This was just a quick spur of the moment
project. Standing in line at the art store, I noticed a small bin
of pig key-chains. it struck me that these might make for a fun
little modeling painting exercise, to create a pig styled
"space drone" |

| The original
99-cent key-chain piece. |

|
| The piece
prepped and primered. The surface of the original piece had an
overall rough /pebbly surface texture, this needed to be sanded
smooth. Then came a somewhat frustrating exercise in getting the
two halves to fit properly, and getting the seam puttied so that
it would not show or telescope through the paint later. Lastly
came the addition of an antenna tail, this was fabricated out of
copper wire with styrene details, and two clear orange beads for
the flasher/light.

Next came a base coat of dark brown rust,
followed by a coat of satin clear. This was then covered
with 3 coats of hairspray
