Sunday Update

I've had a busy day, but not got quite as much done as I'd hoped.

Fast 4WDs

These have had two coats of gloss varnish. Now I need to prep and paint the weapons, then I can do the final assembly. It wasn't worth taking a pic, so I didn't!

Enforcers (or "How To Make Hotwheels Treasure Hunt Collectors Cry")

Yes, the four "treasure hunt" Enforcers have been stripped and I've started repainting them. Before that I used the Dremel to sand down the posts, then tapped them. If you're wondering why the one on the right is upside down, well, I had a minor accident and snapped the tap inside the drill hole.

Bodies primed

Bases primed (no longer lurid yellow) 

Bodies sprayed with pearlescent silver

 Once the silver had dried, they got a coat of gloss varnish, then a light coat of hairspray - yes, I'll be chipping these.

Inserts primed - black over the main part, plate mail on the weapons

Two stages of "rust" with hairspray coats in between

Pearlescent copper for the  windscreens

Since taking the pics, I've done a black wash over the weapons. Tomorrow night I'll drybrush them with a steel colour then gloss varnish the whole insert.

I'll also do the top coats (red, yellow, green, blue) on the bodies and maybe do some light chipping. After that it's gloss varnish and assembly.
