You guys continue to amaze. Where were you in 1982 when I first needed you? :lol:

Here are some new pictures of one of the now fully completed and painted spanners. They're sprayed gunmetal to give them that oxidized steel look, and then drybrushed with steel colored paint on the edges to show wear and across the surface for scratches. The effect is really great and these things really look like a well-used metal tool.

Still waiting on the leather pouch for the spanner/wrench but the first one has been done up so I expect to have it dyed and weathered within the week. I'll post pictures of the completed item in its own thread soon and this "coming soon" thread can be retired because we'll be ready to take orders. Hopefully for the shoulder plate too.

Will do.
Karol and I are just really busy with Halloween coming up next weekend, so it will have to wait until after that. (I know I told you that already, but I'm just posting it here so everybody else knows about the delay.)
