Kato clone . Midnight edition Oooh pretty. I might have been tempted to either fill the letters in in a different colour or take them back to the ali. Nice. I likes it.

I like it all black dalealan . Nice and simple . To add another colour to the letters would be a right pain though masking it all off .

I blame Mev Woods nice but brass is nasty . too smelly and dirty . Hate machining the stuff too. Its a right job to clean all the chips up and they end up in your hair , up your nose and in your pants

The bairn got an m16 yesterday and I polished the brass up till it was nice n shiny. Within 15 mins it had dulled again. I was going to look into clear coat but meh it'll keep him busy

That's slightly larger than the 5L set up I have.. lol my latest mod is the first time i've tried Anodising, i've done quite a bit of reading up on it and on topic i've read it's possible to use wax on engraving to mask when anodising, have you tried this method ?

I started with a £2.99 tomato tray from wilkos and a car battrey charger. Out grew that quite quickly . Biggest problem you will come across with a small tank (apart from things not fitting in it) is the heat build up . Too warm and the pores get to big and won`t trap dye. Ive never tried wax but prep is the key to good anodising . Too much faffing trying to mask things off generally leads to a poor finish (for me anyway). I prep , scrub with washing up liquid then don`t touch it again and give it a few mins in caustic and a good rinse. Ive done a bit of splash anodising . for that I use nail varnish to mask the dyed bit then strip off the dye I don`t want with bleach and acid baths (don`t mix bleach with acid or you get chloride gas) then re dye with another colour . Works well
