Cheers G, no I Havant buffed it over yet, I was waiting to get all the colours down on the helmet first, I know that you do it in-between every colour. Your thread has been like a bible to me the last month or so lol, thanks for that.
Thanks for the imput F4R, I can see what you mean on the mandibles, the damage comes over to the left a bit to much. Hopefully on my lid I can try and fix the scaling issues. To be fair its my first lid paint up, im very happy with what ive done, and most importantly the person who commissioned the lid is also very happy with it, so all good
Update time, I don't know if this is an actual method, but I basically just used what I had in the shed, and it came out really well.
So I wanted to attach the range finder to the lid using the bolt method as I think down the line the owner wants a RC set up. I took a allen bolt and nut, and using a dremel, cut away the head of the bolt.
I then went and enlarged the hole in the BM range finder arm to accomondate the larger bolt.
Then I used two part epoxy resin to secure the bolt into the ranger finder arm.
Once that was done, I then went ahead and drilled the hole in the helmet ( probably the most scariest part so far lol)
I then simply bolted the range finder in place with the use of a nut and washer on the other side.

The arm and RF top still need to be weathered. Ive already started to mark out the ear decals as well as the kill strips so they will be finished come the weekend.
