Still working on this model to correct a few inaccuracies, but in the meantime I wanted to experiment with the process of painting and infill with the recessed letters. Happy with the results so far!

Very cool. What's your technique for painting the recessed letters?

Thanks!

For filling in small narrow areas like lettering I start by making sure I have a nice clear coat over the gold metallic. I use a gloss clear acrylic. Then I just smash paint down in the letters and wipe across the surface with a damp towel. The black is flat acrylic so just water to wipe away from the surface.

For the larger areas that get blue paint I’ll use a syringe to fill it in.
