Your colors are looking so vibrant. Love this. and I saw your trouble shooting replacement part post. I did not know what you traced and remade with though.

Beautiful! Your color matching is top notch.

I just did a (non-Rolife) kit this last week and there were soooo many edges to paint - like you, I took 2-3 coats on each in order to get full opacity. :weary_face:

Thank you @SunnyCee :hugs: This time, it’s harder to get straight lines. Normally, there’s a small line in the wood that holds the paint back. With this build, it’s pre-set, and there are no lines in the wood. But with a lot of patience, it works.

Thanks for the tip :hugs: I was thinking about making the railing white with gold too…if it gets too much, I’ll paint the bottom red if I can still manage it.

I would love to see it :star_struck: the Merry go around is easier to paint because it isn’t pre-painted

Thank you :hugs: I used the back and traced the decoration…it turned out quite well :wink:

I’ve discovered that if I first color the edges with a marker and then apply a single coat of paint, it covers better. Coloring with the marker is much faster.

My only concern with merry go round is the chair. It was painted in red already
