Fallout 3 Mini Nuke - sanding and priming WIP

Published:
2.1K Views

Description

More work on the mini nuke...

Top row:
left: "raw" PLA print before sanding, two halves plus fins etc, not glued. Earlier attempts and other projects on bench. Too many bombs!
middle: after heavy sanding, first coat of primer, then sanded off. Can see deepest gouges and ridges filled (clear plastic + backlight = very handy)
right: both halves with more filler-primer

Middle row:
After lots of sanding/filling/more sanding. Still more sanding to go. : (
Turbine bit freshly printed, needs sanding etc (who could've guessed), will pop into place inside the end (with a little glue for good measure) once everything's done/painted.

Bottom row:
After even more work, starting to smooth out. Now to glue the two halves and only a few more coats of primer and sanding to go ha ha. Need to start working on the fins/stabilizer. All the inset "holes" will have screw-heads.

All in all happy with the build so far.
