Well it is finished. Over all, I am not happy. It was all going very well up until the last hour. I am very pleased with the side pods, behind the side windows and the roof. The masking and painting of the TRANSFORMERS text and the Autobot LOGO also went very well, but I surrounded backed these areas with totally the wrong colours. You see, I was worried that I had too much dark blue and charcoal on the rear of the shell, so used Flu red to try and highlight the TRANSFORMERS logo. Unfortunately the result is far too pink. These photos don’t show it close up in these areas (on purpose). The AUTOBOT logo on the bonnet masked off really well considering the detail, but the white behind this means it is lost and you can’t see it properly. Overall It is OK I guess but the feeling of satisfaction I had about an hour before completion has gone now....
On the bright side, I have learnt a few more painting techniques. I know a bit more about what works and what doesn’t. I have also learned how to slow my heart rate down while cutting liquid mask.. it requires much patience!
