A
fantastic day where a lot was done and several goals was achieved.
Amongst those was the successful assembly of several important
pieces. Not to mention the lovely but time consuming painting
process. Foam has a quite terrible surface for anything spray paint
related. In essence the surface becomes dull, drab and very rough.
This is due to evafoam being a very spongy material that absorbs
paint. Which is why I had to add a coat of black primer to the
surface of various pieces. Even though I have gone with a very
glossy metallic Finnish. The pieces on the 3d model seems to be a bit
toned down. However that is something weathering can fix. One thing I
did invest in was extra expandable nozzle for the spray can. They
seem to have a thing for getting clogged after a while, without a cap
on top.
That
being said, there a numerous details on the gun, such as stickers,
markings and Chinese symbols. I did one for the gas canister and it
turned out okay. Felt markers are awesome for such details it seems.
I’m still going to give a old dederant bottle some attention and
see if that will work better as a gas canister. By now I’ve also
assembled several of the pieces and found a decorative lense to have
in front. Some cardboard was sacrificed in a futile attempt at making
the front ring.
