It would only make getting the doors open and closed that much tougher. I did not want paint in there if I could help it. Before I did that though, I made sure to "mask off" the seems around the doors. I started by priming the whole thing black. I used a combination of black spray paint followed up with bottle black for touch ups to get this model primed. The final construction of the completed pod will be included in a short follow up post since this one has grown to a near impossible size. A few come with the drop pod and that's great if you're running one of those chapters, otherwise you're out of luck.

The complete drop pod building process can be found here.Įven if you don't magnetize your pod, I'd definitely recommend painting it like this to make it super easy to do. I didn't want to try and paint all the recessed areas afterwards so I made an effort to build it in three sub-assemblies to make this part of the process all the easier. I built it this way I did for three reasons.ģ. Now that I've got this drop pod built and sitting on my desk in three pieces.
