      So, primer's dry and I can take a look at the cowl after all the work.   I sprayed the inside black primer, the outside grey. There needs to be a recess for the flag badge at some point. I'll get to that. The grey primer shows the fit to the dome is much improved, and that I still need to do some work on the top slot to get it symmetrical. On the whole not bad though.   More later.       Been doing some work on the neck cage. As you've seen, I designed the little neck ring blocks so the ball is separate, and covers the screw heads. I've always felt the Ironsides were a bit uniform (no pun intended) in their overall one shade of green. I didn't want to have the little balls in brass, as they'd stick out too much, didn't want green because they wouldn't stick out enough. Didn't want black. So, I chemically patinated one of the brass balls to give it an aged dark brass colour, quite brown. I use these chemical treatments a lot to age new brass down. You can control the degree of patinaton. My thinking is it's an organic colour and should work well with the drab green, but will also read as a different colour, a separate piece. I like the result.

      So, today I was working on the cowl again. I popped it off the dome and took down all the new filler with rasps, then sandpaper, then wet and dry. Since I got this cowl, the wobbly nature of the ID badge recess has bothered me. So rather than spend days naffing about with it, trying to get it straight and square, I filled it in. I'll cut a new one later, to fit the Union Jack graphic when the time comes. I also modified the sides of the cowl aperture to be a bit thinner, and straightened up the eye stalk slot in the top. I spotted a dip in the top area above the slot, so levelled that too. Got all the nicks and dents filled around the edges. My hand is still on the mend, and I caught it funny and it cramped and I dropped the cowl... chipping a couple of pieces out of the new edge. So I went back and filled those again. It's sanded down to 240 grit now, and is actually flat, despite what your eyes might tell you. I'll prime it to see what the surface is like and if there are more nicks to fill. You can see from the pics how much better it fits now, and this is without being tightened down with the bolts. Could have got a slice of bread in the gap before 😆   More later.
