Painting. This thing has 10 to 15 hours of painting. Now lets cover the nightmare that happened in creating this paint job. I really liked it in just the tan with the red and black but it was not in the cards. Often, not always, If I do camo it means the paint was not working well for me but if I distress it over the camo that means things were really bad. The problem was doing the detail. My normal process is to paint the details followed by a touch up on the background colors to cover the slop. problem was I didnt have a matching tan. I tried about 3 and none of them were perfect. I settled on one that (late at night) I thought was really close. The next day when I looked at it with fresh eyes I realized it was not even close to the original color. To try to fix the blotchy spots of the wrong color tan I decided to over brush it roughly over the entire thing giving it a uniform tan. But once that dried I decided that the over brushing did not look wonderful. At that point I decided I would do a 3 tan camo. the camo was looking great with only 2 problems. First problem was all 3 colors were very close and light in shade so they did show up but lacked the contrast I desired so I decided to add the brown twigs. The second problem was huge though. After painting the other two tans on top of my first overbrushed tan I discovered that the first tan was more of a desert rose, it had a definite pink tint to it. I had a pink truck. I do not have a problem with pink but it did not feel right for the Beast. At that point I gave up and just decided to weather it. I should add in that looking back I think that the tan I used to over brush that finished with a pink tint must have been a bottle that I was working on turning into skin tone. Oops

All things considered, now I'm even more impressed with how well it turned out.
Also, the origin of the pink panther was from WWII North Africa British Desert Pink jeeps. So respect the PINK! Pink Panther

That is about the color it was LOL. I am partially color blind so some reds and greens allude me. That is why I did not notice the pink tone until after adding the other tans on top of it.

Thanks, I just wish I could afford to send the finish builds to Blood and pay him to paint my stuff. That would make my life so much less stressful. I would be unstopable. LOL At least until I ran out of cash to pay for the paint jobs. I guess that would keep me from getting too carried away.

I was already using styrene when I first found your tutorial but I learned a lot of new tricks and useful knowledge from you. Your promotion of Bondine is what led me to start using the PVC cleaner which is a huge part of my hobby now.
