Just a little something more...
Need To Get Deeper In The Red.
Welcome back to this turnout gang!

OK, last time the helmet was a done deal but taking another look,
I decided to punch up the red and maybe sharpen up a few things.
The helmet as it was...

Went in with the Tamiya black panel line accent,
then over it with a few drybrush coats of Gunze Sangyo Carmine Red.

A bit more shade and richer red colour, works for me!
The kinda before and after shot.

Helmet liner and chin cord added.





Time to go with the shoulder armour plates.
Tamiya semi-gloss black with Vallejo dark sea grey drybrushed.
Cord representation parts painted and fitted.



Dry fit lay up look see.

Pulled out the cord ribbon that will tie them all together.

Parts paintwork done and decorative parts fitted.

One side laced together.







Both done and done.

And fitted to the stand.



Armour box secured to the stand by way of four small screws going
through the bottom of the stand and in to the feet of the box.

That's going nowhere, name plate sorted as well.



Looks the part so onward!

Four styrene pegs fitted so the stand will have something to grip to when in place.



Sorted!

Away to page 5 for the final bits and assembly larking about.
