Another gauntlet progress thread.

I've been workin on my ruffkin's today finally. Here's where I'm at. Masking and misting is done. Still needs detail work and dull coating.

So my nice sunny day just turned into this, I think I'll pack everything inside and finish painting another day :cry

aww man that sucks i know how u feel, where i live it can be sunny for a bit then a whole bunch of wind will come along and blow dust at ur newly painted stuff.

Good job so far. Are u just doing the top halfs?

 

[digital509]

I'm doing the whole thing, the rest is still silver and waiting for good weather.

AWWW quit your complaining guys!!!! At least you don't have to worry about your paint freezing up or getting snow all over your stuff when you spray!!! Nice start on those gauntlets btw

You've got a point man. I lived in Minnesota for a short period of time so I know what you mean. Today was the warmest day in a while so I decided to try to paint some. Last week was in the teens to the negatives and I didn't get a whole lot done. Oh well. I'll get it done sometime.

Well, I'm not going to post pictures of this because it's gross. But last night I should have just gone to bed instead of busting out the dremel. I was working on a piece to hold my flamethrower nozzles together when the dremel slipped and cut deep into my index finger. Blood everywhere! But let me tell you, I'm sure glad I had some superglue in my toolbox next to me! Works like a champ on cuts.

you should know better than to bust out the dremel while Fear&Loathing in Las Vegas is playing

seriously glad you are ok.

Here's the flamethrower attached without the bottom and the nozzles just sitting in there.

This was after the movie, but before the chocolate milk and toast.

Superglue fixes everything!

I've done that before too. Works better than a Band-Aid. Glad you are OK though!

what did you use as ends on your flamethrower nozzles?

Coaxial connectors which you can get from Radio Shack:
