Step 9Paint!
It may be a good idea to first draw in the lines with the permanent marker, but, beware that the white paint can sometimes let the ink come through as a bright blue line, it even showed through after a couple of layers.
Paint the nose and half of the eyes and head green. Paint the rest white and paint the spines red, or wrap them in red electrical tape (I did).
Be careful what paint you choose. My newspaper was still readable after 3 layers of the first green paint, so I had to get a different one. It may be a good idea to do a white base layer.
Also, try adding some PVA glue to the paint to give it some extra shine.
I went around each of the edges with permanent marker once it was all dry.
