After applying a base coat to two guns, I have realised how much black spray I am using, as my 400ml can is nearly empty. To fix this, on the other half of the Alpha Trooper, I will build up the coat from a higher number of thinner layers, and paint in any hard to cover areas by hand. Hopefully this way I’ll be able to save some paint and money.
When I was applying the second coat to the Raider, I noticed that where I had both halves laid out in the box, some of the paint didn’t hit the gun where I wanted it to (see image below). Taking this into account, next time I add another colour, I’ll assemble both halves of the gun and either spin it round as I’m spraying or spray around it, to provide an even finish.
Oh, and I don’t like Deploy internals. Gonna try and get around painting these bad boys without taking them apart. Also going to research a proper method of unscrewing the buggers so I can try my hand at performing some mods on the interior of the one gun that actually functions.
