Ah okay. I was wondering if someone was 3d printing k-frames as I remember it might've been apoc4lypse that did something before.

[JeeperCreeper]

It's just a printed one for demo purposes

[binson]

Where did this k- frame come from?

Riot, it's finally happening! Don't worry, it won't stay this shiny.

Neato, slip that right in my pocket protector
Seriously though, that's pretty fun.

JeepDVLZ45 said he wanted a "pen clip" so he doesn't need a holster. I think I nailed it.

Another detent done, but more on the list still.

I might beadblast my Hurc build and send it your way this winter - got a nice big blast cabinet at work I can use - if you'd like to experiment a bit.

We'll talk. 😉

Oh that thing is sick!

Still hard to see the colors, but in person it looks wild.

So far I've been starting with a polished surface. I would love to give a media blasted surface a try. If air compressors capable of running a media blasting cabinet werent so expensive, I'd have one here to try.

As for this finish, I'm still in the testing phase, but it's coated with laquer currently. It's not the most durable finish yet, but I'm hoping having 4 coats keeps it nice for a while.

I might be sending some things your way for plating... very impressive.

Does polished vs matte base surface affect anything? I know PPS used to blast everything before plating to get that quintessential look.

Dayummmmmmm

It's hard to capture the color now. I applied laquer and it darkened it up quite a bit. It has a color shift Mystic Purple Mustang kind of vibe now.

This is a chplnstone build, I just added a detent and the colorful finish. Enjoy packersrule729

It definitely needs a top coat, I'm still testing laquers.
