I FINALLY got some more work done tonight... I am a little behind on my whole "one piece every two weeks", but hopefully I can catch up by doubling up on the smaller pieces. Tonight I added a layer of fiberglass resin to my uncoated forearm piece, but more importantly, I got a lot of Bondo and sanding done and (while there are still a few areas that aren't perfect...) most of it is looking really good!
Here are a couple shots on it's stand:
You can see the little marks on the side that look like maybe fingerprints or something. That's one of the little imperfections where I sanded down to the paper... :( having a rough time getting that to smooth out...
And here's a couple of vanity shots:
It still stunk a bit... but I did JUST prime it...
Stupid splotches again.
Top shot. Left side of the top (right side of the picture) in the front, I guess you would say the visor, there are a few nicks I need to get out.
and of course I had to wear my Reach shirt while taking the monumental photos! ;)
Also, I spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out the lights in the helmet. I had an old cheep LED flashlight, so I tore it up and tried to wire it to see if it would work. I got it to work surprisingly!... for about 2 seconds. I think I fried the lights because, and I am just guessing, I fried the bulbs by using a 9V...? I don't know what I am doing when when it comes to electricity, so if anyone has any input on a good light source for the head lamps then please let me know!
