Doing most of the sanding with a cotton bud and water. There is no dust. relaxing and fun. I am trying make seam work easier, and enjoying the process..

I think it’s now ready for primer, and another round of filling and sanding.. We’ll see how well I did in the first round

I’m using my Paasche Talon 0.5 here for lots of coverage, like a rattlecan. Sometimes I don’t use the needle at all.
Laying down the primer extra thick, for sanding.

I figured this was good enough, since the uniform will be silver, and hopefully hide the seam further

I used Rub’Buff silver for his uniform. For the skin I made a thin purple wash with oil paints and gloss medium over the grey

Thanks y'all! It feels good to finally complete something. Been stalled out on other works for far too long, so I needed this small victory. I went to visit my Mum yesterday and showed this to her. She liked it so much, she asked if she could have it. I was so surprised.. ?

Wow truly all its money worth that kit. What a nice find! With all the gaps you filled these days you should install a pipeline to your local fillersuplier! 😄
Very nice made, 👍 Fun to watch!!!
