Shell Prep

I took about 20-30 minutes to clean off my ABS plastic Shell before painting. This is done to get dirt and dust off.

Most guides say to use mild dish soap, but I only had whatever ultra oxy Palmolive is. I was gentle and light when using it, just in case. 


I gave the shell a shower, let it dry for at least 30 minutes, and wrapped the shell in some loose plastic to protect it from further dust.


I plan to keep it wrapped up until painting time. 

On a side note, I also cut some more thin wooden dowels for some of the side Greeblies. I embarrassingly forgot to cut enough out for both sides. I'll paint those when I paint the shell.
