Tatical TACPAD Complete

[DragonWarrior24]

NOW it's done.

I cut the screen out using a small Rotary Tool (which I had to recharge constantly since I had no patients at the moment)

Sanded the sharp and rough edges with the sanding attachment

Then I painted it using Acrylic Paints, which are what my mother uses with her hobby of painting ceramic figures, had to mix some colors to get it right.

I'll soon spray a protective coating to keep the paint from peeling

Using my father's iPhone, I took a temporary adhesive, A putty that is used to hold posters up, and stuck small pieces on them

Please tell me what you think

what did you use, bondo or clay? because it looks a little clayish to me. if you did, what type did you use?

well, I first carved Non-sulfer plasticine clay to the shape of the TACPAD. it took A LOT of in-game shots to get right. Once I smoothed out the details, I poured Silicone over it, making a 2-part mold box. I used liquid plastic to make the final piece and used a rotery tool to cut and shave where need be, then I painted. I have another thread that shows the work in progress, it's titled tacpad wip

well, in this shot I used a kind of putty (used to hold posters up) to secure the phone to the tacpad. bit in order to put this on a gauntlet, I think a small plastic sheet to go under and then use Velcro or some locking system would work best. I don't recommend magnets because that could screw up the phone
