Description
@robpauza you did a fantastic job on this model! Here is my finished version that I printed in 8 pieces on my Ender 3.
I super glued the pieces together, then I JB welded the seams. Then I did an initial base of some filler primer, and then sanded and added wood filler to smooth out the seams. I did several rounds of filler primer, sanding, wood filling, sanding, and then priming.
Once I had the smoothness I wanted, I used Rustoleum "Dark Steel" paint and did 3 or so coats. I then weathered it using some acrylic paint and then finished it off with a Rustoleum High Gloss clear coat.
I then used a HOBART face shield, which I bought from cyberweld.com since Amazon seems to be out of them. I JB welded in some M3 screws on the inside of the helmet, and then punched out holes in the Hobart face shield where the screws would be to get the visor to keep it's bend without worrying about glue coming apart under pressure. It turned out great, thanks @robpauza !!
