After deciding to run Trenton Marik this weekend, and sadly w/o a RS it will be the stock -7N2, I grabbed one of the KS Riflemen to start painting. I am now satisfied with the primed mini and base layer of white. I will be using the Shyish Purple to do the legs, torso and shoulders while leaving the gun arms white. I am thinking of doing a very pale sky blue as the cockpit glass and put gunmetal on the AC portions of the arms. Anyone painted a Rifleman want to give me any heads up about problem places to get painted?
I am not sure if I will keep this mini as Trenton Marik's since it has been nearly a year & a half since I really painted and this will be #3 since that break. If I DO strip it back down after experimenting with techniques I will then remove the signs of the 2 ERML. Should I do anything at that point to differentiate between the LL and LPPC, like trying to fit some tubing on the LL to give it a fatter barrel or emitter tip?
