I sure with someone would repro at least the kickplate art.

A member PM'ed me the info on these paints- Liquitex "Glossies" enamel paints: http://www.liquitex.com/Products/paintglossies1.cfm

It's supposed to be a near perfect match if you put it on smooth, even when light shines on it.

Paint sounds like a big pain to me
Here's mine now done....

You can see up in the top right where I figured out something was wrong! ;

Wow- looks great! Did you say you used a red sharpie marker??

 

[andys80s]

yes..just a red sharpie. Now that is has had a bit to dry I think its a little dark...Ill just have to set it out in the sun! It looks a ton better though.

Use some white model paint or even some whiteout to put the shine on those gems that didn't get it. Nice touch-up BTW!

interesting thread. the cab i picked up yesterday has this exact same effect. sides are great, and the hat on the front is red, but all the other red in the kickplate is missing.

I'll second that. When I bought mine, I was under the impression that side art was available. I was thinking of the noice pic. Art as nice as Crystal Castles' really deserves a second go. Mine had a chunk of the sideart missing. I'm in the process of painting in the missing portion, but I'd love some shiny new art on this one.

good work, looks a lot better colored in with the sharpie. that's the easiest way to touch up the art rather then replacing.
