The little ship part 2

it's been a a couple weeks so I figured post another picture of the dirty details.

I finished up the majority of the painting for the "Aztek" patern, I used Mask Dummy's masks, they seem to be wonderful but the test is when I go to peel them .process: paint a colour, then mask over said colour. it's a time consuming process with dry times. I know when I paint I always get bleed through on the next coat so after the mask I did a light colour of the same colour to prevent the next colour from bleeding.i custom mixed 5 blue greys and the nose tan. I'm hoping they work since the process doesn't show you how things are jiving.

I'm currently in the process of installing the painted clear parts. So far I've placed, glued and filled with Vallejo plastic filler. neet to do a second or third pass in realising. I didn't think the fibre optics wire was going to be so noticeable behind the clear blue . I debated deleting it but said fuck it , send it.

I have the red grills painted red but still need to be detailed up before glueing up.

also debating using the small clear parts for phasers since since I have fibre runs to those spots anyways.

Ayways I'm enjoying the process and we are into third winter up in here in Sask. so nothing but time to sit and work on it. so many wasted hours of enjoyment lol.

What do you think? I think I've made a few bad choices but we're in send mode.

First time painting a figure in many years. Turned out better than expected.

It's the Flame Toys IDW Optimus Prime kit.

I put together one of these years ago, but messed up and broke the hip articulation. I bought a second one which has been sitting on my shelf for at least a year.

I decided I wanted to do a full, if basic, paint job with rattlecans, which worked out well. I didn't plan on much weathering, but got a bit carried away in the end.

I really enjoyed it, and it certainly looks a lot better than the bare plastic.
