Progress!

Today was a very very VERY busy day. I have finally managed to sandpaper all the lasercutted parts of the Virtuoso model to the round shapes of the visual design. The parts that were sandpapered today, also had some dimples that needed to be filled with MDF filler. When the MDF filler dried up, I sandpapered it again untill it was smooth.

Next step was to give two white underlayers of paint to the parts of Virtuoso that hadn't been painted yet. The other parts got another layer of white primer. When everything was dry again (which took several hours), I started painting. I choose five colors (fuchia, signal red, bright blue, lemon yellow and broken white, waterbased paint with a 'satin shine' in it).
These colors lay most close to the colors of the initial design of Virtuoso. I especially had trouble finding the right color for the pinkish color on the footplate, because the color wasn't clearly visible in the design. But once I painted the color on the footplate, the color fuchia turned out to be well chosen!


It is a quarter past three a.m. now, it's really a mess, as you can see. I've managed to give every part a second layer of color, so I think the Virtuoso parts are well coated now. The paint needs to dry for six hours until I can apply a new layer of paint on them. So it's time to sleep.

Goodnight!
