Magma Trooper: Attempt #2

[Fivezero[TX]]

Fantastic looking Magma man, paint job is great!!

[mikedwelle94[TX]]

Today offered a very brief window of time for painting before the snow started falling. I seized that opportunity, and let my paint dry to the touch before I strapped the armor back together. Probably should have waited longer, but I want my TX number now, and I can always patch up the paint job later.

 

Here is my finished Magma Trooper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's about time

Just got the email... I've been approved! Freakin' finally!

Thanks everyone for your encouragement and advice - I wouldn't be here without it!

Getting really good results with my spraycans.

 

 

I'm polishing the helmet as I type this, and will have updated pictures later!

 

Are you just using regular spray paint cans?

What kind of liner are you using in the helmet? Seems like it sits high, but that could just be me...or maybe you have a long neck

I'm using a star-shaped foam pad, but you're right, it could come down a bit. I ought to cut some foam strips of my own before I do my next troop.

Yep, Rustoleum. Highly recommended over anything else.

Ya, I keep a thin foam piece in the very top, but it's the front/side/back pieces that really hold my bucket up and allow for the helmet to sit lower.
