Antiqued Colt Revolver

[Jerr]

I was following a tutorial trying to make a metallic preset for pewter. It didn’t come out much like pewter but reminded me of some of the old collector Colt’s I’ve seen. I had made a smaller one of these previously from the left side but used mostly photographic textures for the presets and didn’t spend a lot of time on it. Most of the frame contouring is soft edge selection on the frame, covert to object, tweak brightness/ contrast/ transparency. This always seems to work better for me than the retouch tools.
