Pip-Boy Process 2/2

Luckily my favorite filament is a bright yellow. I hollowed out the print with a micro-bit then glued the "bulbs" to the shell, leaving the LEDs to rest behind them.

Build list: 

-XTC 3D Smooth-On product-

Most parts were covered in this after a rough pass. I used small amounts of acetone to thin down the mixture to keep smaller details.

-Vallejo Surface Primer- 

Mostly for super smooth parts. Like the screen bezel and connector port. Not the best primer for paint adhesion. Use a promoter afterwards.

 -Rust-Oleum Filler Primer- 

I used this for everything else. Shot dry for areas with heavy corrosion. Sanded to different smoothness for corresponding real world texture.

-Tamiya Putty Grey-

Thinned down in most cases with Lacquer thinner. Used to fill gaps and hard to reach areas with heavy print lines. -Liquitex Acrylics- -Vallejo Airbrush Paint-

-Vallejo Model Paint-

-Crappy Wal-mart Acrylics-

-Design Master Clear Finish Matte Varnish-

For protecting that precious base paint layer before weathering and after to seal it all up.

-LEDs-

Scale of the Pip-Boy was designed to be worn by my Sole Survivor character: Isaac 

As you can see, he's a big dude. So the dimensions were made to fit his height and my art style.
