Still alive, haven't been able to work on this kit as much as the weather for painting isn't very ideal and work keeping me busy For what I was able to paint for the chest, I started over a bit as (probably my fault) the lines on the wings of the chest got filled in too much with paint which can bar...

Ran out of Red Paint so started 2K Clear Coating the parts I finished painting, as always 2K comes out beautifully

More painting but ran out... 6 cans of Dupi Color was not enough and waiting for the next shipment Have the Shins, Chest, and Helmet left https://i.imgur.com/EDHr5wr.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/kWLsU1u.jpeg Paint I've been using/planning to use.

Small update Cold weather has been making it really difficult to do anything (15F at the moment) and with all the snow emergencies I wanted to save all my propane I use to heat my workspace in case of an emergency Decided to stick with a white primer to lay the Red over, only done the base coat so f...

Spats Cont.

Back to the Spats for a bit. Going to do what I did for my FOTK as the Spats don't naturally want to close without some tension wanting to pull it out. Did a hot water bath on the Spats to bend them a bit so they will settle where I want them to be https://i.imgur.com/GkRX7tE.jpeg Before the Hot Wat...

Don't have a ton to add as the weather has been either rainy or too cold to do anything Guess I was too conservative with the superglue as the forearm greeblie is lifting on the edges after flexing it a bit to test it. Went back and re glued and sanded to fix this. https://i.imgur.com/WCDBKld.jpeg h...

Back messing around as I don't have much to update Decided to test different colors for the primer for the Red I'll be using I plan on using dupli color cardinal red for the base coat. The primer coats are rust-oleum colors I have on hand. I tested a White, Black, and Gray https://i.imgur.com/ZXhBt9...

Slow update as I'm back to work and have a con to goto this weekend, fixed up the forearms with body filler and filler spray. Almost done with them

Quick Update, fixed the issue with the cracking on the Yolk/Back. Issue being there was a "air pocket" where glue/abs paste didn't get into support the body filler above it. Cleaned out the problem area then filled it with JB Plastic Weld and sanded it down. No more cracking https://i.imgu...
