My 2nd Omega : A white dress for a chrome lady.

[Gunsmith Fiamma]

After turning my 1st omega I was very troubled in wich dress to give to the 2nd one.
I had this blank laying arround, but it was too small, 16x16 is really small for such large tubes..... As if!!!
I drilled the cap blank in surgical manner using the lowest speed possible, and cooling it with cutting oil.
I painted the tubes with light gray paint and painted the inside of the blanks in white pearl acrylic paint.
This is the result:


Next time will get some larger blanks, because this one was really risky .

I like the result and, I must admit that the chrome kit is the best of all the finish offered.
Next sunday i will turn the rest of the batch.

Cheers
Francesco

It's a beauty, you only have to believe there is enough room to drill, better than wasting all the extra.
