The Mandalorian - R5D4 Holoprojector - 1.2

Yesterday I masked off the silver ready to spray up with blue.

masked up ready for painting

It’s been a while since I’ve used this silver, and I wasn’t happy with how it was looking applying the blue over it caused the silver to come off when I wiped it.

blue paint applied, not happy with it though

wiped the silver off with the blue

Resprayed the blue over the black & this time it stuck. Removing the old masking tape, took off some of the silver paint, but I’d weather it anyway and this just adds to the effect. Lastly I applied a clear coat.
finished test spraying with clear coat applied

As can be seen in the above picture, I had printed off the lower arm & glued it on. This was part of the test fitting. Decided to just add the arm to the 3D holoprojector and print in two halves. More in next post.
