Bolter painted with plastidip! Next up, primer, then base coat, then weathering.

Sadly, my gloves won't fit in the trigger guard. But, I'll wing it!

The shoulders just look a tad too large, though its difficult as our human proportions arent those of a transhuman! Great work though, looks excellent.

I agree, but at this point, I've put too much time and effort into them to start over. :D I may adjust them after Halloween. The shoulders are definitely the most difficult part of this build.

Here's a couple of glamour shots of the Mark II Bolter.

Here I learn that while Bolters are sexy delicious, they are not very tasty.

Happiness is a warm Bolter.

Space Marine Fun! Several cars stopped and checked me out. There was even someone who circled the block twice in order to get a good look. Another car gave me a thumbs up! Or, it could have been a middle finger gesturing for me to get the heck out of the road. Either way, Tiny is attracting attention!

I added screws to some key areas. If you're using pvc stilts, you may want to do the same thing.

After walking around yesterday for about a half an hour, my R leg stilt collapsed. I had glued the parts together using pvc cement, but with the constant flexion, it broke the seal. I added these screws to stress areas in hopes of adding a bit more stability and strength to those parts.

I tested them by jumping up and down and walking up and down some stairs. (Dangerous... I don't recommend that in stilts!) The stilts held together well!

Safety first! Now shut up and build. :)
