Progress has been slow on my SF, but at least there has been some. The head, showing of the color scheme, is complete. I did run into a few problems, mainly paint chipping, due to the awkward nature in which the instructions have to assemble the head. (They have to put the vulcans on first, which actually sit on top of the rest of the armor pieces) As a result one of the vulcans is busted, but nothing I can't glue. The entire thing will have to be pulled apart anyway so that I can hit it with a proper dull coat at the very end. I had intended to assemble, decal, then disassemble for the coat. However it might be safer to just apply decals without an initial assembly where possible. I just have to plan carefully. Also, I need decals, which I still don't have. They should have shipped from Samuel Decal around the 22nd of January. Following a few botched orders this one got sent via regular post, so no expedient shipping and no tracking number. Booo.
