Three ounces of paint aint what it used to be.
... I did break down and buy 2 cans of primer today. I do actually feel shitty about it.
But I couldn't leave my C1 just dangling 1/3 primed.
It was perverse to me.
Anyway, I already own all the other materials I need for this experiment.
Gonna paint stripes on the body for a shading effect, and then I'm gonna paint over with olive drab.
... profit?
Fuck... I didn't prime the head.
And that's... actually fine because I have no idea what to do with that damn thing.
Its uuuh...
alright head comes in 8 pieces right?
samurai helm front
samurai helm back
V fin
rubber neck
eyes
mouth/chin piece
2 side vents
...
alright?
The sidevents are a different color
the eyes are 2 colors (background and eyes themselves)
the helm is one color
the V fin is at least 2 colors (center and the fins themselves)
the chin is a different color than the rest of the mouth
...
we're talking MILIMETERS here people.
... so I'm a bit bashful on priming it, assembling it, airbrushing it, masking it
etc.
I'm ... possibly gonna prime certain parts of it
but there's another option...
see the 2 helmet halves actually house all the other parts right?
Like an interlocking clam shell
but if you hack off a few connectors, and just glue the head into place- you avoid some serious bullshit.
People do this for gundam/Gm heads.
*sigh*
course you start talking in these terms and ... bad/crazy shit is bound to happen.
I also dunno if I want the head/helmet to be khaki, OD or a mix.
I'll think about it some more...
maybe after dinner... and bad ass movies.
