  1. Hadn't considered that. It's not really fiberglass though, more of a rubber with filler. May not have the same effect.
  2. Requesting. 5579<br><br> <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=13848'>http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=13848</a><br><br> Thanks in advance!
  3. Me too. Looks like the cool thing to do now
  4. If your top coat is white, I'd use a white primer. If not, you'll have to use more coats to cover it and get the true color. More coats means more cracking in the long run.
  5. I'll echo comments here. I have a RotS ABS clone and have never worked with this stuff. I picked up a kit for a Phasma.<br><br> It is heavier, but not in a bad way. The material has been really awesome to work with so far. In fact, in terms of fitting and adjustments I think it's easier than ABS because it does have a little flex to it. No "heat gun and hope you don't overdo it" stuff.<br><br> The actual build will be easier and faster than a ABS kit because a lot of it is already built, like the detonator, forearms, and the shoulder parts. Much quicker.<br><br> From a paint perspective, I think it will hold paint better than a hard plastic because it does have a bit of a grit to it that a super smooth plastic doesn't have. I'd give it a light sanding just to take off the shipping grime and residual, but it shouldn't need much prep. What I've painted so far seems to really hold and smooth out well. <br><br> From an accuracy perspective and as a GML, this more than meets any requirements. The parts are solid, the proportions are good, etc. Just like the other kits, you can make little adjustments if you want to get more accurate but this will suffice.
