Ok…
Facing the possibility of not much new stock, its a case of “what can be done, with what we have.?”
The KELe Tti G34 caught my eye…
Not a stellar performer, but a decent model, with good finishing…
Detail on the model is good, but a few things need attention.
1: the white stenciling is just printed on, and will rub off quickly.
2: Outer barrel is black…needs to be brass coloured…
Comparo with tactoys 3dg special…
Outer barrel is good on that one…

First, sort out the stenciing.
Cover with masking tape, and spray with ts-80 Flat clear…
A couple of quick coats, and it has come up well.
The silver is the inner barrel.
If all else fails, and final finish is crap, i’ll just go for straight silver…

I unscrewed the outer barrel, and gave it a few coats.
The closest rattlecan colour i could find, was Tamiya TS-46 Light Sand.
I left the black on, and gave it a few coats.
Not the best colour match, but the best available.
50 Shades of brass…??!
At the end of the day, its not a primary colour, and also recessed / hidden within the slide.
As long as it looks reasonable, it should be ok.
To try to match the metallic shine, i gave it a top coat of Semi Gloss Clear…
It looks…acceptable…
It certainly looks " Good enough", if you are not comparing the 2, and just look at it in isolation.
I may give it another coat of gloss, to get it popping…
The real test will be, “Does the Slide Scuff it.??”
The screwed in position, seems to keep the barrel completely clear of the slide, while racking.
I’ll let it dry overnight, and find out 2morrow.

If it rubs…i’ll go back to polished silver metal.
The inner barrel gives a preview of that, and it looks good.
So, all in all, if you want a budget Wick blaster, this aint a bad way of getting one…
T.B.C …

I just wish KELe released a HK VP-70, before the gates closed…
Errrrr… maybe this for your barrel, Beemer?
Get a sausage & onion while you’re at it.
Or if you really want to stick with Tamiya…

its a tough one…
looking at the taccies in the flesh, its more " brass" than “gold”…
But, Tamiya is cheap, cant hurt to give it a try…
Also…barrel clears the slide…no touching…no marking…
Impatient much.?.?

I wonder…
if “Rolex Gold”, is a rattlecan colour…??
$43 9721.00 per can…
And a 2 year wait…!!
Maybe Sig Sauer should partner up, with rolex…
create a all gold, Rolex-Sig P320…
trump’s secret service could use them…
shoot themselves in the foot, more than he does…!!

Ok… KELe redone, in Tamiya TS21 Gold, and TS 65 pearl clear ( glossy)
It does look better in gold…the 3DG finish was tarnished brass, and i was trying to replicate that…gold looks better…
All in all, good finish and result.
The pistol performance is woeful… 130 fps and shatters a few gels as well.
But, a cheapy John Wick knock off, that can be easily improved upon…

Never heard of this KeLe brand before, but hey as long as it works. Great work though.

I can only assume its another chinese brand.
Cheaper models.
Good for quiet backyard plinking / collectable models, that are cheap.
They can be slightly modded ( spaced spring), to around 180-200 fps.
My " Wesker Build", is a KELe…with a cerakoted slide…
The cerakoting cost more, than the blaster…!!

Having got some gold paint left over, and trying to put it to good use,
I decided to go " Full Gold", on the Tti, as per other models…
(reference pic)
my frame is currently black, around the ejection port.
It is a bit risky, the slide is a bit wobbly, and may contact the painted area, upon racking.
However, the black frame area only has very light scuffing on it, so it should be “Mostly OK”…
Pulled apart, taped up, and painted…
The gold really does highlight the lettering…it was nearly invisible before, on the black.
Let it dry overnight, coat of clear, and see how it goes…

I did “round 1”.
got it in…but the paint got a bit scuffed, getting it into place.
two opposing springs, and all that…and maybe paint was still a bit soft.
Once its in , it seems to be clear of the slide.
So, pulled its been pulled down again, and another touch up coat.
Hopefully the tape will protect the paint from scuffing going in.
It was always going to be a bit risky, in a moving area…lets see how it goes this time…

All done.
The secret to getting the block back in, unscathed, is the masking tape cover.
A bit of jiggery pokery required, but no scratching this time…
It all came up quite well…
Outside shot is a bit glare-y…
Ive cycled it around 20-30 times.
No signs of contact or wear from the newly painted block, around the ejection port.
The slide doesn’t seem to contact it.
A very slight contact line, on the under side of the outer barrel…
But thats right at the bottom of the barrel, and cant really be seen…
Good result…!!
Good cheap knock off, if John Wick is your thing…!!
Just give me a pencil, to sign off on it…

Looking good there beemer.
Where were you yesterday. Instead of being goldfinger with a bit of overspray you could of give me a hand.
Bang couple of Aussie shearers and you’d even get $400 in your pocket finished by 4pm. I got wicky wid it yesterday but I was fkd and had to stretch the ole back out around 6pm. I told the top notch shearers, now listen here, call me old again. Cheeky buggers.
Held up by rain atm finally. But the contractors are all stop as the farmers are a bit hap hazzard when weather is coming, get them out of it in your shearing shed. Can’t shear wet sheep. Doing 105 ish every run 2hrs. It’s hard work for sure. Oh well lets you know all your body parts are still attached
I didn’t thread drift as I said wicky wid it
