SuperTrooper Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 You are getting your TX done faster than I am. It helps being a a little warmer climate since I'm supposed to see snow/ice three days this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the dark knight[501st] Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Thanks guys! the biggest advantage is this huge heated garage/ shop area i have. they are calling for snow here too. that really will slam the brakes on this one!

DarkTrooper[TK] Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Great job Jon! I'm maybe half way done on the building part with my ATA. Shoulders, biceps & arms built/painted. Calves are built. I need to pick up more E6000 to finish the thighs. ATA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sskunky Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 That looks great. I think 2-3 layers is good. Always remember that the more layers you apply the softer the features become. Paint always gathers in the detail areas and fills the somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
