ok, so tonight i just finished the painting. i am really excited. I now have to make a heat panel and wire it up, get some glass cut and make some front panels, but that is all the easy stuff.
so on tonight's painting session, i started off with a reasonably heavy coat of a dark grey ideally i should have used a darker shade
then i did a lighter coat of a lighter grey
then another coat of an even lighter grey, then some white to highlight high points (use white sparingly)
so as you can see, you can see some of the undercoat of colors through the finish.
now just to give the rock a Forrest moss look, i mixed some green 'ink' and applied it in strategic places
ok, the attachments thing has just stopped working, will post a picture of the ink up at a later date
my only regret is i think i have gone too light with my color choice so now it looks really bright, may attempt to darken it later
cheers
