hey guys.. its been a while since i updated my progress.. so thought i prolly should get round to it.. well rl been getting in the way.. moving house.. new job etc.. but have managed to get a few things done dispite getting sidetracked.. ohh and sry for pic heavy..
first of all i wanted to get the gloves out of the way.. have undersuit sorted to just needs a lil bit jiggering once armor peices rdy..
test mid pep for glove size etc..
wich finally became ...
sry for poor qual .. different cam used and lighting was bad.. but u get the idea..
i also started the ma5-x
at pep stage..
at first primer...
then at trial undercoat stage..
have since smoothed it considerabley and added clip.. its almost rdy for finally base and mat black+ accessorys to finish it off.. will post a pic once i am happy with it
omg how did those gloves sneak into my ma5 pic.. gah they get everywhere..
mean while my helmet it gathering dust.. but sitting pretty..
those sneaky gloves at it again lol
started pepping the chest but then got sidetracked...
so far...
now for what side tracked me... am sure u guys will recognise it...
^at partial pep and test lense fitting..
after much work on and off primering and sanding filling etc i came across a new paint
so i decided to test it.. came out almost crome effect wich made me smile..( will be useing for undercoat for final gold/red to give it depth and make it really "pop")
as u can see still was in need of smoothing etc.. and paint went on nicely.. for a heavy metalic.. it currently looks like this ( below) almost as smooth as i would like (though looking considerabley less shiney) and getting to the stage i will flat it off and paint/add finishing touches such as the giant screw/bolt heads etc..
as u can see in pic have the paint waiting.. but old ironman is gunna have to take a back seat cos poor old mc has been neglected of late and needs some tlc... i am only doing the ironman ( will also do a war machine) while wearable.. to be my bookends for my dvd's and games.. tbo i am glad i got distraced have learnt a fair bit and hope i can put that learnt knowledge to use on the rest of the mc suit.. well thats it for now... and if u made it all the way down here to the bottom.. i will hopefully be updateing a bit more regually as i progress futher into my build.. take it easy guys and gals..:cool
