I would have bumped up the old thread, but I could not stop myself from using this corny thread title. As it suggests, James has since been subjected to his first Bondo job:
...and an intensive sanding job, which quickly served to remind me why I hate Bondo. Never seems to transition well between the surface of the plastic to itself.
The Bondo was applied yesterday, and sanded tonight - a second primer coat was applied not too long ago:
As much as I don't care for the stuff, I must admit that I pleased myself with the way the dome and stack taper turned out. Not bad at all, if I do say so myself:
On a side note, an Aristo Rogers I purchased on eBay as a donor for another accompanying character arrived today. Talk about size difference, particularly as James is G-1. Well, that Rogers won't stay like that for long
