Raisin' Maize Buils Part 9 Adding Color

This was the only small Styrofoam corn cob left in the Hobby Lobby store. It was red with black highlights, pretty boring and not how I remember "Indian Corn" when I was a kid.
With a Q-Tip dipped in orange paint, I painted random kernels.

After that dried, some yellow was sprayed on a paper towel.
The yellow was lightly rubbed over the outside of the cob.


Then some permanant marker was added to some of the kernels.

The added colors really made a difference in the finished model and made it a little more realistic. Well, realistic for a rocket powered, Styrofoam corn cob anyway.
