Mine received!
I adjusted the wobbling emitter and the mystery chunk to sit flat.
Here is a small tutorial for those who can be interested on doinf the same.

First, the mystery chunk.
I used the drill with the dremel to shave the threaded lines. The chunk have to be introduced with no resistance. Shave and check until you get the sweet spot.
Use a drill smaller than the hole and rotate inside with the lower rotation speed.

Then I used some putty inside the pommel and just have to introduce the chunk, center it and let it cure. Very easy.

Next is the emmiter.
I used the dremel with that pictured tool to shave the bottom of the steel part (dont know how its called, sorry)
I shaved about a mm ar maybe a bit more. You can see how much you need to shave when you assemble it.

Once it sit flat, i added some tamiya masking tape to avoid it wobbling. Add the amount you need to let it spin, but filling the extra space that makes it wobble.
Once you have it, re-assemble and thats it. Perfect fitting.

Just finished a test paint over one of my V2´s.
Meanwhile waiting for the stencils, i painted it and weathered randomly by hand. Also tried to match the grime in the grenade section.
I will be using 2k black primer for the final painting once the stencils are here. Also will use some aluminum black and beat up the surfacea bit.
Hope you like the provisional result!

BTW, i will be selling one fully painted/weathered

The name of my new band, Freehand Paintjob.

I already know how talented Inigo is, so I expected nothing less. ;)

I know I make a lot of nipple jokes, but this past post wasn’t intentional of being dirty, it just reads that way

I think it's just a gift of yours so deeply ingrained that you do it instinctively. In all seriousness, Inigou did a mind blowing job. I'm going to have to stick with the stencils!

I made the dent in the steel rod. Now looks pretty close to the original.
Thinking also on bending the plate but i doubt i have the correct tools for it. Waiting to the stencils to finally paint it properly. Can’t wait!

excellent work!

I personally used a mini torch and a rubber mallet. (the edge of the rubber mallet head, so I had a smaller attack)

I think the torch I used is called a benzomatic and cost me pocket change

I should also say, microtorches need butane refills often, so I'd pick up a little can of butane too
