Manstein, the shield was totally painted freehand by me, and is not moulded on. The progress images and text on how I done it are somewhere on this forum.
I did and always use a black primer.
As regards body hair, i'm not really up on the technique and its somethin' that really needs to be done well otherwise it'll end up a mess as you can imagine. I'll have to do some research and find some tips and techniques on the subject before I have a go at it.
Thanks, Paul.
