Well, I already know a few things I'd do differently on this serpent custom.  Namely, Instead of doing all this work to each piece, I'd still do nub removal as I go, but I'd assembly the whole kit unprimed, and sand down seams and whatnot. Then I'd dssassemble back into sub assemblies (basically solid pieces, taking apart at each joint), and wash those.  Once dry, I'd just mask any interior joint parts, and then prime then paint as assemblies. But anyways, don't expect a lot of progress today.  This is a post to update on why I haven't made progress, though not for lack of effort.  But sometimes, when doing something new, it takes some time.  You've got to try a lot of things, and some wont work, and that's OK, that's part of the process. Just keep experimenting and never giving up. So: I was going to do blue digital camo.  I had like 6mm masking tape as my smallest masking tape.  This stuff: Now, this stuff seems just too wide to get a ...

I'm not sponsored, but I included the Newtype sticker because they had a good site, good selection, good deals, and things got to me pretty quickly.  I did do a lot of shopping around first, so I'll probably put up a post on my findings from that at some point, as several stores were just as worth looking at depending on who had what in stock and the amount and cost/kit of stuff you were buying. Anyways, back to the serpent!  Fun fact, this serpent is old enough to enjoy a nice drink after work (the dials indicate the month and year the sprue was produced). We last left off with the first few steps, the legs and torso, of the kit primed.  Well now we're going to print off a copy of that design we...
