Detailing the Scanner

Well after a long hiatus, I’m back at it again. My next step was to detail the small hand scanner. I was lucky enough to come across the owner of the kit used to create the instruction manual for this build (thanks, Mr. Munson!). From the photos I was able to recreate the detailing. I used dark gray and red acrylic paints. First, the recessed area was painted gray, and then the “LED” portion was carefully painted red. I also detailed the side recess using red to simulate a button. The whole thing was finished off with three coats of Dupli-color Automotive clear coat. Next up will be a combination of installing the electronics and applying the decals, so stay tuned!
