This is going to be the mega thread to hold my various crafting stuff. If it's not your bag, please feel free to mute the entire thread (or me, of course).

I'm gonna have multiple threads branching off from this parent, it'll get gnarly, so hashtags will abound.

Today's #modelling is a standard practice for some of the nerdier nerds, but will likely confuse most people, and probably a chunk of other people in the #modeller community too...

Okay. So maybe this will ease some confusion... I'm trying out a new technical paint (GreenStuffWorld's Colourshift) which I've not used before, so wanted to get an idea how it would come out, over various different base coats. Plastic spoons are cheap, made of plastic (so react similarly to the paint as models do) and have lots of curves, so you can see how the paint will look at different angles/in different lights etc.

Here's the spoons before painting.

And boy, am I glad I did. Here's that same "Royal Burgandy" paint from #GreenStuffWorld, sprayed at the same quantity, over a black undercoat, and a silver one.

The black base has made it appear greeny/blue. The silver, a metallic rose pink.

These spoons now go into my reference collection so I can refer to later on...
