Alright [sigh] backplate round 2...Here we go.
I really wasn't that happy with my freshman attempt at sculpting the backplate so I decided to give it another go. I won't get into the details of how I sculpted it so I'll just start off with the raw pull and go from there.
I'm really pleased with this new sculpt, however, the shoulders needed to be formed just a bit in order to fit better ..no biggie though
Before I did that, I decided to finish trim the edges and cut out the JP slots and then sand it for priming
60 grit sandpaper for the edges to smooth them out...it needs it as these are pulled out of 1/8" inch so they're pretty tough
After that I hit the surface with some 180 to prep it for primer
Next I cut out the JP slots with the cutting wheel and then drilling holes in the corners...then finished it up with the file
