Space Dust is more iridescent top coat than I was expecting; like a seventies iron-on t-shirt filter. Glad I finished the highlights.
Started by reestablishing the non-metallic details on the right side. Added soot to the engine core, one of the arms, and for the recess shading.
Base is still too small but wasn’t looking to put major effort in. I still had the corner guards from the top of the file cabinet. Reinforced with styrofoam, CA to seal, primed with Rustoleum for plastic. 5-minute epoxy on the mini, with prep for pounded metal; it won’t be pretty but it will be functional. Should be looking at the creepy mech anyway.
I’ll probably end up popping the base in the end, but tired of looking at it. Ready for the board.
