Hey all! Anyone have any updates for us? I'm still trying to find someone to resin , glass, and detail the helmet. *wink wink* if you're available , it would be awesome to have you join *wink wink* Remember the perks discussed wayyyy back in the thread? (which reminds me , I will be shipping them out as soon as I get some picture paper to make everyone's prints on) But until then.......
UPDATE TIME!
I've cleaned up the trigger and grip area a bit. I tried to build up the recessed area of the trigger with spot putty.........it was a failure. I'll have to use bondo for that.
I used some Van Aken clay to build up the recessed area
And then I put the spot putty on
And after waiting several hours for it to cure (since it was SUPER think for spot putty) I went back to pull the clay away , and the spot putty crumbled away miserably. I should have taken an extra five minutes to mix up a small batch of bondo and the problem would have been solved! That's what I get for being lazy!
While I was at it , I started cleaning up the front portion of the other side of the gun.
The next area I am working on next is this raised bit on the top. It needs some bondo to square it off.
If there are any fillers out there that are like spot putty , but hold corners better, PLEASE tell me! I would like a filler that has the strength of bondo , but is easy to handle like spot putty. Thanks guys!
