My Scared Stiff is in the works. Here is the lock bar and legs. It's taking longer because of the airbrushing. The idea here is making it look like slime is running out of the BB down the side rails ( being powder coated as we speak) across the lock bar. Also the legs look like slime will poring out of the bolt holes. I will blog about this one when its done. I have a few tricks that I would like to pass along. Oh and I'm not a professional and I don't have a business so my work isn't as good as a lot of you guys out there.

This TAFG #637 has 24 carat gold plating on the lock bar, side rails and legs.

Here is my MM. This one is powder coated gold trim with a few extras.

Should be a couple of days yet on rails. Had another set of body armor done at the same time.

As you have presumed I'm airbrushing over the powder coating and then clear coating the entire piece with acrylic clear. Since I'm not a professional artist, I'm drawing and masking the slime. Then I go back and use a paint marker and draw in the detail. Then clear coat the entire piece. In other words I Cheat!

Finished the Scared Stiff. The side rails are Stern and just clip on top of the originals. That's so I can take them off with no harm done to the originals. I was surprised on how tight they fit and how they match the pinblades decals.

They wedge in between the BB hinge and the original side rail at the top, and the are held firm on the bottom by the lockbar. They really look like they belong and you can powder coat any color and never change the original side rails. Jut use a small piece of two sided tape underneath to hold them in place when removing the lockbar.

I guess some have said a little to carried away with the gold but I like it.
