It's a dark blue, and I'm going to add purple to the T. Should get back to that at some point. Link to comment
JAFO[TX] Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Great to see you back in the game and moving at pace. Keep it up! 1 Link to comment
xAlpha[TX] Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Painting should be done by this weekend, then it's on to assembly and weathering. I'm trying to get it completed by my birthday next weekend. Would be a nice gift to myself to submit it. 1 Link to comment
JAFO[TX] Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Great work - it’s coming along nicely! Hope you’ve got your rigging solution sorted. If you’re still deliberating you’ll find lots of advice on Jim’s kit in the pinned build threads. 1 Link to comment
xAlpha[TX] Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Some good news/progress: I'm pretty proud of my helmet setup. I used the d-rings for the straps, and then additional rings on the straps to clip the mask. But, in bad news, the paint on my straps failed and I'll have to redo them: 1 Link to comment
JAFO[TX] Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Looks like oils are still leeching from the rubber. Another big wash, dry and light sand should get you ready to prep with the adhesion primer and paint. Link to comment
xAlpha[TX] Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Yeah. Just sucks it couldn't happen before I got it permanently attached. Gonna be a lot of masking in my future (but I'll use plastic bags for the largest parts). Link to comment

xAlpha[TX] Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Now that I'm approved, I thought I would share my submission images folder in case they can be of any help to others: https://imgur.com/a/ZiaJFO1 Also, for the heavier mud, I used grey clay, water, and white glue. Once I got the mix sufficiently on there, I sprayed everything with a clear matte sealer to keep it there. Link to comment
