Sorry it took a few days longer to get these pics done. Finally got the 1/4 slice trimmed and primed. There were a few shallow spots here and there. Had to get out the ole spot filler. It doesn't matter how careful you are, there's always a few high and low spots. Even if I Cnc'd this thing, you'd still have mill marks to contend with. So here's a few more pics, Enjoy.
After a few coats of filler primer, filled in the low spots with Filler putty.
Another primer coat, then hit it with a little drywall spackle compound. I like to use this to fill small spots in primer. It sands great, and filled those little spots easier.
The last few primer coats. I think I'm close now. Still want to throw on a black guide coat, to check for any sneaky spots that I may not see with my poor eyes, Then it's on to making the other half of this thing, Argg !
Couldn't wait to see what a full dome will look like. Threw a pic together in Photoshop to get a sneak peek.
Now on to making another quarter dome. Got a few tricks for this. Don't want to go through the same hassles for a new section. Stay tuned, Cheers,
Joe
