Howdy folks! Last week I got an Iron Giant bust casting, and I have some
questions for the resident paintmasters please. I've got to clean up the
bust and remove the flash and extra material where the mold came together.
How best should I go about this so I don't mess it up - files? X-acto knife?
Emery board? Something else that is better still that I don't know about?
After that, would like to know what primer would be best to use.
Certainly grey would be my choice given his overall color scheme.
My last question is what paint would be best for him? I'll be just purchasing
the small aerosol cans of paint available at any model shop, so if there is
anything special I should look for or do, please let me know. I'll spray his
overall color, and then do any detailing like his eyes and any outlining like
his teeth, by hand with a brush.
I hope to make this a great looking item for my collection, so thanks for any
information that will help me do that!
Here's a finished example for reference:
