As with all my builds, I'll document as I work on things and add to the main post to keep things in one tidy spot for anyone following along. A lot of the information that I will be posting has already been shared in one of the threads above, so credit where credit is due.
Armor:
3D modeled buck that will be used to vacuum form a clear plastic to create armor.
Revolvers:
Ruger Vaquero with pearlized grips. Using Bruni Singola Azione blank firing replica as replacement. Will paint grips with pearlized paint.
