Almost completed the front section. I wanted to get a nice raised edge on the brace/bracket section so i cut the shape from ply wood then edged it with acrylic sheet.
JOB sourced the base colour as being Mocha based on the Bandai kit. At the local paint shop i found out there are about 40 versions of Mocha from the various paint companies, all look quite different. I got a sample pot of one and applied it to the front section with a small roller and sanded between coats. Looks just like it has been sprayed, so pretty happy with that. The final Mocha colour is a bit light but weathering will make it much darker.
