Process a PVC pipe
Use a PVC pipe (diameter 3.2cm).
Bend a PVC pipe by heat. If you don't want to use fire, use a Heat gun .
Use a Gas toach or a Lighter .(Be careful about fire)
Hair dryers can't bend.
When you heat, equip globes.

Painting
Begin painting.
At first, paint undercoat on EVA foam .
The effects are as follows.
-Color becomes well.
-It becomes hard to come off.

-About paint
I use following paint.
You can use acrylic paint , when you use Gesso .
I use "Zoukei be-su" as undercoat this time.
But it's sold only in Japan.
Substitute Gesso or Wood glue thinned with water.
Paint "Zoukei be-su" twice with a brush.
Dry it about 2 ~ 6 hours.
Paint black as undercoat color with Lacquer Spray .
Paint dark silver with Lacquer Spray .
Paint dark silver Bottle lacquer paint by Drybrush painting.
Drybrush painting is easy, you can do it with a paint brush.
Read here or watch this video.

When you paint Bottle lacquer paint , use a paintbrush,silicon cup(Use as a paint plate. It can easy to peel
paints after dry.),
panint stick, thinner.
Stick Masking tape on the point you don't want to paint.
