CRISIS, WHAT CRISIS! PT 2
“We’re in the endgame now”
Once again I’m going to try to do another model without my trusted beige drybrush. Also as the good Doctor looks quite tricky to paint once assembled I’m going to paint him in parts and assemble later. Not usually a fan of this approach but think it makes sense here.
Next up came assembly and things started to go awry.
Firstly with the paint applied the joins were tough to get into place.
Getting the cape to line up in the ring was especially painful. I had thought I’d cleaned off enough superglue to use a kicker spray but once I took a proper look I realised the joins were very messy. Also I managed to break one of his fingers off which with such a tiny piece was a nightmare to reattach. It was at this point I had to put him down and leave for a few days as I was starting to get really annoyed with the model.
Without my usual drybrush and washes to cover up any small issues I found having to be precise and patient was really winding me up!
Have to say I’m glad to see the back of this one! Tricky one to paint which wasn’t helped by my own planning! Also decided to paint in the runes at the last minute as it needed something to give it some more life. Not overly pleased with the job on the magic ring, definitely think an airbrush would be the way to go here.
