Re: Re:
Thanks, I could do one with more pics but essentially as follows:
- DO THIS OUTSIDE IF WEATHER PERMITS or put down lots of sheeting.
- I used Hammerite smooth as it goes on really well, runs slightly but not too much
- I use a wooden kebab skewer, which is thick at one end and thin at the other.
- Dip in the paint and let it drip onto the part
- Move quickly for a thin line and slower for a thick one
- Do the odd random dot
Last point is probably the most important and one that I don't think I did very well. If you look at the original Brodie painted ones, they got quite a light splatter. Particularly the cheaper Fire Mountain. I'm guessing they were on the clock and had to get through a certain number in a day. It's incredibly tempting to just keep adding more until you can't see the colour underneath. If I'm being honest, I think mine has a bit too much on it but then nothing else is original on it.
