Iron Halo? Why not!

I was still missing something for my Ultra Veteran, maybe Iron Halo? Affirmative! Did quick paper drawing to get right proportions, then 1,5mm pla-plates were used. For spikes, I took plastic rod from sprues and fixed it to electric hobby drill (Parkside brand from Lidl – love it!), then sanding blocks did the job well!…

Base after Tamiya Surface Primer applied – its soo cool to look at primed parts – looking like 3D rendering… After primer…
