You shall have to wait and see ;)
It's my first ever build so I'll be asking lots of questions.
Ask away, we all love questions. Don't forget photos, we all REALLY love photos. :)
Sounds like a fun build Matt. Can't wait to see some progress.
This is going to be brutal.
Thanks guys :) Ok, so I'll let a little more out of the bag and give you an idea of what I'm wanting graphically. For those of you not familiar with Biomech style airbrushing I've included some pics. I'm hoping for a combination of slightly oxidised checker plate or riveted plate steel with the biomech over the top, or I might go for a biomech skull.

Yep, brutal. This will be epic.
\\m/ I'm glad you like the ideas so far, Andrew. Quick question for you guys if I may? I've noticed the body has some scuffmarks on the front and back - are these better sanded by hand or use a spray primer/filler and then sand? Will post pics after feeding the rugratsQuote:

Hey Matt,
Love the biomechanics skulls. Hope you go in this direction :) . Killer. If you are painting then you have both finishing options open to you - to sand out marks if they aren't too deep, or to fill them (I would recommend Timbermate). If painting you will have to pore-fill anyway prior to applying the primer, so Timbermate is great for both purposes.
Cheers,
Gav.
Nice to see some Giger action on. looking forward to seeing this build come together
What gav said, but post a few pics so we can see what's going on.
Champion! Thanks for the heads-up Gav. Is Timbermate available from hardware stores, wood working suppliers or Luthier supplies?Quote:
