As a birthday present for my friend Kevin I made him a custom tape measure.
Why a tape measure? you might wonder. Well to use for Warhammer 40k.
And since he is huge Legend of Zelda fan, the customization options were obvious.
I went with the idea to add the iconic Triforce to the sides of the tape measure.
I sanded the entire casing so my spray paint would stick to the plastic.
I made a strip using green stuff (you can use plasticard) and cut out triangles.
Then I aligned the triangles to form the Triforce and glued them down.
I masked off any areas that I didn't want to get covered in green spray paint.
Sprayed a couple of layers, a primer and green twice to make sure it covered nicely.
It was a bit too green for my taste so I painted the ribbed surface on the side brown.
Painted the Triforce gold and added a yellow strap to finish it all off.
I'm very happy with the end result.
I will probably customize my own tape measure as well.
