Another Tiny Terror from Mad Labs

This was a fun kit. I was lucky enough to get one of these thanks to Scott Johansen.
I just did a fun / quick build on this. I could have spent more time and done more washes and added more contrast, but didn't feel like it.
One, because it's just a fun kit, two because I was on a deadline to get this done for Wonderfest (which I did)
I also had some setbacks. After priming white, I first tried to spray it with a darker orange then hitting it with this brighter orange.
Somewhere along the way I ended up with a bunch of texture on the piece, so I had to strip it down completely and start again.
The kit originally had a nub on the raised foot to hold it upright without a base, but since I was using a base and a pin, I ground it off and painted the sole of the shoe.

Looking at things blown up in the photos, I see a few slip-ups with the paint that I didn't notice before.
