Those arms look great man! I like that you actually carved in the detail lines on the forearms. Very Nice!

Your whole armor looks great and the detail your putting on it is amazing mac keep up the great work and keep us posted on it.. . . . .

Nice forearms

Glad to see that your paint situation is resolved

 

[Macattack64]

Yea, it definitely because of the 2X coverage paint. I don't know why but that was the problem..



I also fully re-primed my recon, I have the crown piece ready for plastic but idk if I'll get to it. I'll worry about recon later but this is where it's at right now..



You can never have too many pictures, right?

KAN I HAZ REKAWNZ?

Looks great Ryan!

Hey I see my stickers

 

[pooper]

Oh man, that Recon Helmet is looking bad@$$! Really digging the forearms as well.



Looking good Mac! and like Soulless mentioned, glad the whole paint thing is figured out. Now I'm a little worried about when I'm going to paint my suit... I'm using the 2x coverage paint (Oregano Color) and it hasn't cracked/messed up on me yet... I'm hoping it doesn't start now... Maybe the weather has something to do with it (not likely)? I don't know... I'll give you a heads up in case it cracks on me too.



But looking great Mac!

@ SoullessSin ~ Yea you're stickers are there, still not ready to use them, go figure. lol



@ Pooper ~ I think the reason I had the problem was because I had 2 other layers of paint underneath it and the another one on top, the black. And if you look on all the other cans and then the 2X, it is missing 1 chemical in comparison to everything else.. But idk, all that matters is that it works now.

@ Mac: hey, as long as it works for ya now! lol yeah, I'd much rather go back to the old cans but I guess the 2x will have to do.

I had to find them at a local Meijer store. Not only did they have the same color, now labeled as painters touch but not 2X, but they are open 24-7.

dang nice detail on the recon

 

[Macattack64]

Thank you, but I'm not sure when I'm gonna paint it. I've got it done so.. I think I'm gonna continue getting all my pieces to that same point and then get it completely done.

how do you add led on that helmet and where can i find led?

I bought the LEDs for the helmet from RadioShack. They were 10mm bright whites. I got housing for them off of ebay. I drilled a hole and inserted the housing into it.

 

[slawrence]

how do you insert them, that sounds kinda complicated?
