Some progress to report!
Retouched some areas with paintbrush to bring out the details. Armour pieces just need a coat of varnish then ready for assembly
Time to start work on the hands. The kit includes a right hand for holding the weapon, a left hand to hold the shield, and an optional empty left hand.
Shield hand, thumb and shield strap
Loose assembly with shield
There was no way to get the strap into the fist without more breakage, so I sawed the strap in half
Slotted both ends of the strap into the fist for a test fitting. Looks good
Glued with 15 minute epoxy, and left overnight to cure fully
Hands primed and given a black base coat. Will brush paint the armour finger plates later
Masking off the shield and hand to isolate the straps for airbrushing
Painted with Vallejo Model Air interior green, then shaded with VMA dark green
Masking removed
