Did some filling, sanding, added a few detail bits. Primed, initial colour coat & some 'mud' splash. Bolts (yes a lot of the armor plate was BOLTED on) are made from cutting the insulation of a thin wire one at a time!

You must have a lot of patience !!!!! I know what you are dealing with and feel your pain. There are a lot of miniature bolt suppliers out there that I have used ..... the prices for a box of 50 or 100 are cheap. Also, rivets in all sizes and head shapes are out there too. I just use straight pins from a sewing materials store for rivets.

Here are a couple of places you might consider if it meets your needs. Your project looks good !!
