Thanks guys, the flintlock pistol was jut a whim, I don't really have anything in mind for it, it was just sort of a proof of concept thing (too see if I could do it). I just looked at this site http://www.redriverrenegades.com/bp_pistols%20&%20revolvers.htm
And started to carve a body out of plastic. The brass workings are just pieces of PE brass sprue hacked up with clippers. Maybe I will make more of these, I dunno, I don't really have too much of a need for these, as I still have several flintlock pistols left from ole Empire or Mordheim bitz.

HAHA, I guess so, that was actually the second one, for the first, I tried to carve the butt cap in the handle of one of the more ornate models, but that work proved to be too small with an x-acto, I sliced my thumb a bit , and I got the angle of the handle wrong, because I was trying to do it in two parts.


As you can see, the brass lock is a bit fiddly to file too, very small, and I broke it in half. I need to find a better/easier way of making the lock/hammer.
But it was fun. The shotgun is a much easier gun to make than this.

how about the use of a dremel for this kind of work? i bet you could make good way with such a tool... this looks like milling work all over...


oh...and because someone has to say it...:

THe dremel would certainly work vik, but it is more of a problem with planning it out so that you have a solid way of holding the piece securely while you are working on it. My little bench vise is really too big for this kind of work, I need something like needle nose pliers that lock or could be tightened to hold firm. That brass sprue is super thin stuff. I would need to carve out the curvature from a solid piece while holding onto somethig solid. In time, I'm sure I will play with it more.

For steampunk vik, wouldn't you rather have WW1-type Vickers water-cooled machine guns? That should be easily creatable with the tubes I sent you

And you see, I have only painted a thin flesh coat on, the rest is just a wash- I do this on models (and let them dry) so that I can easily see where the recesses are and paint shade color there.

Dammit, I have now come down with a nasty cold. The Shammy is 1/2 done, only the Gang Leader completely unpainted yet. After these, it is just a matter of basing and touching them up. Sooo close to having my first ever full real GW gang painted too. It's about time, I've used Catachans a Orlocks for what, 10 years now
