here are some cutoms i wanted to show

well since I feel generous I did another custom actually finished a custom an oc I made aka a custom character ad that is Taylor started in July and finished in December took pictures of various stages
 wheel painting

 the parts I would need that are essential for it to be put together 

 red paint wasn't good so I decided another way of applying it I chose cream because its kind of like white and it would make the red pop out a bit more

 here it is being painted cream tested dark green as another layer

 body that was painted cream

 the back was cheap paint but was somewhat decent

 here it is it being assembled to see how it would look like it being cream (no screws)

 was painted red and then fully assembled (no screws)
I thought I was done I was far from it had to do multiple coats of red paint and cream in other areas was a bit of a pain to do the wheels wouldn't rotate so I went to a pillow ad went back and forward it worked fixed some chips with black sharpie not the best tool 
all I needed were nameplates windows and a face the windows I took sticker paper and used my Murdoch windows as reference and painted in sharpie nameplates were custom made in photoshop and printed in sticker paper and the face was done by normal A4 printer paper I also decided to paint the whistles with gold sharpie very carefully and the silver on the smoke deflectors to improve it

 the face close up

 the model done and it being screwed in the places it need it 
overall I kind of put it on hold and then decided to complete it so I guess layers of good paint and then putting cheap paint in later was the only way I achieved this moral of the story if you want good paint don't go to Poundland to buy it as its really bad and only worked because it had layers of better paint behind it multiple I sometimes do at least 3 or more layers of paint as that's when its better thanks for reading and have a good day
