Congratulations!

Coming along nicely!

That's just how life goes I suppose Anyway, I should probably not fill up your thread too much

I have the same problem, sitting on DLT 3d kit I've had for over 1,5 years by now. Forgetfullness, other thing to do and procrastination in one can do that to you

Aw yeah, looking forward to seeing this buddy!

I don't know what to say... Buckets Off.

Congratulations!

Aaand... Approved! I did jump over some steps regarding going back and forth with the coat weathering, but hey, No one needs to see that slog. I do want to thank my GML Daniel @TheSwede for helping me along the way, it probably would've been a lot harder without him. Thank you too, everybody else that's been watching this build, it's been a year, but it's finally done!

Ok, I needed to spray with coffee again as the batch I had done previously was not that strong and wasn't noticeable when dried. That being said, I think I'm (hopefully) done with the weathering!

Sprayed coffee on the coat and trousers today:

Did the black weathering today:

Ok, this may have been easier than I thought. So the reason that part of the helmet was so "tight" as it were, is because I had glued the shroud and the visor together (which I hadn't on the other side). So after removing some of the glue (thank God for e6000) it went back to it's natural curve, or atleast close enough for it to be not noticeable. Before: After: As you can see it's pretty even on the sides now (I atleast think so). And regarding the weathering, as I didn't need to remove much of the glue, the parts that I had painted look fine: Last but not least, the ugly bump is bearly noticable anymore! It's still there, but unless you look for it, you shouldn't be able to see it Thoughts @TheSwede ?

It's e6000, so I can redo that bit, but would it be necessary to reform the plastic? I haven't really used a heat gun before and it's a bit too late for a warm bath, so I would like to avoid it if possible, but I understand if it's needed. The biggest problem though, is my time. I would really like to have it approved by Comiccon and since I will probably need some modifications before that I don't have too much time, with how often I'm able to work on it.

I guess it's the bump you're referring, right? I hadn't noticed it before you mentioned it just now and it seems I may have screwed up a long time ago I just checked and it seems that is what happened when I glued on the vinyl in the first place: See how it's squeezing the right side more than the left? I hadn't noticed that until right now, it's been like this for months! I hope it's not a big deal, I just don't want to take the helmet apart or use a heat gun now that I'm so close

What about this? I dabbed out some of the more obvious brush strokes to make it look more natural. Might not be that noticeable, but still. :p Need to weather the soft goods too, soon. Will do a coffee spray for that.
