I used my normal figure-drybrushing brush & standard gray acrylic ...

things I've learned:

I'm going to need a bigger brush

I'm going to burn a *LOT* of gray paint

I'm going to end up washing this in black ... dang!

Is the green base color painted on or is it the color of the plastic? I've always had a hard time getting dry-brushing to take well unless the base piece was painted.

both ...

i think i'm going to be doing more painting than drybrushing on this exterior ...

i might have to do a wash on some parts first, just to give the drybrush more to adhere to ...

I used a coat hanger, and then left the bent 'tails' a little long ... the holes I drilled were *slightly* undersized, and they hold the hinge bar tightly! Unfortunately I snapped one of the ttbp hinges while manipulating the piece in, which is why you see the greenstuff fix ... haven't had time to paint it ...

next up is to cover all the screw heads with green stuff, & paint the exterior ... then continue working on the interior ... maybe someday i'll actually put joes in it ...
