RC SD Build up

[cougar184]

been working on this the past week or so. ive installed about 3/4 of the fibers now and im getting things together. I have still have a ton of clean up work and detail to rebuild as the construction of the super structure did not go together as smoothly as I would have liked but I really happy with how she is turning out. Im expecting to have her assembled by the end of the weekend and then on to cleaning up and priming.

Comments?

I think ill have about 1300 fibers installed when she is done:love

Hi, may be its a very amatour question but i need to ask...

I saw that you install the fiber before you paint the model. OK. Dont they get paint on their heads while you are painting or air brushing the kit ?

I how will you manage to protect the lighting heads of the fiber not to get painted to lid ?

I hope I found the right words to discribe my question.

And, it is fantastic....
Cheers.

I believe people leave them sticking out during the painting, then
trim them flush when completed. Trimming them gives you a clear
head on them again. Thats one way I have seen them done anyways.

yep. she has a ton of whiskers right now ill paint and clip

 

[cougar184]

I have about 25 LEDS to wire up and some final clean up work and then she is off to paint
