Savage's Fusion Generator

Once I had the milliput sanded smooth I figured it was time to hit it with some filler primer to see how much work I had left to do to come up with an acceptable surface.  I also decided to throw in some of the other lid parts so I could get started on them as well.  I had printed the heat sinks with supports on the bottom to accommodate the peg on the that inserts into the main lid piece. They came off easily, I just grabbed the support structure with my thumb and index finger and twisted it and it came right off.

      

I grabbed an old piece of plywood that was lying around and drilled some holes in it so I could stick the pegs on the back of some of the detail pieces into them, so they wouldn't blow off the board when I was spraying them.

Then I just placed all the rest of the pieces I was spraying around on that same piece of plywood and sprayed it with a coat of filler primer

All in all I was happy with the results. There are still some areas that I need to hit with more glazing putty and re-prime, but that was to be expected. The process is pretty much always; fill, sand, prime, repeat.  I've never had it just come out perfect the first time.

The tops of the coil sockets was one of the particularly bad places. I'll definitely have to do something about those.

And of course, just to keep myself motivated to keep working on this project, I had to fit all the pieces I currently have together to see how it would look

I think it's gonna be pretty cool when it's all said and done
