Thank you for the comment, yeah me too, i am so wanting to get painting on this thing, i can almost taste the paint i want to start so bad but everytime i set at the bench i look for more areas to put more detail and it keeps putting off the paint, i still have to finish the hydro pumps, battery hook ups, all the wiring on the chassis and make the rear axle fit the chassis, a ton of work yet..........

The foam looks so much more realistic primered gray then in the pink color it comes in....

 

[Quaralane]

Definitely looks sharper in the grey

No update yet, hopefully tonight I can get some work done to it. I stopped by the gamer store again and picked up another bone pack as I did not think i had enough for the build from the other two packs.
So that brings a grand total of $68.99 for all the tiny little metal pieces.

Yeah they asked me if i wanted to open up a line of credit at the store!!! No just kidding. It got more costly than i was planning on but the shapes and detail are something that I could never sculpt.

 

[TRM]

Amazing stuff! I thought that was my bench for a second!!! Are you gonna be able to actually lift this, or does it have to be assembled on the shelf ((((LOL))) Just kidding! This has been one of the most interesting build to follow as well as fun. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Not much of an update, did a little, but most of it has been in body work, getting rid of flaws in the body work, sink marks, making sure everything matches and working on the layout for the hydro cylinders, did make a weapons rack on each side of hood and came across some skull beads at a bed store over the weekend, they are a little on the large size but liked the color of them. Was worried that the weapons on the hood might look cluttered but had that idea for a long time now, just wanted to see what it would look like.
