Well, I finally got the third HP installed and I have to say, I like the way this is turning out.  I am waiting on the PSI diffusers to arrive and come payday, I'll pick up the front and back logic surrounds.

My next step was sanding the pie plates for painting.  I started out with 600 grit wet/dry sand paper to remove the spin lines from where the dome was created, working my way up to 1500 grit.  A couple of hours later, the plates were ready.  I hit them with a couple of coats of self etching primer and wet sanded (2  times) then painted them withe the SBP/CMB combo and clear coat.  You can't really tell how good this paint turned out.  I have to get daylight photos...

Being the eternal nerd, I HAD to lay the pieces in and tape the eye on to get a quick shot.  Again, I NEED to get daylight photos.

Also, my R2 phone cover got here today, complete with HP earphone jack cover.  Yes, I have R2 on the brain.

It will be a couple of days before I have any more updates.  Besides waiting on parts, the remaining work on the dome will consist of sanding and deburring the slag from the laser cuts.  Once that is done, painting the remaining dome pieces and sanding the dome to a nice shine.
