And here's my second go around. Not 100% accurate by any means, but it was still a lot of fun to do.

I like your paintjob. Did you repaint your first bucket, or is that a new one?

 

[TK 4130]

This is an M_S 3. My first one was an M_S1. New bucket, same approach.

 

[Del Fargazer]

Fantastic work. That's an awesome paint job !!
:cheers

Looks awesome, if I may suggest it needs a shot of dull coat.

Well it may not be 100% accurate <yeah and like I'd know what was > But it's still a damned good paint job, Very nice work indeed, my hat is well and truly tipped to you.

 

[MandalorFett]

Great job! That's such a difficult paint job to do.

 

[Jimmy BufFETT]

Very awesome paint job right there. Please don't feel ashamed to post pics of it ... it looks very accurate if ya ask me!

 

[TK 4130]

Thanks for the compliments guys! After I looked at the pics, I remembered I forgot to attach the borden connector.

Yeah... That was my first thought too. It could also use a light misting to tone the green down a tad... But... Its still a great lookin' bucket nonetheless. Good job.

OK, here comes a silly question. What exactly is dull coat? I know what it does, but I looked around at a few places and I couldn't find anything labeled as dull coat, is that what it's called? The helmet does look shiny in the pics, it might have something to do with all the snow/glare. :facepalm

I believe dull cote is just a name that some hobby paint brands uses to describe a clear flat varnish. But if I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

And I like the paintjob, by the way.

 

[Devilstar2k2]

Dull Cote is a matte finish made by Testors... You can get it in the model section at Michaels.

Thanks for the help. I found some today, removed the visor and gave it a once over, and it looks much better.
