Good call! Will do, ty

Well so much for keeping this thread updated 😅 I've been making some solid progress the last few weeks. Enough so that the finish line is just in sight. So please bear with me and this photo dump. It's not completely up to date, as I've done a lot of rigging since, but its close enough lol I ended up painting the Plash by hand. Long and tedious, and a bit stiffer than I'd like, but I like how it turned out And lastly, please enjoy this little visitor that's been showing up for the occasional pat while I work in the garage Not my cat, just a friendly neighbourhood dude

Got some progress and some questions today. Starting off, I’ve got all the armour prepped and started painting. Decided to start with the medic bicep, and I’ll be doing the other eventually. Once it decides to stay in one solid piece… Finding the right colour of paint was a challenge and a half. Visited some auto stores who can mix paint, with all of them saying they couldn’t do it. I eventually found a water based paint, which wouldn’t be my first choice. But it’s the right colour.

Figured I'd start my build thread while waiting for my last few packages to arrive. The biggest challenge I'm facing at the moment is the poncho. I will very gladly take any and all recommendations on how to turn this thing black. I'm not opposed to painting it my hand if that's what it takes lol. I just don't even know where to start 😅 And if anyone has some recommendations for the armour paint in Canada, I'd really appreciate it!
