The paintjob is great! I like how the red is painted over the gold like it was in the film, should fix that high altitude freezing problem

 

[BradSparten235]

Thanx but i will use IT for airsoft. But he called me an idiot he can get band for that

Work continues late in the night.

Working on the chest armour, using the arm for the left-over bog from each application.

POR-15 rust-proofing the insides of the back, waist and cod. Gold undercoat done on chest.

Looks pretty sweet. But please clarify- is this steel like the title says or aluminum like most of the earlier posts said? Or a mix?

Looking amazing, as always, Sandbagger! Good choice on the por15 for the insides... it's resilient stuff!

I honestly don't know how a "professional" paint job would look any better.

The paint job on the helmet looks awesome! This is such an amazing build and while I don't know the first thing about welding or metals, I love seeing all the progress you make.

 

[BuildsByBaz]

^^^ Thanks all.

Lots of little angles, corners and details to get into. Difficult.

Someone was also asking what paint I was using to get the desired colour and metallic anodise colour right.

So awesome seeing this at the painting phase and how amazing it's turning out. The children you visit are sure to be very thrilled.

O.O Wow! This is incredibly impressive Sandbagger. I can't find the words to describe at how blown away I am by you're work. It looks phenomenal! Keep up the fantastic work! :thumbsup

 

[Harri51]

just one simple word bagger. Epic. *drops the mic*

 

[BuildsByBaz]

Thanks gang.

I've got some people coming over tomorrow night to see the suit - not bits of a suit, so I put him all back together again.

I haven't painted the rim of the camera in the matching gold yet nor have I covered the tiny lens in gold film, but I can tell you already that with the eyes lit up, you can't see it at all! Winnin'!

 

[Jme]

Holy crap.

That's great, can't wait to see it finished!

Awesome paintjob!

 

[BuildsByBaz]

^^^ Thanks guys.

Chest painted. The expensive, "Low tac" painters tape I used to mask off the gold still left residue. I'll fix it up later..
