Thanks, everyone, for the positive feedback!
Updated first post: Final Sanding of the Shroud: 01.11.2011 - 1 Hours
With exception to the etched detail line that runs around the shroud, I'm calling this one finished.
Tomorrow I will hopefully finished sanding the ridge I built on the inside of the eyeholes that I plan on attached velcro to, so that I can flip out the lenses from time to time. Next, I will use "Death In a Can" on the inside and then priming the outside. Who knows, I may actually have this painted by Sunday...

I like it Brad...good job. I'd like to see pics if you get around to coating the inside.

Casey (biohunter76) sells the kit that completes the Bio. He also sells prewired lasers. If you want to go LED, then PM Jason. I ordered the super bright red ones. They should be here within the next two weeks (Fingers crossed)...
I filled in both those areas this evening with the putty.

Updated first post: Another Round of Putty To The Shroud & Eyes: 1.13.2010 - 3 Hour
Initially, I was going to grind down the center post of Casey's laser plate. However, after having another look at the film used laser, I have decided it is accurate and only needs, perhaps, a rounding of the edge. It would appear, at least to me, that this is another example of artistic license that Steve Wang took when sculpting the cinemaquette version...

I'm impressed. That looks good...both inside and out. Have you noticed the putty adding more weight? Thats the only downside really...

Thanks, J, most appreciated. I think I have some unconscience desire to be able to claim the most time spent on the INSIDE of a bio. I may even felt it to add more time to the project,
Funny, I was thinking about the weight issue this afternoon. Yeah, it feels heavier but as to how much heavier, I have no idea. Now, mind you, I have sanded off quite a bit of what I've put on, but I am on my sixth stick of KwikPlastik. I'd be interested to have someone else weigh theres and get back to me with a "base weight" (George?). I will gleefully take mine into a Bed Bath & Beyond upon completion and use one of their floor model kitchen scales (I think they sell them?) to get a better answer,

Updated First Post: Yet More Sanding of the Shroud: 01.14.2011 - 4 Hours
Also added: Laser Shroud & Air Tube References
The little bit of grey, in the shape of the number 7, is all that remains of the orginal shroud. I have sucessfully sanded the rest of it into dust. The latest round of putty is currently drying. I'm still not happy. Alas...

Thanks for the feedback, Stephen. I like to document my projects, whatever they are, in case I need to reference them in the future. It's not that much more work to post them here so as to help other Lair members and keep them from making the same mistakes I have made, lol...
