could make one ragged hole in the target with five rounds. I even bought some vintage ammo, dug out of a container sealed in 1951, which was green all over with verdigris. Still went bang most satisfactorily though... After my long winded Attacker, I fancied something quick to follow up. I went to the stash and dug out the Dragon 1/6 Lee Enfield No4 rifle, as I'd recently bought a Lifecolor Guns and Weapons paint set and was keen to try it out. In the end, all I used was the dark wood colour for the stock, as all the metallics looked like shiny silver to me, and that's not what I was going for on this build. The wood effect was done with oils, the metallic parts are Tamiya NATO Black given a rub over to bring up the sheen. Hope you like it. I was quite pleased with how the wood grain turned out: The bolt does actually work, but it'll only scratch the paint if I do, so I'll leave it cocked and loaded: It comes with a couple of magazines and loads of spare ammo clips. I just did two: Now, what's next...? Dean
