... so here he is, at first glance looking like a little boy sitting on the curb.
I like and dread this step, after primer goes on... in some sense all that rework of the pose, new body parts, sanding, filling and prepping get unified under a new skin of paint.
But the scary part (just like thinking you did a good job of taping and mudding drywall) is that the even coat of primer will highlight every bump, gap and rough detail that you missed!
So, more filling, scraping and sanding!
Oh, and the goggles?
I kept the ones that looked too big, sanded and bored, painted, and filled them with some of that tinted Kristal Klear... they still need some paint touch up to narrow the metal rims.
The real test will be when the figure is painted and we see how they look on it. I did find some rather boring ones on a remnant sprue after all, so that is the backup plan.
The angle of the eye cups conform to his rather narrow face, so that the lenses are on a similar plane. I may reduce the angle if that looks better on his face.
Cheers
