Prepairing to paint the Power Hub
Thought I would post this has it has taken a few hours to do my prep to paint and if I jumped right into painting it may not make sense. Most of the initial painting will be done with an airbrush for speed and then go in after and put details in by hand.
As I Advised bellow I am parting out some of the painting to make this faster and easier before the final painted assembly before washing etc.
I made a laser cut template to do my hazard lines to ensure these match up properly no matter which pair I use. this should putting on the masking tape after painting yellow very easy.
I used very poor non sticking masking tape to mount all the thin card pieces I will be painting yellow.
I mounted all the power bricks and aligned them all together. With the hope of being able to run strips of masking tape down to paint the red stripe on them. I don’t think this will work but I will try and if not make a painting Jig. |These include standoffs on the back side.
All the handles have been stuck down I will paint them all orange then one strip of masking under and over the top then spray grey.
The light sections for the power brick are all ready to paint then tick on and then some hand painting then the tiny balls added.
The side vents are ready to be put on again with small standoffs so that they don’t end up with a large line through them. I still need to add the hinges but that’s future Soap’s problem.
Almost ready to start to paint. I hope this will come together quickly so I can go onto a brand new building.
Still wondering if I should paint them both blue or if I should go for another colour on the second one. This may need to wait to Friday so I can give it the time it deserves.
