Fellow member Accept contacted me about the Mars Attacks rifle I've been building (http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtop ... 43&t=26162). He was interested in a replica of a pistol from the same movie and was kind enough to send me a few reference pictures.

I spent the long weekend playing around and here's where things are so far...

My wife got me an airbrush for the holidays. I thought I'd take a stab at airbrushing one of the resin pistols.

Not having used an airbrush before I'm pretty happy with the results. For those out there who are "seasoned" with an airbrush I'd appreciate any tips you'd care to share.
