Progress
Thanks to the warm weather I was able to get the main color sprayed today. It only took 4 attemps before I was happy and the airbrush did not spit. I have decided to paint the upper portion slightly different this time after looking at hundreds of images of herring,so I sealed this coat. I will scuff it before the upper color, I hope to spray it soon weather permitting. Then install the eyes and top coat with envirotex lite while its on the spinner using heat to eliminate any air bubbles before it sets up(for those of you that can paint in a climate controlled area this should complete the build).

You are correct on the prototype I used red but I wanted to try gold. And I am not sure I am all that happy with the gold the way they came out but wanted to show how I did them for thoose who wanted to know how so they could make thier own. In the end I may very well go with red but I may also find other colors I like better; it's all part of my learning whats best. It's like the rattle in this one, I will fool with different rattles (different pitch) and may eventually decide against a rattle altogether, I may eliminate the magnet, perhaps make it one piece instead of two, colors,size, weight, etc......so many options so little time. |
