Travis Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Wow, fEZ! That turned out great! I really like it at that scale too. What did you use to paint it? It looks like it has glass infused or something. Its hard to tell. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realfEZ Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thanks friends, I use (very poor quality) 5 or less mm plywood, that I cover (after scrolling work of course) with a home made coating : • Acrylic paint + marble powder (I get from a gravestone maker friend's shop!... Were thinking of how mine should look like !) to make a rather thick coating. • Apply with a perpendicular bumping motion on the plywood with a hard brush to give it the desired texture. • Note that resulting texture depends on coating fluidity (which you can control by varying the proportions of acrylic paint and marble powder). • Let dry/harden. • Use coarse sand paper enough to get rid of brittle bits, making sure you still keep its rough texture. • Fine sand. • Paint (or use tinted varnish as shown). fEZ.
