Custom KSC Glock 18c
 

Ive just finished applying some custom touches to my KSC glock today. Its been a work in progress over the past few days and my fingers are killing due to all the sanding and polishing. I done this by using various high grade sand papers for an hour a piece and then polished to a shine using a dry cloth and steel wool. If you have the patience you can just use a dry cloth and polish the barrel once the paint is off for hours on end to get a perfect mirror shine. To add a protective coating to prevent any oxidization I simply used a thin layer of car wax (not colour protector as this may make the finish dark). Id like to get some feedback on this so tell me what you think. Just PM me with any comments or tips as this is my first attempt at a custom finish.

This is the compression block during final stages of polishing.

The slide grips during paint removal. I originally wasnt going to add these but I thought if I did it would keep the two tone scheme symetrical.

I also added some chrome boarders to the magazines and brought out the glock logo by simply sanding the paint away

Looks good man. I really like the two-tone.

:nod:

Thanks a lot man, glad you like it. Have you ever done any custom jobs on any of your arms?

Nah. Waiting on a second M4 Body. Gonna do some painting on that though.

I did paint a cheap clearsoft shotty to test out some stencils. And luckily got some good advice from the people here as to what I did wrong. Great community!

ahh cool man. Its good to experiment before you do anything to a major piece. And i got a lot of tips from the stuff ive read on these forums. Very helpfull and it is a good community.

Heres a few angles of my trades that ive just finished engraving. They were originally quite dull and fading so i carved out the ink and softend the look of them with a little steel wool so they now reflect light. And they sit around 1.5 millimeters into the slide and they look much better.

Wow, this is the first time I've heard of someone engraving trades on their gun. Great job. I assume you used some kind of computer-controlled engraving machine?

:D What's cooking in the microwave!? :D

can I say fucking hawt?! :D
I'm loving that two-tone scheme you did!

No computer. Just an extremely thin phillips screwdriver set ( the interchangable socket head sets) and an allen key,or hex key if your american. The smallest size you can get. Along with a steady hand and patience. It was a little pain staking but just look at the result.

Haha, Our helen was doing a jacket potato actually.

Thanks a lot dontask. Im still working on it, cleaning up some parts and adding a few minor details so check back ill have some updated pictures for you all soon.
