In Progress Blackwater 100

[Nick]

I've been spamming up the "Today I worked on" thread a bit too much, and ended up going a bit deeper down the rabbit hole on this game than I initially expected, so here goes . . . .

Particularly happy with how this missing corner of the head unit has come out.

Make a dam for epoxy flood.



24 hours later work through grits.


Go to 2000


Knock back gloss with magic eraser to match finish.


Follow artwork in with paint marker and apply fixative and POOF! Repair vanishes.

Firstly, nice Dunks
Second, how did you repaint. By hand? Or decals? Something else?

 

[Nick]

Just repainted by hand with a posca marker. Just a bit of white across the joint following the original lines. It's very minimal. Then spray a tiny bit of fixative to hold the acrylic and completely hide the line even off axis

 

[Nick]

And then compared to the first pic I fixed up the top with spray paint. You can then use fixative to completely hide the subtle difference in glossiness between new and old paint. Serious hack

Resprayed it's bum and got some stainless mesh for the top vents. There was a big sheet of orange acrylic completely covering the top which did look pretty cool on the ceiling when the flashers went off through those big circles. Might cut that down and mount on the inside with vents in the middle.
