What color is that orange? Hard to tell in photo. And gun metallish gray and gold? I think it may be some weird lighting. Can't wait to see the stuff all together and painted. Personally after painting a few different colors lately I like the lighter colors as a base. You can just make them appear more "gritty" but really that just comes down to personal preference.
How did you end up attaching your 2 chest halves together? Or is you didn't do it in halves how did you sit it so you can put it on?
Thanks for the photos it all came out great
