OK, today I got the head lasers in the black steel, and I must say, I'm very impressed. They are really sturdy, and aside from needing a bit of polishing to clean off some of the rough finish, they are in really good detail. They came out better than I thought. Anyways, I blew this picture up quite a bit, so it doesn't look as good as it really is, but like I said, a little polishing, and it'll be even better.

Cool! Let me know how it goes.

Will do. I'll be pulling out the jeweler files and the dremel to do what I can with it. Funny though, the sprue (sp?) is super thick. I'll need to file them off of it. It's good stuff.

there just two thing....the 2 side vent is just a little big and wouldn't fit under in fighter mode and the hole for the neck it a tiny bit small as well...so a little filling was need . But a great head sculpt

Dude, that is awesome! Spanner, you lucky basta..!

Hrrrng. Very nice!

Better to file away than adding something to tighten it.

Thanks man :) ..... I totally agree with you Kurisama

Snap one of the antenna .... man they fragile ...note: don't paint the side that got into the head !! and turn at the base :p ..lol

well i fix it will a tiny 1.5mm drill bit and inserted a pin (paper clip ) plus good old super glue them together... fuk it was tiny !!

Yeah,,they're far more fragile than I thought they'd be. I've since made just the lasers available in metal too, as well as the polished strong and flexible material for those on a budget.

On a side note Lancelot, did you find the assembly straightforward and easy to paint & mask?

the assembly was easy when i referenced your 3d drawing .... because of the material used... primer paint won't stick to it good..... so im using straight acrylic on it now... the only detail that need was the sides of the main visor .... need to be paned lined ....also the front neck detail abit rough ...
