Re: Zeta Flight

Thanks!
I actually experimented with a few different paints on these. Since I didn't know much about painting before I started other than what I've read on custom forums.
For C.A.R.L I used dollar store paints I wanted a grainy junk yard look to him which I think I got only problem its that the paint chips easily.
For Yvwi I again used dollar store paints but mixed it with pledge with future floor polish. I got the mossy forest look I wanted and the paint is much much stronger.

Next for the ogopogo I used a base cost of krylon fusion spray paint this made the cheap dollar store plastic really sticky. I followed it up with a coat if tamiya spray which actually got rid if the stickiness. Gave me the super dark green shiny color I wanted almost like slimy water. Then used some dollar store paint with future for the light green which have it the perfect mossy look and feel. And used tamiya paint for the eyes.

I learnt a lot about paint during this project.
