Thank you :hugs: It works a bit. You can get up to 150m close, according to the box. It can be folded and unfolded. I’ll make a video when it’s finished.

Me too, to paint the little details on de gramophone. But the little brush works better and i can paint very small details with it (look to the small painting on the wall from the gift factory)

but now there is already a layer of paint on it and that’s why I can’t apply the paint nicely

Thank you @ThaoNguyen I was a bit hesitant at first about whether the copper colour would look good, but now that it’s finished I think it fits really well.

I was in awe that you actually painted that. I did not on my first one.

Thank you @Wenbare :hugs: I hope the hooks stay in place, some are a bit broken but stayed in place, so I just left it like that

I actually want to paint all the details, so I can’t stand not being able to paint the details on the telescope ring. I’ll try again today in daylight.

I’ll swim over :laughing: I think I’m the only one in this community who lives so far away. :sob:

I don’t know much about painting so will colour pencils work on the details? But I guess it won’t be the same finish as paint. :thinking:

I think you live the furthest away :wink: that will be a long swim, good luck!

With the pencils i can’t work as precisely as with the brush I have. I’ll try again today at daylight. Yesterday it was dark and then it’s hard to paint the little details

Ah good point! It’s hard for me to visualise how small the details are but now I get an idea. It just means you’re doing some awesome work. :smiling_face:

It’s looking nice! Thanks for the tips :slight_smile: this is actually another of the (many) reasons why I’m not really into painting my kits :rofl:

What a amazing colours and you still see the carvings in the wood. Maybe use acrylic markers for the front symbols instead of paint?
