This weekend I worked on my projects (for the first time in a while-read post below). I have to admit though, I had nothing but problems. I'm making a Grim Reaper with an oscillating fan head. Finally got my husband to help build the frame, mounted the fan head, mask and started on the clothes. Boom-the damn fan dies. Pissed me off big time.
Painted two of my cemetery pillars with a base coat of grey on Saturday (with my daughter's help). I made a stencil to try and make this a fast project and spray it with the fleckstone stuff. It's OK to work with. I was planning to airbrush them, but I can't find any place locally that sells the airbrush paint and I also need a filter and regulator for the compressor. The effect came out alright with the fleckstone, it's just messy. I'm not sure how well the stencil will hold up. Tried starting LED spotlights and have the wrong PVC and forgot my materials list from Ugly Joe.
At this point in the game, I'm kind of taking things off of my to-do list (like making a new FCG head). I've gotten back in the mood a little bit, which is a good thing. I just keep running into walls at this point. It's always a learning process. Hope everyone's projects are going smoother. Cheers! |
