Hi all, Been away for a while as I've been busy with work, but I'm on hols for xmas now and I've knocked this together over the last few days. It's a 1:1 scale Smith and Wesson Model 19 .357 Magnum revolver with a four inch barrel, identical to the one I used to own when such a thing was still allowed. It's a plastic kit painted with Alclad Gun Metal and a coat of Johnson's over the top to give it that gloss shine of blued metal, and the sights and sight rail are matt black as per the original. The trigger and hammer on the real thing are case hardened, which leaves a lovely blue/red/brown staining effect on the surface. I tried to replicate this with various Alclads and Tamiya clear blue and red. You be the judge of whether it looks like metal. The rounds in the photos are real but inert, and the walnut grips are the originals from my old gun. Happy days... Here's the main views then: Needs some ammo: Swing out the cylinder on its crane: And slot in the rounds: JSP's...mmm... Personally, I'm quite pleased with the effect: Here's the case hardening on the hammer: And the trigger: As they used to say at the gun club - "It'd get you shot...": Now, what's next...? Cheers, Dean
