Blaster weathered, helmet painting wrapping up, should have assembled at the armor party this weekend and then I think I might be done! I’ll do a dry fit at the party and get those pics up this weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright, after countless coats of abs paste and days of sanding what do you all think? (Ignore the bottoms,I’ll be notching them) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking good! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright, hopefully last of the in progress pics of the thighs, this is after 2 coats of paste then step down sanded down from 150 to 1500 then applied a very thin abs juice/paste. After this dries I’m going to hit it with600, 800 and 1500 again then Novus polish then we’ll see where I’m at. I’m thinking this may do it but we’ll see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s already better than I thought it would be lol, just keep sanding, sanding, sanding Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All sanded with 150, waiting on 2nd coat of abs to dry. Blaster looks like a blaster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thigh shims underway(I’m going to notch the bottom of the thighs so ignore the ugly cover strip job) To the right of the cover strip, 1 coat of abs paste and 150 grit sandpaper, long way to go but I think I can pull this off. Blaster waiting paint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hell ya they will notice. Armor party buddies have convinced me they can match the color Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now the real work begins. I’m not looking forward to this in the least bit. Thank god there is an armor party coming up lol. I’m going with the “no parking sign” method vs. using leftover thick cover strip material since it won’t be flush if I use the thicker leftovers. My 501st buddy’s are telling me they can match with paint. We shall see Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Detonator redo done. I’m happier. Will get the correct screws in there when I can get my hands on them but caps and panel resized and I tweaked the homemade clips as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I sure hope so, I’m not happy with how it looks but I still have a bunch of sanding to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where can I get my hands on abs paint?! Won’t there be color matching issues? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rework on detonator is underway. Been doing some ab shim work in between. This is after 3 coats of abs sanded down with 150. Have 220, 320, 600, 800 and 1200 to go. Thought I’d get my licks in on ab shims before I go after the thighs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
