How to Build a Perry the Platypus Inaction Figure

Step 8Paint Perry's Pieces

Paint Perry\

Paint Perry's parts and leave them to dry. Green/Blue (his body), Orange/Brown (his tail), Yellow Brown (his legs, bill & tail detail) and White (for his eyes).

Since I have attached the bill using an insert in the body, you may want to paint that part of the bill, body coloured (the first 20mm in from the base of the bill - I liked the new look so kept it bill coloured). You can use a marker pen for colouring the pupils.  The tail pattern/texture can be painted on with the bill/feet colour.
