Looking fantastic! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Heres the latest, with all the redos on the frame the paint and clear got a little thick causing some mild fitment issues with the holes for the metal bar that secures the front plate. It still goes together but its not the clean getaway I should have had. A cheap air compressor (what I got for now) is to blame. Total failure on the right sideplate means I had to take it down to bare metal; will attempt paint again when possible.

From what I can tell the reel paint work looks sharp! Sorry about the fitment issues.

Thanks dude! Yeah but hey for my first go at it, I am rather pleased with the overall results. Just need to fine tune the control factor. I hope to just get another frame and so the end result is a flawless build inside and out.

Looks great from here!

Very nice, you've definitely hit the stormtrooper nail on the head.

Looks good man! If you redo the frame just use glass bead or walnut to blast the paint off. I think it looks awesome though

Looks great.
What paints do you use? I have used Createx Wicked and wondered if there is a better water based option.

And, more importantly to me, what do you use for a top coat?
