2nd coat of white on and brought inside for some nice curing. Paint is smooooooooth like glass.



while the paint cures. I have been doing some designing. He wants a stormtrooper themed helmet. and one that is based upon the Vaders Fist Corps.



His school colors are Red and White, so I have changed the stripe on the face. So i did a little drawing to see how things might look.

Thanks. He is a badass on the field and a cool kid. It's an honor to do this for him actually. Plus I like doing it.

I have him and his father in a group text showing them the progress. At some point in time I am going to stop sending JP the updates and just send them to his dad. I want him to be totally surprised on the final product.
