So as some of you are aware, a commission I started nearly a year ago, was nearly complete when the paint finish decided to fail in spectacular fashion. I'd never seen a paint failure like this under the circumstances and it really took the wind out of my sails for several months as I ended up scraping the project and starting anew.
But with the addition of some new equipment in the basement and my real job not hogging up 60hrs a week of my time, I started the project back up with quite a few more improvements as a way of saying thanks to my buyer for a nearly 5 month hiatus.
First I started off with the SLA printed parts. Since he wanted this to be an OOT themed portable, I made some OOT themed buttons and decals.
I then started to reprint and paint the enclosure, which has since been turned to a hammered "Silver" finish which came out better than I was anticipating.
Still have to apply the clear coats but for the most part I'm already much happier with how this is coming out.
