Made a scorch shot from TF2(crap paintjob)

So I found this cool Team Fortress 2 print on http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:448498 and figured a lot of people might want that. Going to send it out for free to a community member of mine. I decided I'd try to paint this during my break time at work but I didn't spend a whole lot of time on it overall. It being my first attempt at painting something like this and end of the year "Gotta get all this shit done" schedule didn't really help with it(I got some spraypaints at home now so I can do it at a much slower pace). My biggest mistake was putting the parts together before painting them, this made it impossible to really get into all the crevices to get the paint on them. It's much easier to just cover a small area with painters tape where you will put the ABS goop to weld it together. My ABS goop is more like ABS putty. It just wont melt in the acetone I've had it in there for like a month now but it welds things together so that works for me.

For my first real print this is amazing, I'm using a e3d v6 hot end and I used 0.4/0.8 on some of the parts.
