Hey all!
I've been lurking for some time, and decided to jump on into the party! A week or so ago I started my first pep, and where else to start but with mjolnir?
I got through the scaling alright (actually the toughest part for me, I suffer a bit with numbers) and managed to do alright with assembly.
Then came the resin/fiberglassing, which was a learning experience and actually a lot of fun! This is just hit with some primer to help me see where I needed to start getting into sanding with the dremel (which is now my best friend. Seriously, we've got matching necklaces and everything. BFFFF.)
Now I'm on the... 3rd? ...27th? 89th sanding? I've been doing it in sections to try and keep from getting TOO obsessed with perfecting the whole thing all at once.
I did have a pretty frustrating problem with getting the front symmetrical, but some bondo seems to have taken care of most of that...
Not so super :
A tad better methinks!
Hopefully with what it'll be when it grows up hiding in the back...
So far things are doing not terribly, I'm having a ball with it! Any advice you guys have got would be much appreciated! Anything I should know before I paint? (in 40 or so more sandings I might be ready for that!)
Thanks for any help!
