Not much to update...
I've been working on Threepio's chest and torso. Lots of parts on the chest, lots of dremelling, lots of filling, lots of sanding...
I did apply some paint to it last night and this mroning. I dunno..that paint from the UK is GREAT looking, but thin coats leave a texture..and when you spray more..it really smooths out and looks great so when I did that this morning it ran all over. I just hope when it dries it won't be too bad and another coat of paint over top will hide the runs. DAMN.
I also have the belly wires all in place..I took a plastic carpet and painted some lines on it for wires, then added a bunch of random wires on top of that. I attached it into the body with velcro.

That Gold paint you used is better than the stuff I've seen here.
It has a much better shine to it.
Now the gold/silver paint we have here is very hard to paint. It must be painted very lighly and it runs very easy.
When I did Brenda's dome ring, I had to be very careful with the coats and it came out very shiney, But after masking for the green area. It got some masking tape texture to it, But it looks better this way. It looks more like metal that has different shades to it.
Can't wait for the pics!!!

Yeah..it has a masking tape kind of texture..but the parts that get more paint are3 SMOOOTH and look like real metal...but ther eis the risk of running
Tonight I tried to press the bubbles down and am repainting coat after coat.
Man..the last major piece and I screw it up... damn!
PIcs will come soon!
