Ok,  still Walmart apple barrel colors are pretty cheap,  as little as a dollar or less for a large bottle and clean up with water.  Get a clear seal spray can to protect the pint job and yiu stollsafe money over testor's enamal.

Oh- I have some Wal-mart Apple Barrel colors. I have Forest green, brown and peach.
I bought 25 jars of Testors on ebay for 18 dollars when I first started doing kits again but yes-Apple Barrel is cheap and good quality too.
In fact Godzilla was done with Apple Barrel Forest Green!
I like Testors oily paint sometimes, because it's oily, and I don't want a bold color.Both good paints- but I use them for differant effects.

Well, the Mummy is done.
I made him the color of p**s in dirty snow!
I used black unstirred arylic and wiped it off with a paper towel. So the paint went into the creases of the model. It was a grey model to begin with, so that made things easier. Then I took an oily yellow and just brushed it over lighty. His one eye is green. I try to give them the look of an old comic book.
It was lotsa fun.  :smile:

I'm doing Rat Fink next.  :drink:
I collected built-up models for years - one of my favorites was a Rat Fink!

It all looks great except the cobra. Itcs a very unrealistic color and the color is so glaring it draws the eye away from an excellent paintjob on the mummy. Would recommend a more realistic,  subdued job on the cobra. Look up some pics of Egyptian cobras.

Here are some necron warriors I'm converting. I used their legs for another conversion, and am making them literally phasing up from the ground as necrons sometimes do.

I gotta touch it up- but Rat Fink is done
I only used 4 colors!
The base-I dropped the f**king thing taking it out of my room so Tiana could take a picture-so ah-wtf.

EDIT: Oh yeah- here's a picture of it! I gotta make blood shot lines in the eyeballs, though.
As you can see, by the close up of my sweater buttons, from a distance- you don't see how s**tty it really is.
It looks cool from a distance. And nobody ever sees it anyway. Except for Tiana and me . And My kids and grandkids.

Walmart has models again and they have a lot of sci-fi ones. There are a lot of models from star trek and a couple from space 1999 including the very rare haWk model.

I'm painting now a 4" plastic vampire girl from Mexico.
I'm painting the tiny eyebrows with a toothpick.
Real pain in the ass. :hatred:
