I think I was desensitized yesterday. Fluorescent ink is no joke; that shit is all manner of Rainbow Brite. Still plowing onward. I didn’t feel like spending all day in the respirator, plus cleanup at every stage, so just a matte varnish to seal in the OSL. Everything else gets actual bristles. One of these days I am going to follow through and prime the skulls on the sprue. This teeny-tiny bullshit is ridiculous.
I’ve never used crackle medium before, so no clue how fussy it is, aside from needing a gloss base coat. On the bright side, can’t say I didn’t learn anything from the disco kitten fiasco; crackle paste in the cup first. At worst it doesn’t actually crack, in which case I can always treat it like any other texture, blast it with PVA and black sand, and call it a luau.
Huh. That’s…interesting, in a tar pit kinda way – like pitch and frosting had a viscous baby they let congeal overnight. Schnikes. At least it wasn’t the light box. This is why we test. Me and the minion in my pocket.
