First time prop maker...
Had a prop made by a buddy, it is a model of Thorn from Destiny.
I see countless standard paint finishes of black and green and I want to go on a different route ...
I want to replicate the acid rose ornament, however, it requires a bunch of tiny scoring and marking along the barrel that will require various painting methods... I'm not too concerned with the painting so much as adding the effects of the scoring and such.
I have epoxy putty, but I'm having a heck of a time both getting the right shapes and getting them to stick to the prop without falling off.
Should I be looking into using a soldering iron and going for a more "dramatic" effect? Or are there other recommended tips and tricks?
I'll try to attach reference pics.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
