This is my first repaint. I know megs gets done to death, but I figured hed be the easiest to start learning since he doesnt have many colors. Now Ive learned some lessons here. Dont think Im going to use enamels anymore. They are just too messy. Im also wondering how some folks painted his left hand and the other part behind his neck (attached to back). seems the paint isnt wanting to dry. feels tacky. I used a dark flat gray for the base and alluminum for the primary. mixed gold with rust for the trim. And as you can tell Ive got lots of learning to do. Ive seen some great work here and thought Id show my meeger lame attempt. been practicing with my sons old broken toys and finally gave it a whirl.
use tamiya or another kind of acrylic paint for those soft plastic areas that you are having trouble with. but make sure no enamel paint is left on them
Monte, my only critique would be to contact a moderator and have the thread title changed. Seriously. There's no shame in that repaint right there!
the lame was meant for hoe everyone is doing megs. thank for the positives. just cant get his left hand to dry. d=so tacky feeling. even after a week. cant figure out a good way to get those hard green spots. thanks guys.
