OK got all the black paint done, and another coat of filler on the claw...now I need a few coats of filler inside the claw...I use a new paint to paint the black on his head...it's Mr.Color gundam paints, it is acrylic enamel..when I added the hardener it webbed...the paint was stringy when it came out of my airbrush. So I guess I can not use a hardener with this brand..however a hardener MUST be used with Testor paints, or they will feel sticky, and soft !! I will post the pix in a few hours

Well I made a little more progress, I didn't have the exact materials I would like to use, but it gets the point across.

The claw still needs spikes where it attaches to the upper arm..Ill put them on tomorrow...i think I should use either a light grey, or a white for the claw and other forearm and hand..in the Anime, it looks silver, but some scenes it looks white ? So i tried chrome...but not really liking it !!
