UGH! Good Grief!
My inner Charlie Brown has resurfaced.
WHY? Why? Do I screw up?
So I’m somewhere in the middle of my latest project AND I feel intent on actually finishing.
Me being me, I usually start something go halfway and start something else.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
So here I am working on the True Heroes longbow apache.
Thank you toys R us!
I was curious one day about this black helicopter so I bought it when it was 40% off.
And then my daughters saw it….and took it for their Marauder Valkyries.
Turns out my girls like action figures more than dolls, especially my 8 year old.
And she raided the garage found my Joes and have added my Joes to her collection.
I’m pretty okay with that. So I didn’t make a fuss about them taking over my cool black helicopter.
I went and found another one at 50% off and bought one for me to paint.
And the girls were cool with dad’s project.
I decided to mimic natural countershading, like sharks, to paint tiger stripes on it.
I played with masking tape to figure this out, masked the toy in various pieces and painted OD green.
Got advice on dullcote.
Everything is starting to fall into place.
I start putting this thing back together and…
I realized I masked parts when I was tired.
One of my wings is tiger striped in reverse.
And now I can’t believe I did such a bone headed thing.
So tonight, out comes the “goof off” to take the paint off.
So have you ever had a project go smoothly...Until a silly boo- boo turned things sideways?
