Here's some pictures of my Lyman GPR (.54) "in white". I inlayed the cheek piece with a hunter's star that I cut from German Silver. The star is acented at the NE'ly, SE'ly, SW'ly and NW'ly points with Brass wire. The walnut stock was filled with black artists oil paint, then stained with 2 coats Laurel Mtn. Cherry and 1 coat Laurel Mtn. Lancaster Maple. To date I have 5 coats of boiled linseed oil. Next is the metal. I'm still trying to decide whether to brown the steel furniture and barrel or to go with a "French Grey" patina. I'm experimenting with some suggestions from this group.
