It’s finally nice enough to get busy with painting Beldar. The fins looked pretty good after the accidental painting they got a while back. During the prime sessions, I was going for a final and grabbed the Winter Gray by accident. Well, it looked like it might be an OK mistake on the undetermined color scheme, so I gave it a second coat of gray. A few weeks passed and I got around to cutting the vinyl I designed and applied those a couple days ago.
This weekend made for some great painting if I dodged the winds a bit and got a few more rockets finished. Beldar’s color had to be mixed and matched so I grabbed the leftover yellow, white and cranberry red I had in the leftover bin of auto paints and went at it. I got reasonably close to the face print I have and there will have to be a little blending after I get the face applied. Once it was somewhat dry enough, I peeled back some of the mask and applied the black to the back. I know that pic doesn’t show you much but nonetheless, the progress is in motion. Once that dries, I’ll apply the face and start doing the touch-ups with the remaining “flesh” color and airbrush the back of his coat in.
