    Nice job sean but you should photograph it on a neutral background so we can see it in all its glory, it looks like its in Magnums bedroom at the minute.

    Good job! Give Krylon Fusion a try, too. Works great on resin, plastics and metals. Nice and easy to work with.

    Paint can easily make or break a great prop. Don't downplay your work, you did a great job.
