Fully assembled missile launcher.
Added fins to missile and primer coated.
The green is a little darker than expected, might consider trying other brands/colors of green spray paint for remainder body pieces.
Rubber coated the other two tires and primer coated parts for back assembly.
Started working on trim pieces for under chest assembly, the storage bin grey plastic material is much more flexible material than the black plastic used on Prowl.
Not sure if I want to rivet these on before or after final coat of exterior paint, depends if I want the rivet heads to show or not against the green.

Over the past two weeks I have made some moderate progress on Hound.
Cut out sockets for chest headlights, using small funnels for LED's enclosure and similar 9v wiring done with Prowl.
Continued working on boot assembly, trying to get a finalized frame with PVC that will allow decent ease of taking boot on and off. So far I have the correct frame for supporting the outer fender.
I may have to devise a swivel or hinge on the corner of frame.
Whatever the final result, have to duplicate and mirror the assembly for the left boot.
Sprayed primer on more parts, while weather was cooperating.
This weekend worked on torso and missile launcher for Hound.
Riveted a few brackets to attach Jeep front to chest protector, trying to get correct angle for hood and room to wear helmet.
Also did a few base primer and sanding to hood, I'm a little worried about the sun fade on hood, primer should fill the cracks.
Started throwing together ideas for the missile launcher designs.
I went with 3 inch PVC parts for the launcher and so far looks great.
The green missile cone I found at A.C Moore, and the orange one is from a funnel kit at Harbor Freight Tools.
This time I used rivets with plastic tabs on the inside missile cones instead of glue to hold together.
