Could you guys please take a look at these pics to make sure you're happy with the painting all the way up to level 3. I know it needs weathering, but I can do that over the clear coat.

 

The abs is not as shiny (RWA had supply issues) so I'm going to spray with clear semi-gloss, but once done these details will be sealed.

 

Thanks,

Rich

EXCELLENT work on that paint job, brother!  Looking forward to having another HWT in the ranks, but If I could make a couple of suggestions they would be:

 

1.  As per the CRL, ideally the slant on the front of the tube stripes should face forward and they should be about a "pencil width" from the cheek as well as of a similar shape/size.

2.  Can you post up side views of the ear position(s)?  In a perfect world the screw heads should line up with the rear angle of the trap.

Thanks Joseph

I knee I was going to mess up those tube stripes! Easy enough to strip and redo.

I'll check the screw alignment with the traps when I get home. Hopefully enough wiggle room if I loosen the screws to get them lined up.

Hi again all,
Been a while since I've been able to work on this.

I've redone the blue tube stripes, given it a clear coat of semi gloss lacquer to try and make it closer to my armour, and given it a light-ish dusting of charcoal powder.

All feedback gratefully received4af1337de679bd7351c0d578130c74a6.jpg5f0d4c454ea94c275aa456a6f8e6b254.jpg57b6dbea7e5ebbbccd9fb1e315b5d85b.jpg3e4dd1a73db68c0ed7bca59c0a07dce6.jpg

Looking great Richard. I’m not too familiar with the HWT character but an image I saw of one somewhere looked quite weathered. Not as much as a sandy but still quite profound enough to see at a fair distance. I would add some more weathering on the helmet as I can hardly see it in the photo. How are you enjoying the build?

I found with taking some photos that I had to go a little darker in some areas as you just couldn't see some of the weathering, with using charcoal, dust or waterproof paint you can always adjust or correct anything without too much trouble.
