The handle is florists foam with a covering of polymer clay. I was experimenting with Sculpt Nouveau's metal paint (a water based paint with suspended metal particles) and used copper on the handle instead of a wood finish. I liked the effect so much (especially when a patina is added) i used an iron paint on the rest of the gun. Unlike paint this stuff rusts like real metal when you add a patina.... so the rusty looking bits are real rust ....on wood!! Highlights with silver paint.
