Default Re: Wilco Models Prop offer

Since I haven't built a Wilco version of the pistol yet, I can't vouch for how easy it will be. However I've built three other versions based on these same molds and I can say that it varies in difficulty based on how well it is cast and the resin itself. That said, the other kits from Wilco I have built have been an absolute dream. Thin flashing without a whole lot of air bubbles.

The biggest pain for me on my original laser was the groove between the grips. There were some problem areas in there I had to work at with a small file. That and making sure the emitter cap is straight! That was the most time consuming part of the whole thing.

I recommend going with automotive paint. It has just the right amount of shine to it. Not a whole lot, but not totally flat.
