Hence...grain of salt

Just listened to that recently. I could see this being a thing.

I also couldn't believe how graphic it was for how old it is.

Which service are you using for this?

I had a .25 nozzle for small details but swapping is a pain in the ass with having to heat up to unscrew it. Then my heater block moves with it. Then you have to hope you don't drop the hot nozzle on your bed and dent it (I know). I tend to print a variety of things so being able to quick swap will be nice.

I appreciate all the tips, I'm not very artistic at all, and it probably would have looked a lot worse before everyone here commented lol. I want to do it right, so I probably won't get it completely done before I take my kids trick or treating. So my current goal is to at least get it primed, sanded, and the base coat of paint on. I still have to cut the face shield I got, tint it and mount it inside. I saw some pics that gave me some ideas. Would you recommend velcro tape for the interior for foam pads and the face shield, so it's all removable? Or do you have a better method?

I didn't even know that was a thing, looks like I'm returning the primer I got. Thanks.

I was debating on giving it a worn/rough look. I still haven't really decided. I think I'm going to shoot for a red/black theme with red being primary. Probably a darker red and I was thinking of using a matte black. I just am not sure about how I'm going to utilize the black.

Definitely going to be priming it tomorrow though. Then I need to run somewhere and pick out my colors.

I guess you're just assuming prices are the same everywhere. I wish it was.

Agreed, never had anything good from Tyson. We also stick to Perdue or Giant's store brand which has been pretty good as well. They tend to have less of that "woody" chicken breast.

Did you serve for 8+ years or has it been 8 years since your original enlistment date?
