PG Strike Freedom WIP 09: Awww, Shit

It's been a while since I updated the progress on this kit. I ran into issues last week during an unexpected temperature drop. I didn't notice that the temperature had dropped ten degrees from the previous day to the high 40's. That difference in temperature was just enough to ruin the dull coat on a dozen or more pieces that I had spend the previous weekend applying decals on. An example below. The blotchy piece on the left was coated in the colder weather, the piece on the right the day before.

Since then I have sanded and repainted most of those pieces and hope to apply more decals this week. Luckily I didn't ruin the shoulder pieces. I'd have to order a whole new set to replace them...

At least a little bit is done...
