Alright time for a big ol image dump.
Got the shoulders printed and I've been working on getting them smooth. I start with a rough sanding of the print, then a thick layer of filler primer. Then another quick sanding round and another thick coat of filler primer. Used some glazing putty around the edges were the supports left some gaps, then hit with normal black primer, another round of sanding, then grey primer. I'll tweak a few spots and give it another round of sandpaper before I start the actual paint but I'm pretty happy with it.






While I was working on the shoulders, I also put some work into the handplates. Since they're smaller they didn't need as much time to fill. Hit with one round of filler primer, sanded, then normal primer, base colors, and weathering. I like to bang up the base payer of paint and put a few divets in pre weathering washes so the dirt has some good places to settle.




I also started the chest printing but the upper chest had an alignment issue and I got stuck with this weird gap. Likely from a bit of lifting from the build plate during printing. I'm going to reprint in a different orientation to try and correct it, as the models line up perfectly.

That's all for now!
