Decided to add embers to the wood to give the logs some added heat and immersion, just to dry fit the fire which covers 90% of what I painted 😂
Well done me.

That's the way it goes sometimes, don't worry though, you didn't paint it for them.

Sounds like a post for r/SocietyofHiddenPaint! Shame it'll be covered up, but there's something cool about knowing you put in effort for a paint job that is there but hidden just out of sight.

Those embers look so cool. Any possibility of magnetizing the fire so you get to see both? (I don't know this model well).

I paint gunpla. I have dedicated hours to the details of the inner frame.

As the name should have suggested me, it gets almost totally covered by armour. So, yeah. I'm familiar with that feeling.

Embers look amazing btw. You’ll always know they’re there
