Thanks Emery, damn straight Ken.
I carefully put the "sticked & pic'd" details in the box and carry them outside.
I dont spray them on foam as the spray paint would eat through it.
I then take the stick or pick out of the box one by one and spray them with the finish required. They are then stuck into foam to dry and be readily available.
Outside (use in well ventilated area) after spraying base coats.
Back on the bench safely ready for the next steps. "spray & play"
Time for me to shoot a game or two and get focused, maybe more later.
oh man, that's a boatload of details!
I agree with that wonderful smell of the resin castings. It would be a shame if that was not there.

Indeed Bryan, quite a while I'm thinking, I'll start to get to work on them tomorrow, hopefully.
I'll start with the basics and go on from there, definitely lots to work on.
A whole week later after priming the details and I finally made some time this evening to get started on the first basic steps of getting them ready.
Still much more to come.
I got a couple of hours today so I added the next layer to some of the details. These ones are ready to be put aside until final touches when they are installed.
Gotta love the crisp, sharp detail in Brett's resin shelf castings...
I don't know how he can do it, but, I am so glad he can...
Looking at them all on my desk, that's about 10% of box 1 completed, I'll have some time to work on the wooden crates, boxes and other wooden items tomorrow, hopefully.
After that I put the base layers down on the awesome Fordson tractor radiator, amazing detail on this part.
A painters tip regarding spray cans for you....
if the temperature is low/cold where the can is stored, stand it in a bowl of warm water to warm the can up.
This will make the paint less viscous and it will spray a much finer mist and go on much thinner and smoother.
I'm not sure what temp it is in your shop, but this may help you out with a better result if it's cool/cold out there.
