Did some sanding and the prime it again .. Looking better might ave to repeat this process a few more times here's before and after shots

Here it is a little cleaner

In your cleaner titled pic what grit are you down to? Are you planning on wet sanding also? Either way looking solid, its always amazes me how after you do a large portion of sanding feeling its gotta be done just to re-primer and find as you saying the extra dips and bumps.

[braytak]

[braytak]

not much to show today, did alot of sanding that was it maping out details in my head hope to be done soon, i might scrap the whole armor build and go with a odst they been popping up all over this site and after seeing hughs model i really wanna do it

 

[vshore100]

Ah man, don't scrap it. You can just do it after you finish the current build. Then you will have two suits. keep going brother!

My experience using ready patch so far is that after you are satisfied with smoothness after sanding, spray it with primer and it strengthens the MH Ready Patch and gives it a durable surface comparable to that of bondo. Then you can spray it with your second layer and top coat which will probably protect it even more.
