I have had a very productive weekend. I finished the liquid masking, painting and topical weathering on both the right and left gauntlets. Time to start some assembly and then final weathering and dul coat.

LEFT GAUNTLET *EDIT: i ment left not right, it was a late night*

As I stated above, I am putting two red laser modules in the flame thrower nozzles. I wired up the 3V battery box (2 AAA batteries) to the two momentary contact switches and then one switch to each laser module. Then installed everything into the flame thrower housing.

Next I wired a 9V battery to the toggle switch, and then to the 12V LED. Even thought the LED is 12V, it will still light up with a 9V battery. I installed the switch and LED in their holes, then velcro'ed the 9V battery to the upper shell under the dental expander section.

The last part I got to was the Russ Rep missile. I weathered the brass nose with a black wash. For the aluminum parts, I painted on the black, then scratched it off with my finger nail, a brass brush, and an abrasive dish washing sponge. Sorry, the flash washed out the picture a little.
