WOW. It's really starting to come together.
Thanks mate. Yes, now that the observatory is finished and the TV crew has been and gone, I'm looking forward to spending more time on it.

This looks fantastic! I gotta say it looks like you nailed the scaling, don't think you could get a better fit than that!

Scaling was pretty simple but getting the thing to fit is still challenging. Drack has given me some good advice for next time but I will persist with this one as I've already come too far to go back.
I bought a can of paint that had a GOLD lid, but the colour label said ORANGE. I asked the paint salesman which was correct and he said the colour of the lit was correct. Looks like he was wrong.
Damn, that looks AWESOME.
Keep up the great work![]()
I'm wondering why you didn't just buy more of the same gold paint you used on the helmet? If that was your intent when looking at the lid, keep in mind that lids can be swapped out by kids or pranksters in the store (like the people who remove tubes of hardener from cans of resin and filler in the store) so always trust in the color name printed on the can itself (which cannot be fooled with in the store). The color of the cap usually isn't a precise exact match of the paint anyway. Take for example the metallic mirrored chrome caps on some paint - as hard as you might try, you're not ever going to get the same reflective mirrored look from the actual paint.
Your build is coming along awesomely!
This is a totally AWESOME build. Love the detail and can't wait to see this completed. Great attention to detail and inventiveness!!
I am in awe, good sir. This is incredible. I have always wanted to do an iron man suit and this is only giving me more encouragement to do it. Absolutely wonderful attention to detail. Can't wait to see more!
This is looking really awesome, the paint really comes out well, and I admire your duct tape minion. I need one of those
I know that it was probably mentioned somewhere in this thread, but I can't find the details anywhere of where you got your pep files for this build.
Epic work by the way... Truely inspiring.
This...looks...awesome! I wish I was that good with bondo. I have so much errors in my armor because I get impatient, but yours just looks like it came out of the movie. Definitely trying rondo on my next suit.
