And here it is with the paint:
I went with the Valspar metallic on the dome. It came out quite nice, even if there's a bit more texture than I would like. In any case, I did 2 coats of that, then tried some clear-coat but it was dullign the finish so I reapplied the Valspar and that brought it back.
Then, off to the hackerspace. I picked up some metallic blue Testors to do some touch-up work on the power couplers, thus:
If you can't tell, it's the blue ring in the middle. Also, I noticed that I missed a couple of dome pieces, saw the sides of the radar eye could use some touchups, and I noticed when looking at reference photos that the outer ring of the octal ports is meant to be blue (hence why it's separate to the inside). So...
Meanwhile, I tried to print some ankle cylinder holders, but they came out very thin and hollow for some reason. We think we figured it out, but in the meantime I have the ones below. I think I can fudge it with any luck. I may have glue them down directly to the leg or something. In any case, I'll see how they work. In any case, that's my vacation over with. Got a lot done. Cool.
