Should be resin Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got a bid of a break between the storm. As there was sun for at least 5-6hrs. Didn’t spray primer from a can outside as I assume there’s still much moisture in the air. Prime from an airbrush indoor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok took your advice. I did another run of chipping Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Belt next. Due to daily thunderstorms lately I can’t paint. So I decided to sand the resin parts. Realized I don’t need every block in the kit set. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Completed Holster done! Imperial surplus finally took my armor kit order. Will work on the helmet foam and fan next. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Holster Still no news from imperial surplus. So I started working on my holster Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lens replaced. Helmet build complete Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I m using a breast feeding fan. No wiring need. The air outlet angle can be adjusted. Charge with a USB C. Low setting can last for 6hrs, highest setting 1hr. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Final piece the lens.. then I realized, I can’t see anything thru the lens. Will have to get replacement lens sheet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seems the resin parts react with Tamiya paint now. I ve washed and leave it dry for a whole day. On applying tamiya paint direct from a spray can, the paint reacted on the flat surface. Will wet sand and try again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Copied will stop weathering. Trying to figure out the lens installation Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you referring to this part? I hold back on the weathering due to some Reference Photos taken on set of that episode in Niamos. Some of the helmets appear to be coated with dust or it could be the photo source. I m still deciding on either wash or just brush pigment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
