while waiting for the grey filament I thought I would do a paint test, in which I found some hammer tone paint and did 2 coats, but in playing I think I put the second coat on too soon as the texture flattened out as the first coat looked great with that real pitted texture that gave it the look of it being impacted with other asteroids. At least you can see the contours of the surface.
next ones will be dark grey printed, then I will wipe the asteroid with some solution to flatten out the layer lines and then do a undercoat and a hammer tone and should look the part. I got some parts from RTBB so by the end of the week I should have a set finished for evaluation by you guys.
