I'll just edit this as I complete things. I plan on being finished with the controller by Friday (only the paint job that is).
If a mod wants too, lock the other thread or delete it (but locking it is a better idea since there's some good info).

So here's my WIP (work in progress) log so far:

1/9/0712:26 AM
Here's the deal. I have a couple extra controllers as well as a controller shell (poor thing was in the road so I took it in and fixed it up with the thought of painting it in the future). I decided I really need a new project to work on, so I've already taken apart and sanded the controller.

I'm about to go prime it with the leftover citadel colors primer I have from when I was making and selling Warhammer figures. I know what design I'm going to paint on it but I'm going to keep it a secret.

Also, it will probably take a little longer than it normally would because if all goes as planned, I'll be making a picture tutorial and putting a video up on YouTube.

I just got finished priming the controller. I had forgotten how fast Citadel dries! I was able to do a second coat after 5 minutes!

I'm going to let the second coat dry overnight. I actually might have this all finished by Friday, considering the camera I got for the holidays takes video and has some sweet editing software. I still want to do the idea I was thinking of, but if you all have any requests, I might change my mind.

Oh crud :cuss: I just remembered, I don't have clear coat left over.... I'll have to stop at my craft store tomorrow.

I'll add pictures later of my work so far and the older warhammer guys

Here's an update for you all. These are the base coats. Anyone wanna take a stab at what the theme is?

Does it involve naked androids? :D

That paint looks really uneven. Does the sealer smooth it out or something?

NGE it is :)

Which part? The black or the red? The black was sprayed on (albeit after I hand painted a black coat because I didn't have spray at the time :/) and the red is smooth now (went over it a couple times it looks a lot nicer)

Okay update: First paint job SUCKED. I hate gloss black, so I went and bought flat black. Looks a lot more professional. I'm also changing the them from Evangelion to Portal. I'll be done by this weekend (lots of schoolwork).
