90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

[SteinHDan]

Starting to paint the metal parts on the boom, stick and bucket linkage. Need a couple more layers on the stick parts.
The paint color is the closest match I could find to the ABS filament color in the previous step. It's this one:
- Dupli-Color 577789 AC 3-0600
Sanded (120 sand paper) and primed with aluminum etch primer first.

It's a shame, really, to cover shiny metal in this way ;-)
