Painting the Samovar

I had to paint this two colors, after using white primer.  I used Scotch Blue Tape.  High quality, good stuff.

After the white primer I painted the silver color.

The masking tape worked perfectly.

The I had to use this Extreme Lacquer to paint the rest of the model.

Rust-Oleum is a great product.

Here is an unpainted next to a partial painted version.

The brass one is painted except for the touch up.

It turned out pretty well I think.
 

The Brass Samovar of Genghis Khan

The Brass Samovar of Genghis Khan is an object of veneration in Batman 66 by Bessarovian Cassocks.

So I got a coffee pot from the dollar store to work as a stand in for it.

The colors need work.

But I will repaint it and live with the fact that a coffee pot is not a samovar.

But close enough for this purpose.

Batman for size.

The one on the right has been primer painted and now is masked off so it can be painted a silver tone color on the base, handle spout and top.
 

Deora II and Pink Cars

The Dodge Deora was a custom car built by Dodge in 1965.

It was also one of the first few Hot Wheels ever made.

This is an updated version.

The original was very angular and the surfboards were separate plastic pieces that could be removed.

The silver one is one from a couple years and the surfboards were still removable.  Later we got the white one and the surfboards were molded onto the model, sadly.

Pinkie Pinkston with her dog Apricot and her pink Deora.

They make a nice little collection of cars, enough difference in the paint jobs to make them look good.

Pinkie drives the small sports car on the end.

The Pinkie Pinkston fleet of pink cars.

Holy pink cars, Batman!
 

Two Small Vans

Kei Swap in two different colors.

I use the pink ones from my Batman character Pinkie Pinkston, owner of Pink Chip Stamps.

This one is a generic van.

All just part of the traffic in Gotham City.

The rear engine is a nice detail.
