As those of you who have been following this project--or have the figure--know, the left forearm is a separate piece comprised of the gauntlet and flight helmet. This is the sole remaining piece to be attached to an otherwise assembled figure.
But first, the painting of the item! I decided at the outset that I would paint the bowl of the helmet as bare metal, a not-so-subtle allusion to the subject's nickname. I did this using a basecoat of GS Mr.Metal Iron over "polished" flat back, with highlights picked-out in Stainless Steel.
The balance of the helmet--and the piece!--will be done in varying tones of dyed and stained "leather". Once the cuff of the gauntlet and the left ear piece are done, I intend to permanently attach the piece to the figure, thus concluding assembly.
Stay tuned!
UPDATE 23.04.17. . . The left forearm has been permanently attached. Figure assembly is now complete!
