3 - Prep & Paint !! CAUTION !! This kit is a fiberglass kit. Fiberglass sucks. DO NOT BREATH IT IN. If you're building the fiberglass kit, consider building a DIY Sanding Box to protect your health, as well as wearing appropriate PPE including respirator, goggles, gloves and coveralls. PREP Wash the fiberglass with soapy water - this removes any remaining release agents on the surface Sand the insides of all pieces to remove any sticky pokey bits (Sanding & plastidip photos) Give it a good vaccum Rinse the armor again to remove any left over fibers OPTIONAL: Coat inside with Plastidip This is optional because you could always coat it with something else, however you should coat with something to prevent transfer of any fiberglass to your clothes or skin Vents Cut out the vents with rotary tool Chest vent https://databank.501st.com/mw501/images/6/6e/CHEST_CROP_TLJ_PHAS.png Chest pill holes Bicep pill holes https://databank.501st.com/mw501/images/7/7a/BICEP_CROP_TLJ_PHAS.png Shin pill hole https://databank.501st.com/mw501/images/f/f6/SHIN_CROP_TLJ_PHAS.jpg Helmet frown https://databank.501st.com/mw501/images/b/b2/HELMET_CROP_TLJ_PHAS.jpg File edges of vents until smooth Add greeblie buckles with E6000 (E6000 is probably overkill, but hey, I'm learning) 2x Bicep 4x Forearm 4x Thigh 4x Shin (velcro post chrome) 2x Spat Add greeblie shin boxes (left calf only) with E6000 https://databank.501st.com/mw501/images/f/f6/SHIN_CROP_TLJ_PHAS.jpg Add holster (right thigh only) with E6000 https://databank.501st.com/mw501/images/0/03/THIGH_CROP_TLJ_PHAS.png Fill gaps around shin boxes and holster with Milliput Fill any "large" imperfections in the armor surface I used Bondo Glazing Putty for the majority of these, primarily because I learned about Milliput after I was far past this step. Wet sand with 400 sand paper PRIMER OPTIONAL: Clean surface with air from compressed air (either Compressor & Air Blow Guns or Compressed Air Duster Can) Clean surface with tack cloth to remove any left over particles Coat with a light coat of Dupli-Color Grey filler auto primer Wait about 15 minutes Coat with a medium coat of Dupli-Color Grey filler auto primer Wait for at least one hour (I left them over night, but I'm 100% learning as I do this) Wet sand with 400 sand paper Check for imperfections & do minor fills (with either Bondo or Milliput) Wait for filler to dry OPTIONAL: Clean surface with air from compressed air (either Compressor & Air Blow Guns or Compressed Air Duster Can) Clean surface with tack cloth to remove any left over particles Coat with a coat of Dupli-Color Grey filler auto primer Wet sand with 600 sand paper Check for imperfections & do minor fills (with either Bondo or Milliput) OPTIONAL: Clean surface with air from compressed air (either Compressor & Air Blow Guns or Compressed Air Duster Can) Clean surface with tack cloth to remove any left over particles Coat with a coat of Dupli-Color Grey filler auto primer Repeat this until either you're happy with the surface or you want to cry a lot PRIMER Round 2 OPTIONAL: Clean surface with air from compressed air (either Compressor & Air Blow Guns or Compressed Air Duster Can) Clean surface with tack cloth to remove any left over particles Coat with a light coat of Dupli-Color Black sandable filler auto primer Wait about 15 minutes Coat with Dupli-Color Black sandable filler auto primer Let cure at least 1 hour prior to clear coat Clear Coat !!

Use high pressure (~30PSI) and low paint volume (1/4 open on HVLP fluid needle or 1/18 open on airbrush). Spray approximately 8-12 inches away in fast, lightly overlapping strokes until the desired opacity and shade is achieved. It is recommended to stop every couple of passes and allow the Duralumen to dry for at least 5 minutes. Then buff with a clean microfiber cloth or blue shop towel to remove unbound dust particles and produce a high shine. Duralumen is very resistant to removal in this way. Working slowly in this method can allow you to work up to your desired shade and opacity. Leave Duralumen to cure for at least 8 hours prior to handling. If applying a clear coat, leave at least 24 hours at room temperature for full cure to retain maximum shine and reflectivity. Clear Coat Round 2 (OPTIONAL) Most people find that clear coat dulls the shine of chrome paint. You can decide whether you prefer high reflective shine or protection for your paint. That said, I'll be clear coating my finger and shoe plates because they're quite small and I find the dullness not as noticeable. Plus they will be the pieces more likely to see wear. !! CAUTION !! This is a hazardous material. If possible, have this step performed by a professional with proper equipment. Coat with 2K catalyzed clear coat https://www.napacanada.com/en/p/MAX3680061

I'm well on my way through constructing my Captain Phasma costume, but I was encouraged to share the planning and building notes I've done so far! So... here we go! I'm going to try to break out each piece into a new post to keep it a little more organized. Notes about me: From Canada, so a lot of vendors are going to be Canadian 182cm tall (just over 6'), but most of my height is in my legs - I have a short torso 93kg (about 205lbs) 1 - References 2 - Materials & Supplies 3 - Prep & Painting 4 - Assembly & Strapping 5 - Cape Build 6 - Transportation 7 - Getting Dressed
