gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Looking better, only thing apart from (as you said) cleaning up a couple of lines, is the masking line in the grey, it is pretty noticeable, perhaps the DO's @Deployment Officer Team will chime in with their thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I noticed that when looking at the photos. A little emery cloth and touch up paint should level it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT 1977 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Finally getting around to working the bucket a little more. A bit more cleaning up than I anticipated but I think I'm close. Take a look and let me know. This trap has a little spot I need to buff out once the new paint drys Once I get the vents painted, should be tomorrow, next will be the ears and the tubes. Any recommendations on which I should do first? thanks! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT 1977 Posted April 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 1 week from today is "Return of the Jedi" at the Richmond Symphony. I was hoping to have something ready (officer, Jedi, etc) but too much life going on. Below are some photos of work on the traps and tears. I have some touching up to do but overall pleased with the outcome using templates. this one below is particularly messy but pretty sure easily (not quickly, though) fixed.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Nice work, just watch the angle of the template, angling upwards on side. Bottom of the corners should be sharp not rounded. I'd probably do a way with the last line, not much gap between it and the outside line. A touch up should get rid of most of your bleed.

I see what you're saying and I already know how to fix it. I just did the touch up work that i'll post below, but with the knowledge that this trap still needs the work mentioned. Thanks!

CT 1977 Posted April 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 This is the trap I'll be fixing next. Left Tear Right Tear. Let me know what needs to be fixed (although, I think I see some spots on the photo that weren't apparent prior). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 When you compare to screen references you can see the outer lines are quite thin, if you can get the outer lines a little cleaner will look a lot better. Bottom of this side is a little wobbly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT 1977 Posted May 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 Yep, good point. Definitely needs a fix. I'll get it on the next session. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT 1977 Posted May 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 Taking a short break from the build to mix it up with the 501st and Rebels at the Richmond Symphony and Return of the Jedi. I even got to meet Master Windu! Fellow troopers. Jedi protecting Mon Mothma Even had Jawa's. My wife won first prize in the raffle - Han and his Tauntaun. (had to keep my eye on those Jawa's). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT 1977 Posted May 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 I still have a little painting left but thought I'd get started on the ears. I've already trimmed a set but the right ear just wasn't working, the left was fine. So, below is where I knew I was going to have some problems because of the space between the two sections so I corrected it on the third photo. As you can see, the left side has a bit of a space but in placing the ear over it, I can definitely work with it. Much better! I got started on trimming the ears and, since this is my second "whack" at it, I'm going very conservative and making only small trim changes. I think I'm on a good "path" here, but any input/advice would be welcomed. (back view) (front view) Now, time for a little bike love....got to get some work done on my single-speed mountain bike to get it back on the trail. (rough being ADHD - projects never end). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
