This is Revell's kit #7640 Alternomad. This kit was fun to
put together. This is a #2 skill level with some skill level
perks. I found this to be interesting and in some case nice
as far as the assembly of the kit is concerned. With this kit
I tried to do something different with the paint. While I was
in a A.C. Moore with the Mrs. I was looking around in the paint
section and a powder substance. I looked a little closer and
found out that it was a pigment that you can either add to the
paint or apply afterwards while the paint is still wet. I oppeted
for the adding it to the paint. It turned out ok I currently
don't know If you can see the final turn out untill I see the
actual picture. The powder that I added to the paint is supposed
to add change in color depending on what direction you are looking
at the car from. This is kinda like what Ford has done with
some of its paint schemes on their cars. This is my first attempt
at it and I will try again with my next kit. This kit is also
my first attempt at flocking. I bought some flocking that also
came with its own bottle of glue that matched the flocking.
It turned out ok but, next time I am going to put a paint that
is very close in color on first. I am hoping that it will turn
out better. If anyone has tips on flocking or other things to
us for painting and how to thin them go ahead and pass them
along and I will post them for you.
