[Peejfro]

Ok so I finally got back in hardware mode and started back on my build today and spent a few hrs getting some paint on.
I am unsure wether or not to do the silver inserts on the arms in silver paint or silver tape any advice or comments are welcome, I am glad to be back on this as I had really not been able to find time for it lately, check out my makeshift cardboard box spray booth lol.

 

[Peejfro]

hopefully I can get the rest of the suit pva/ let /primed/ and poss painted tomorrow . then on to make shoes and any other details I might have neglected. but still can poss wear it for trick or treating with my kids as it stands :unsure

thanks bro I appreciate it espesh from your good self , it has taken a while to get back in the swing, I can see now how some of these guys selling stuff get swamped I couldn't do it personally

 

[Peejfro]

I have not clear coated yet and am not sure if it needs it any opinions out there?

 

[Drack]

I know what you mean. I am no longer employed and finding it hard to do anything for my self. I managed to get my Halo helmet done but then I will be doing a run of them so it serves 2 purposes.

Fantastic first build! I am in the same position atm. I have gone against the norm myself and made the helmet 1st. I have a feeling it will need to be re-done, but I shall see how it looks once I have plastidip'd it.

Done a little on the chest also. I shall try to upload some pics of it all soon.

My question is whats best to fill in the cracks, seams between ajoining sections. On a another thread someone mentioned super sticky celotape but I assumed putty filler or bondo? Sanding it seems tricky unless I cover the whole suit in bondo? Any ideas tips?

Thanks, CookieG
