Time to do the cheeks
But first... I had to make a new earcap!
Still needs to be dremeled and possibly filled, but looks fine for now and fits nicely
Okay now onto the cheeks. My template only shows base metal grey on the left cheek so I stenciled and masked both sides, but only painted the left first
Then the fern green
Then finally I put in magnets and painted the earcap
I'm glad that is taken care of. This earcap is stronger than the first one anyway, so that's great. I had a hard time in my first build keeping the RF up, and I saw a great idea on here to put a magnet in the back of the RF to keep it up. Once I get the servo setup I'm going to do the magnet thing as well.
For now though I'm going to finish the cheeks. I have about 2 more colors to go on those, then I'll do the ears, and I'll save the dome for last again.
After its all painted I will worry about buying the little extras and installing them. At the end I plan to purchase the visor, the Perspex block, the Borden connector, and all the electronics I need, so hopefully the finished project won't look as amateur
Off to keep working on it!
