Bought this raw cast from Doopydoos 5 or 6 years back and finally got around to working on it. Its been sleeping on the shelf way to long.
Planning to add lights and sounds once I get the pint job finished. Here is my progress so far.
It came fullly assembled/glued together so I cut off the viewfinder end at the seam.
Black primer coat
Painted another coat with grey and then some metallic dark iron paint for the weathering effect. (Sorry I did't document this step)
The painted it white using the toothpaste method to help the paint chip off.
After removing the toothpaste
I am not particularly happy with my first attempt at weathering with the chip off effect so I might sand it down smoothly and repaint it white again. Once I get the chipping areas better balanced and more natural I will apply the dirt weathering.
Any thoughts? Advice? Would like to get some feedback so I can make this look better.
