One of the HAWKs, Greg, found these sippy cups at Target on clearance. \u00a0After some repainting, I think they make pretty good shuttle or drop ships. \u00a0See Chris’ blog (link at the top of the page) for a how-to description.<\/p>\n

This is a closer shot of one of the space ships with some Pulp Figures Radon Zombies. \u00a0In the background you can see a Lost in Space<\/em> robot I made from beads and Fimo.<\/p>\n

When trying to pain metallic colors over plastic, I generally prime the entire model with Krylon Fusion matte black. \u00a0Then I spray the metallic color over the black. \u00a0I think you get a smoother finish that way. \u00a0The metallic colors don’t seem to stick well to the plastic. \u00a0I painted the fins with a gloss craft paint. \u00a0I tried gloss red for the nose, but the gloss red I had looked more pink.<\/p>\n
