Building Bitzer part 9
Owing to the enormous setback of a broken clicker plus the fact that N-O-B-O-D-Y is selling friction-powered machine guns any more… I’m working on the mask appliance and the heart once more.
I decided to test and see if lamp black would work with the crackle top coat [Thanks to Masters, the only place that had what I was looking for!]. It didn’t, by the way.
The best results were achieved with the kit, which produced a nice, fine crazing with gentle application of the overcoat.
And I’m doing both sides of the mask because I can never remember which side is the left. Sometimes, I am an intense derp.
The mask is now drying in the sun and I shall commence twiddling with blinky lights.
…something I have no truck with…
Wish me luck
My main tools in the foreground
My test arena. Spray paint on the left, roller paint on the right
...and with the top coat on. I was experimenting with varying thicknesses to see what worked
Success! Micro-crazing!
