well a while i ago i purchased a P2 from Lee (usurper) and i have to say the thing is awesome, but because of that i didn't want to use my old crappy airbrush that splatters and in generally poop to paint it. So i started to find bits on ebay for an old aerograph 63 i had laying around that had seen better days, and months later, new needle, new head, complete sonic clean and alot of tlc it is working, and it works well.
so plucking up some courage i started to paint this P2 head, i never intended it to be a P2 style paint up when i started and didn't really have any style of pred in mind, just wanted to see what popped out. this is the first time i have used a dual action airbrush which took a little getting used to but was loads better than a single action i had. but anyway, on to pics
i test fitted the teeth, well the ones that would stay in with out holding them anyway
after a few hours painting here is where i was, looking at the pics i took i came to realise i hated what "spots" were on his head, while painting i thought i brought them further forward
a lick of paint on the side of his face and head, started to bring the spots further forward
and this is pretty much where he is atm
i have added his quills before i topcoat him completely, but i am not pleased with his mouth, i am thinking of blending his lower mandibles to creamy white more but the inside of his mouth looks too pink in my eyes, i plan to darken this if i can. i am starting his teeth now and will glue those in before finishing him with permawet (well liquitex)
overall i am pleased with how he has turned out but sadly i fear i might have to sell him financial situation isn't looking great atm but i am trying to find ways i can keep him
