First of all, my stream is going well, although I do believe I will need to purchase a better web cam for my main bench. I believe the smaller details are a little difficult to see. Apart from that, things are working out well. While on stream I have been working on my 3d printed Arthur Morgan, well his horse in particular.
I have filled the gaps and been working on smoothing and sanding, so far looking ok. I had to primer it once done just to check and it wasnt quite as smooth as i suspected so a finer filler will be required. Here is the progress so far:
Getting there but joints are still visible after priming, so a little more detail work is required. This is, however, one of my side projects. My main project is building my Mini Mayfair.
After my last post on the Mini, I had some issues with the black under paint coat for the chrome, I thinned it too much and ruined part of the main body paint. After trying a few ideas, I had to grind back the paint in that area and re-prime, paint and gloss.
The chrome paint i was using was new and I have never used it before. It is an incredible chrome but I had to learn how to use it. It doesnt take a gloss and can't really be touched once dry other wise it rubs off. Great colour, very chrome but needs to be handled with care.
I finally finished the reworking paintwork and put the Mini together on stream and this is the result:
Lots of great pictures and I am very happy with the result. There are a few little glitches but then I will always find fault with my own work. Well I hope you enjoy the pictures and have been enjoying my streams.
The display case will be coming tomorrow so It will be safely dust proofed soon enough.
