Figured I'd post up some progress on Pre Vizsla.. Have almost all the armor plates painted except the backplate. Flight suit is Dyed to a grey green.. Just need to get my Flak vest sewn together(for about the 3rd try) add the blue striping to the suit and make the cape.. I have a Ripper Blades Darksaber on the way.. eventually.. at some point... some day ....somehow... it will arrive...
the goal is this-
progress-
Flight suit after green dye
armor
All the rest of the parts and the bondo'd parts have been sanded and are in various stages of paint.. thanks PNW and the random rain and wind thats been slowing down my paint progress since i dont have a paint booth anymore..
my paint technique on the dark metallic parts has been 3 coats of primer.. 3 coats of aluminum metallic..wet sand the aluminum so the dark metallic or the cyan blue will stick.. takes about 2 weeks each set of parts just so i know they are well cured and wont wrinkle.. ill be sanding back edges to give that rubbed paint over metal effect and then also air brushing on black for weathering prior to clear coating with Matte clear
Westars
Jetpack(lower nozzles have since been attached..
