ISS Version 2 Build Progress

So, Regarding my SE-14R.

I was thinking about spraying the Whole thing Black, to give it that Factory Fresh look.

Any Opinions? Feedback?

If it’s 3D printed, I’d suggest smoothing the print lines first. A filler primer can help remove print lines, however it’ll require sanding prior to painting. Then do your black layer.

[Zealot23]

I did sand it Vigorously prior to applying filler primer. Annoyingly however, some print lines have still slipped through the cracks. My mentor on the imperial officer Forums said that matte black will do a good job hiding most of the print lines that still remain

[Vaughn]

Then rock on! Sounds like you’ve got a plan

[Zealot23]

Damn straight

Something I’ve recently discovered when it comes to print lines: 50:50 mix of Bondo Glazing Putty and Acetone. You can brush it on, it’s just a little thicker than filler primer, and it works wonders! Plus if you need it thicker or thinner for a certain area just vary the ratio.

Definitely wear an organic vapor respirator when using it though!

[Vaughn]

That’s interesting, I’ll give that a try sometime.

I’ve played around with UV resin and print lines and that worked pretty well.

Again, wear your PPE!

[Zealot23]

Welp, my SE-14r is Complete. Feedback is Welcome

VERY Frustrating day today.

I went to a Mall with my Tunic, Trying to find a matching pair of pants

I found, Nothing. Not One pair of pants in that Whole Mall, matched my Tunic...!

Very Frustrated, Very Demoralized...

My Code Cylinders have arrived. I now have Access to All the Places and Things!
Only Gripe I have with them, is the bottom of one of them, being a little Mishapened.

[Vaughn]

It’s no problem - the bottoms aren’t even seen   

[Zealot23]

All I need is:
My Hat
Straight Slacks
Belt Boxes
Tunic Alterations
And my Better Holster

[Vaughn]

Didn’t your CosSky costume come with jodhpurs?

[Zealot23]

Yes they did, But, I cant afford the riding boots right now

[Fox]

Will he be able to get away with rubber riding boots for basic approval?

Those are more affordable than the real deal.
