Thanks. I just used standard Colgate, in easy to squeeze bottle. You can use a toothpick to shape detailed masked parts, or use a brush to get nice scratch marks. I have also seen people use mustard and latex. I like the toothpaste, because even if it dries, it can be washed off with water.

Mines still not quite finished, but I've finished up all the painting and the internals are all wired up so I thought I'd share a few more pics.

I love the way the light comes through the blade plugs!

Was kicking myself for missing this run, will have to make sure to keep an eye out for the V2 run.

You can also use latex, mustard, and silly putty to mask.

I've used latex before but for a lot of weathering, you can forget where you masked after the paint is on top.

Yeah I'm sorry for lack of updates. Lots of things hitting me from all corners lately. This run has definitely stretched me thin but everything is turning out nice.

Not an issue for me. I know i'm getting it, just was curious on that status was all.

If we start wondering if you're a subsidiary of Efx, then you should worry

I think I'm doing better than efx lol. I'm a one man army doing 26 of these at once. Not an easy task.

[GeneralFROSTY]

I'll be getting the end caps and core pieces finished up today and tomorrow. After that we move on to assembly. I should have my supply of set screws by Thursday or friday.
