Part 7: Pimp my Multimaus!
Hi all DCC fans!
I use the Roco Multimaus digital system, and of course I do appreciate that they have done a very ergonomic handset.
But the designer that chose the color ought to have been sent on retraining
Sure, the red may well be neat, but not on a controller .... Looks almost a bit "so" ....
I did this to mine today:
Dismantling it took about 5 minutes, of which three minutes were spent finding a suitable screwdriver ...
I cleaned the cover with soap and water, and mixed in a little spirit to accelerate the evaporation.
Then I primed it with a black primer:
Then came the real fun .
I wanted a personal touch, so I thought that I would have stars on the upper part of it, clouds in the middle and fire at the bottom.
I used white in my Iwata CM-B airbrush to sketch it up freehand:
The back got a little more clouds and a locomotive at the bottom (it IS a Train accessory after all...).
Then I added the colors from light to dark and I finished with some white for highlights.
This is how it looks before Varnishing:
I finished it with a satin-finish spray varnish which I let dry for about five hours before I assembled it:
I'm pretty happy with the result, now there is no doubt about whose hand control it is .
