Those OTT's are glorious!! Great info as well DR. Chop!

they are tough to do. The fmj is one of the worst coatings to work around. There was a little bit of flaking at the orbitals as seen in the last pic if you look real close. That is a problem since the fmj is what tends to peel and cause that issue.

Thanks for the words of praise!! Much appreciated. Just wait to see what I have working with this new chrome stuff. I will make a copper pair that will put all others to shame, hands down.

Can't wait to see them!! Pity about FMJ issues, but it seems like you have worked well around them!

My goal is to actually have a tattered and worn look. Yours look amazing, but my design is going in another direction.

good luck with whatever it is you are attempting. Just trying to help.

I very much appreciate it!

Once I get the pair I'm working on later this week and a couple rattle cans we'll see how it turns out. I can get some cloth buffs some work that will work nicely.

Dr chop your work is amazing. I am going to do costume work on a pair of Juliet's if I can score one cheap from eBay or Craigslist. I plan to anodized the frame blue if I can get the right acid.
