Anybody ever got one of these? Traditions "build it yourself"

>Tips?

Measure twice, cut once. It's much easier to make sure what you're doing is done right than correcting mistakes where you fucked up because you were too hasty or tried to improvise.

Absolutely, thanks anon. Both my parents are big into woodworking so I've got a pretty good handle on that side of things.

Actually what would be awesome is just some video instructions that just show them assembling and fitting everything together. All I can find are videos where people are showing off the progress of their current builds rather than just simple "Here's what to do, here's how you do it."

If you want to give the exposed steel parts (like the barrel) a nice patina, rub it with lemon juice or Coke overnight. It'll etch the steel and turn it a nice dark grey. It's the first thing every black powder reenactor does with their knives and locks and stuff.

You're in good hands then.

Didn't the beast come with instructions?

There should be videos on YT. Maybe there is such a gun in World of Guns on Steam, where you can assemble all kinds of firearms.

You should learn along the way and start said youtube channel. Be the meme, anon.

I was actually thinking of just bluing or browning the barrel. Before I do anything, I have to remove the writing on the barrel. There is a big "always follow clearly all written instructions when using blackpowder, never use smokeless powder blagh blagh blagh" on the barrel. Thank god it's raised lettering rather than engraved so I can just file it off later. Not really looking to be a reenactor or anything, just saw the kit for $200 bucks and thought it looked like a cool project.
It did come with instructions but I like to watch other people do it too.

I would love to do this but between 7 different armies spread among 3 different miniature wargames and lots and lots of guns, I just can't afford recording equipment on top of all that :(

>>34779905
damn that looks fun.

Let us know if/how you fuck it up anon?
