Took 8 months, but it's done. First attempt at this, next up is a Pedersoli flintlock. This Lyman was a nice kit but the lock assembly needed a lot of work, it's smooth as butter now. I polished all the metal cause i could not get a cold blue finish i liked, going to try the express blue 4V50 Gary used on his traditions kit when i do the flintlock
Blood red dye/stain mixed with sanding sealer, 4 coats of dye mixed with clear gloss lacquer, 5 coats of clear gloss lacquer and lots of wet sanding and steel wool between coats, Final polish was with Mothers billet polish and 3 coats of carnuba wax.
