Also got the Clot version of the Skullpirate figure in the mail today! Of course, as soon as I get my hands on my Clot Pirate, Secret Base screws me up and releases a new Skullpirate variation (the 'Blood' version, released on Christmas Eve) that is limited to 55 signed/numbered figures with a t-shirt and screenprinted bag. Damn...

Well, the project is underway! I started with the base color of black, using the spraypaint that I picked up yesterday. It turned out fairly well, but since I've never used spraypaint before, it was kinda' messy. I let the paint dry a few hours and then applied a second coat on the figure, so it looks a lot better now. I held the paintcan a little too close at one point, so there is a slight 'drippy effect on the back of it's head, but you won't notice it unless you look closely. Since it is the back of the figure, I guess I'm not too stressed about it. After applying the second coat, I had to meet my family for my sister's 40th birthday, so I have to continue the project tomorrow. So far, so good.
I know some of you are thinking "Damn, this guy is slow...I'd be done already". Please keep in mind that I have no artistic talent and no clue about the various paints, brushes, etc. that I just picked up, so all this is brand new to me. Besides, I'm in no hurry :)
