White undercoats were sprayed.
Two separate coats, light sanding between coats to remove any glue boogers and rough areas.
The Key Lime Green Rustoleum paint followed.
No masking, just a light green overall. The decals and decor pieces will make the model.
I should have made the fingernails on water slide decal paper.
For the prototype they were cut out of blue trim Monokote.
It was hard to get them to the right oval shape, some were very small.
(In the kit these will be water slide decals)
Three nails were cut for two hands, six in total.
(In the kit the hands will have just two fingernails)
12 more were cut for the four nails on the three feet.
They were places on the tip of my hobby knife. Nothing was burnished down until the spacing was right. It took a few tries to get everything in place.
