WHEW!
I think Im high as a KITE now from all the paint fumes
The Bluefive idol has been a worl in progress for a few days, Ive been taking my time on the paint. i started with a gloss black base coat over the primer and then the gold is the Premium gold foil paint. Probably some of the best metallic paint ive dealt with... you can see your reflection in it!
The base is a styrofoam disk that i put "cracks" in and painted to look like stone.... its sorta temporary, might do something else with it later.
The Jmtwo Tablet was pretty good project too. I used picture wire on the back that allows it to hang. I didnt want to fill in the back because i liked its hollow light weight.
It was painted using Jmtwo's dry rub method as well as misting MANY different colors on it.... tan, green, brown, grey, black etc.... lots of layers to get the right effect and then finished with a flat clear that gives it a real stone like look.
Heres a shot of um together:
and heres a shot of the grail tablet with my Akuba Fed4
Just on a site note i got a book from David Morgan today; Whips and Whipmaking....... David even signed it for me! Kinda cool eh?
