I'll go into details of the process later but these are the basic colors I chose after hours of looking at the references:

There were a couple of mishaps where the paintjob got damaged along the way, and instead of re-doing it, I made repairs. I can go into it only if ppl are curious. So it's far from perfect, which... well, perfection is always the goal.

On one hand, it's not a complicated paintjob, but on the other hand capturing the chaos of the original while trying to be careful to accurately replicate it's detail is not exactly a walk in the park. Moreso than with the armor I think.

While I did photoshop some rough stencils, I didn't actually stencil anything due to the difficulty of making marks on a dark surface that can be covered or removed afterwards. Chalk paper would work fine for that but I didn't have any and didn't think it necessary. What I did instead was print the stencils out and hold them next to the area to get the scale and layout while free-handing the masking with a q-tip.

I also decided to switch the handle to final forward-button position before painting it since I didn't see any compelling evidence either way beside the fact there is far more blue on one side than the other, which matched better with the handle being in it's final forward-button position.
