Sanded, wet sanded, and primered it again. Is it good enough to proceed with paint?




I will wait to hear from the approval team before I move forward on painting.

Also I found this 1” glass bead at Hobby Lobby, painted the backside and it fits perfectly in the scope. Going to mount it after painting it.




I’ll post more as I get it done! Have a great day Vode!!!

Awesome idea with the scope bead!

The only place I'm still seeing visible lines is near the hex bolt on the scope mount in the first pic -- but as long as you're careful with weathering there, I think you'll be okay :)  Good work!

Thanks Vode!
I used a Hammered black on the main part of the frame this time, gives it a “pitted” sort of look.



Here we are with Mk. II hand cannon Thanks for looking, have a great day Vode!

Thanks Vode for all the encouragement! I haven’t updated in a while soooo this may be a little pic heavy.














Sorry it was so much Vode, but want some input, still lots left to do and paint and weather and on and on and on.... :P

Getting close to the end of things, hope to have things ready for OM pics before the year is out. Let me know what you think. Have a great day!

I will say this. Your work is pretty stellar. You seem to be progressing well and pretty quickly as well. I've been building mine now for about a year and half.  You are motivated.

Thanks Vode! Still at it and wanted to post some progress pics.

Painted and weathered some more plates:






Weathered the side cape:



Adding some trauma plates:

Going to add these to cover the gap between plates, plus it adds a layer to the kit.




Still plenty to do and finish but making some headway. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Thank You Vod! I appreciate all of the input and encouragement! I made some more headway today, really getting ready to wrap this thing up and it’s a very interesting feeling seeing the vision I had come to life. Anyway here’s what we have....

Paint on the front plates, still need to black wash and rust the plates, but it’s starting to take shape. I just slapped them on the vest (pretty crooked)   :P






Then started on the backplate:






Still have to pull off the latex on the yellow, black wash and rust but it’s coming along nicely!

All latex pulled off:
