E PACK dress bayonet

[panzerjaeger44]

i have some modellors scratch pads that are like an abrasive fronted sponge with an ultra fine grit ill pop it in a ziplock for a few days with some oven cleaner and if im lucky that old trick will strip all the crap off then ill use the pad and keep her nice n smooth after that its paint time my next question is still the finish should it be matt satin or gloss if its satin or gloss i can paint it with acrylic and treat with johnsons clear?future never remeber what its called where and itll protect and laquer it , if its matt i have some high grade acrylic matt varnish i can irbrush on but id like to get the finish one properly obviously , looking forward to paintign that stahlhelm rsin minature crazy sp

ya def. a long dress bayo then! Im not sure what to use for paint, but let me know what u did. I would like to hear or see your opinions when you are done of what paint is best to use. Thanks and good luck. your idea of getting the old paint off will turn out alot better than mine looks, i can promise you that. ha

yeah, I love my 5 or 6 k98 bayo's, all bakelite handles, half of them matching #'s , then I have 9 or 10, can't remember - m-4's for my m-1 carbine & 3 japanese bayo's, but one is for parts, got screwed on it, they took a dremel tool to it to shine it up, then took crap pic's, oh well, I needed the handles for my rare one made in china. , but I figured Panzer had to leave his stuff to move here, so like I said, I don't mind helping a war comrade & bro. cya later. take care.

Thats genuinely nice of you panzer 44. I appreciate that offer. So you do modeling work huh?? I just finished a Panther tank myself. I'm not good at it and to be honest it was my first tank. but i did a camo paint theme and it came out alright. It's in my profile picture album if you decide you want to have a laugh for yourself! haha I'm going to check out your stuff. is it in your profile or sumthin? thanks again for the offer man, I will definitely keep that in mind if I decide to do mine too.

Hey PJ44, Yeah strip it back, you never know you might reveal the original paint underneath and if need be just do some touch up work, like to see it afterwards, regards dave
