I did this one about 2 years ago. I sanded it down and took off some parts here and there and just repainted it, and tried to give it a battle damaged, rusty look. Yes, I made the face plate out of my infamous watercolor paper! hey, the stuff works good..it's heavy stock and I didn't know about apoxie stuff. the clay I used to use would become brittle and crack.....see, Asorbing Man!
