Lots of hard work over the weekend sanding and filling. She's almost there. Just a bit more cleanup work. Must remember the 6 foot rule or I will be here all week.

Her current state as of today.

Beautiful! Even from four feet! Hahaha, I'm just messing. I know the feeling. I just painted all my armor pieces and the whole time I couldn't shake the feeling that there was no going back. Maybe I can just spot putty this real quick.. No Chris! You know it will never be good enough so just finish it and be happy.. *sigh*

Lol. Just a little of my inner monologue for you.

Your gun is coming out splendid! Stay strong. Now to post my painting update!

Haha, my motto is "Sand the thing until it looks like God made it and then some." It kills my neck and shoulders and isn't usually worth it, but I come out with a sweet looking prop for me to mess the paintjob up with.

Not that that's helpful. Awesome progress so far.

Haha, it never comes out that way. Just a joke.

If I could make things look like they were made by God, all my problems would be solved. Haha...wait......*moves to corner and starts sucking thumb*...

Well, now that the white coats are complete. Time for the part I hate most, masking. Just did the first part of the orange color. Fingers crossed....

 

[Alpha]

First batch of tape removed. Tomorrow we finish the orange lines.

PS This paintjob is stressful, white is so unforgiving.

 

[mblackwell1002]

I am drooling right now. looks fantastic!!!

 

[Alpha]

All the orange is complete. Had a small error while doing touchups and one of the strips got a little messed up. Just some premature weathering . Now to let it all settle then off to the Green.

 

[Alpha]

Who's ready for another stress induced game of whats under the tape!?!? I know I am!

 

[Alpha]

First batch of greens complete. So far so good.

[Alpha]

Alright, so for the details I decided to go old fashioned and hand paint. First bit done for the day, going to do the other side of the weapon and barrel tomorrow.
So far so good.
