I had no luck to my tests with alclad varnish or the ak's gauzy agent!! Hope you like it!!

I think that, even if the photoes really dont show the real thing, the outcome is really nice. Here i worked with the different shading of the metal. As Duncan a.k.a. ''Sabrejet'' has pointed out many times, this shading is due to the different way of threatin
