PROJECT: Lobo

[farlo]

not to necropost, but are you still working on this project?

Lobo will be making a return to a forum near you in the next week or two. I'm basically at the point where everything left to do has to be done outside because of fumes/mess and I'm waiting on the weather - the paint and lacquer I'm planning on using shouldn't be applied below 10c for best results - so just watching the weather forecast.

This project is DEFINITELY not dead - just dependent on the weather for a month or so...

Arise dead project!!!!

Ok so it's been what, 7 or 8 months since I last posted an update here in this log.... The project ground to a halt because of weather - 90% of what needed doing needed to be done outside and it was rapidly headed for winter. The months pass and the seasons change and by the time the weather improved enough, I'd managed to mis-place several of the parts. As of today, I found almost all of them. The one missing piece I'm aware of is a simple corner brace which I can easily fabricate....

Now that I have all the parts again, I figured I should keep them safe this time. You've all met Hemi (a.k.a. Modkitty) the black and white cat who always manages to sneak herself into a photograph or two when I'm doing reviews. Time to introduce Hershey - he's acting as a temporary guard kitty on the lobo parts pile....

Unfortunately, the parts aren't the only thing which is back - so is the rust.... I didn't do a massively thorough job getting rid of the rust and apparently, I should have....

Here's the main side panel

With rust on 3 of the corners grrrr

And the opposite panel

With rust on just the one corner...

As it happens, I plan on sandblasting the complete chassis I'm using for my latest project "Unimatrix" so it won't be any great problem to do the "Lobo" panels at the same time....

Update this weekend (hopefully) as long as the weather holds out heh.... Having said that I have a friend who has a shipping container he uses for blasting so I may go see him and get it all done in one go - then everything will be ready for etch priming and priming at once....
