Got the right shoulder bell started. Super glued some wire to the TB bell. I dont think Im going to put any bondo on it. Just going to try primer paint and see how it looks. And then if it looks like it needs bondo Ill add some.  To date I have the shoulder bells, elbows, hand plates, knees, chest plate all ready for paint. Should have the leg and forearms in bondo soon. |

Finished....Except I dont like the color of the paint. Its Krylon Burgundy and its too red for my taste. Going to check out Home Depot tomorrow for some Rustolium. Man that flash on the camera almost makes it look pink....  |

Ok so I finally got around to getting the Clairet Wine paint today. Im still not happy. But its better IMO than Burgundy. Compairo: CW on left. The flash REALLY washes it out.  Still not purple enough for me. But it'll do I guess. It'll look better dulled and weathered. |

Look what I discovered!  I rubbed the shoulder bells with scotch bright pads to dull it and now its almost EXACTLY the color I was looking for. Again the flash washes it out. But Im happy with the color now! |

Without the flash, that color looks great. Can't wait to see your finished suit.
