Hi all

this is cross posted from my Terran Marine WIP thread. I'm looking for some more opinions about chest lights.

I've got 3 versions so far and was looking for more opinions/advice to get the best look. Please bear in mind that I am pretty new to sculpting.



The easiest is the version with no further build up, just the holed drilled into the GS. The other 2 versions are slightly different build ups of GS to try and bulk up the lights a bit. I'm concerned that they look too bulky, but would like further ideas from the Meta-Dakka (which is different to Mecha-Dakka [screech])

Any advice for getting smoother armour or smoothing GS after it hardens?

what would be awesome (although maybe a little late) would be to install tiny LED's into the holes, giving them the terran marine look, but I really look forward to seeing these finished. Also, what you could do is make the front panel, and cast it in resin to save you the hassle of having to make loads of them.
