Old Collingwood Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share #961 Posted May 26, 2021 For anyone curious about my painting of the tiny buttons - I have to hold the figure till the light catches the shadow of the button then using my finest brush 00000 (5/0) then with the finest bit of paint on the tip just touch the button more like a glancing blow, that using my optovisors - biggest problem is keeping my hand still enough.

Old Collingwood Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share #962 Posted May 28, 2021 Evening all, I managed a couple of hours on the build this evening, I couldn't do more as I am in the middle of a house paint and its taking up all my time and energy "boy do my limbs ache after so long of none use" so straight on with painting the back packs, I had already painted the Great Coats next was the Brown of the actual packs - after drying these I worked on the straps then a bit of touch up, still a fair bit more to do.

Indeed Mark, trouble is I am waking up parts of me I have not used for ages - kind of got out of condition and lazy lol, I have Six doors to paint both sides Seven Door Frames the whole lengths of skirting including down the staircase - but trying to do it clean without splashes so I am using my trusty small brush - Hard wearing emulsion on the doors and satinwood on the frames and skirting. Down stairs is done. OC.

mtaylor Posted June 2, 2021 Share #971 Posted June 2, 2021 That sounds like a job and a half, OC. I understand about our bodies yelling at us... Mine's been screaming a lot lately. How small is the brush? Not one you use for your figures I hope. Many decades ago I did housepainting but decided it wasn't the career path I wanted. Anyway, the head guy showed me how to use a 4" and 6" wide brush on trip without taping and without splattering paint all over. It's helped me over the years whenever I had to paint a house.

Yep its a 2.5 Inch brush - its my fave decorating brush - I used to decorate for a living when I was younger hotels mainly, I had more equipment back then but to be honest I just want to make this job a low fuss attempt, its going OK taking it a stage at a time and so far no mess at all even with no sheets down or newspaper cutting in where the skirting meets our carpets is ok all down to a good brush I learned over the years.

CDW Posted June 2, 2021 Share #975 Posted June 2, 2021 My wife loves to paint the house, inside and out. She re-paints the inside every few years and goes through it like lightning. Me, I would have paint all over everything if I didn't have covers on the floors and furniture. Even then, I always seem to manage to get paint somewhere unintended. Sometime before this coming Fall, I have to strip all the furniture out of our bedroom, put down new flooring and repaint everything. Not looking forward to that.

Old Collingwood Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share #980 Posted June 2, 2021 Evening all - so between painting wood bits around the house (did down one side of the stairwell today) I have managed to put some paint on my little drummer, normal precedure - I started with the Black primer this was heated to speed up drying time, then I started with the face basic light skin coat first (couple of coats) then the hands - this was followed by a wash then more light skin followed by more of a rosey pink for the cheeks and slightly darker for the mouth, then the Shako cover got a couple of coats of Matt Black pom pom Red, and hair painted Brown then the side Brass straps, then it was time to do the White body straps.
