Icarus's blog: "Hurts to watch."

created on 09/21/2009  |  http://fubar.com/hurts-to-watch/b309843

Weeeeelll....

we learned a few things.

I already learned that super glue melts plastic

but I also learned that epoxy putty smells
BAD

so... why is this even coming up?

I was putting on some panels on the surface of the shield

and I used some glue on the opposite side of it

and... the chemicals melted through.

Gooed a hole in my shield panel
that I had to fill with epoxy putty
and I learned less is more

a lot lot lot lot lot more.

My thoughts from this point forward, sparing use of putty for gap fixes, and always let the glue set before applying anywhere near it, and use it sparingly.

Glue can bubble too just like masks and such.

thin careful application
patience.

*flops back exhausted*
I spent a good long while filing the melted areas.

Fill hollow points coming anywhere near glue.

I've designed a couple grenade launchers
unfortunately I'm not comfortable with the design while retaining the gouf's ability to use his finger machine gun AND the prong.

I could make an unmounted one for his hand, but I'd rather focus on the barbed heat rod in his articulated hand.

I think... and I'm sad to say it
for the moment the grenade launcher is scrapped.

... course I have the ammo drum and a machine gun I could alter into it but... ... but... where would I mount it?

*stretches*
there's no reason for me to delay the rest of the process right now though.
I could always make the launcher later.

in the meantime, what's left?
Maybe some putty on the backpack to transition the mods
and
I need to put down... 4 booster boxes for my legs.
I could make em fucking huge too.

Then we prime.
Then we mask.
Then we color.
Then we topcoat.
Then we... do I need to panel line?
... we'll think about it.

ooh... and decaling?

oh hell... I have to make the emblems... so tiny.
