Thank you.
Oh, it's far from it. Lol.
Like I mentioned. Still need the bucket, sealing then painting. Weathering and decals.

Looking fantastic!

This suit is incredibly perfect. I’m excited to see it done. Looking at the way you seal your seams, I might have to go back and add more sealant to mine. I’m always afraid to go overboard, but yours look really nice. Can I ask how you do it?

Thank you so much. My seams are actually pretty bad. There is a lot of effort put into smoothing it out. Lol. I would sand/dremel down and uneven areas. For gaps I filled the in with Woodlands Foam Putty. Let that cure for 48hrs then sand smooth. If there are still dips or uneven spots apply more putty, cure and sand.

I slathered them with putty. Lol

I do something pretty similar, I use Kwik Seal plus and fill in the cracks, and use a bit of water to smooth it out. Seams are hard to get rid of, it made me a lot more careful when piecing things together

The forearms and thighs are hard! I finished a thigh last night, took me all day! I’m sure the forearms are more challenging.

The armoury files for the forearms are brutal. I had to simplify and combine parts of them. I found the unfolds didn't make sense.

I just checked those out last night. I'm not a big fan of the pattern but I always tweak the patterns anyways. You're looking great though! Are you painting soon?

Yes! I have started to paint. Right now it's a matte black base colour. I am thinning Liquatex Basics Ivory Black and applying it with my airbrush. (you may have seen it on my IG)

Wow, just went back to look at it! Looks awesome. What pattern did you use for the gloves? They look perfect. Are you aiming for tier 3?

 

[PaiganBoi]

indigoD0g The gloves are my own pattern.
I am aiming for tier 3.
keeping my fingers crossed.
