some mad skills with the air brush
tough nut to crack, how to make them look less like what they were, battery boxes, flashlights...i suspect some bondo would help (or jb weld) hehe
that marble texture probably works from a few feet away, kudos!
i like the layered aspect of the 4*AA box best, maybe not the choice of characters for the over-lay, but the depth between the two looks way cool -
keep it up, can't wait to see you do with that in the future
how did you get the smoke effect on the purple-on-white box?

Thanks Fringe.As for the white box you paint it white than burn so masking tape and use the smoke get the effect.
Very nice, loses a little of the detonator look.
What type of paint are you using to bond to the plastic, is chipping or flaking a problem?
I'm tough on my PVs and even ego coatings scratch and chip on mine, even with only
occasional use these days.

Thanks Stosh, it' automotive paint and should hold up great.I have painted motor cycles boat guitars golf carts ect the same way so I think they will hold up well.
Very nice!
I was going to get my brother to airbrush mine but the paint shop told us no primer would stick to battery boxes as they " gas off" for a year or so. Auto paint was my suggestion as well, no problems as of yet?
I knew the clear coat would be juice proof but I was worried about the base coat.
I might have a project this weekend then
