Steampunk ProtoStar, Part 37 - Painting Day!

 The assembled and detailed parts of the build are now ready for application of color coats.

The tail assembly is shot with silver paint, with the main rocket getting the good old Steampunk treatment -copper!

I was very pleased at the results.  The metallic paints seem to really make all of the fine rivet details stand out very nicely.


Once the paint was completely dry, I was able to epoxy the motor mount/tail piece in place.


The model is actually starting to look like a rocket, now.

More to come.....
