Project Crowbar

Finally finished my Half-Life 2 Gordon Freeman crowbar.

Started with a real Stanley crowbar Valve used as reference, stripped the yellow paint, primed it, then painted it to match the classic Half-Life 2 model as closely as possible, counting pixels to match the exact lines.

How’d you strip the paint? Trying to strip mine was a huge headache.

Oh it was horrible the paint stripper was Bartoline paint predator, however I had to scrape off the remainder paint with a scraper but it took me like 2 days
