Reviving the thread here…
I picked up some paints earlier today (been a bit busy and kept forgetting to pick up some acrylics) and finally got around painting it. I’m pretty satisfied with my first “custom” Kendama/Voodama and plan on taking this with me to Disneyland to keep busy in the long lines and when my friend and I aren’t doing a quick round of Smash Bros 3DS 
Tomorrow will be the multiple coats of clear coat!
