I've been playing with the Moebius Iron Man kit and here is some progress.
The main power wire runs through the right leg and into the base where a 9 volt battery and switch will be housed.
The paint process is time consuming. The model must be sanded as smooth as possible before the gloss black primer is laid down. Any imperfections found at that time must be fixed and re-primed
Then the Alclad gold is put on and now more little imperfections show up. There was one spot on the upper leg that had to be filled and sanded three times before I could make it go away.
Once the gold is complete and hardened then it can be masked off and four coats of Alclad clear red can go on. After this has hardened for a couple hours the masks can be removed including the mask on the hand impulse unit.
The interior of the hand was coated with thick acrylic black before the LED was installed then hot glue was overlaid and more black paint applied then tested in a dark room to ensure no light leaks. Pictures of that will be along shortly but trust me when I say it was really cool looking.
I started to black out the interior of the torso when I came across an article on lighting kits that talked about brass light tubes to prevent light leaks. I simply picked up a 10cc syringe, cut the end off, painted it with two coats of black, cut off another section and installed it in the chest -- tested perfect.
It is secured with superglue then that was painted with the thick acrylic paint. There's plenty of room in the chest for the main board and all the wiring.
