UPDATE Aug 6th:
Well, got most of the major painting/construction finished. The right gaunt is painted now, and I black washed both using my acrylic flat black that I've had for years. The great thing about those "craft" type acrylics is that they last forever.
The paint job on the right gaunt is kind of a hybrid between pictures from AOSW and MOM. I couldn't find good pics of the underside from the MOM section, so I used pics from AOSW to do the bottom. It seems to work though.
The only things left now are to attach some of the small parts: 4 darts and small tube on the right gaunt, and the calc pad on the left gaunt.
I got a length of styrene tube to place below the whipcord housing on the right gaunt, and I need to paint that and attach it as well. I'm still searching for the correct hardware to build the hose attachments, but I think I've got a good shopping list, and I'm going to try to pick up the parts this weekend.
Pics!
Eric
