So I've been pondering for a while on what to paint my Iron Corsairs weapon cowlings with when I ran across one of my sister's 'crackling nail polishes' in the bathroom sink. This reminded me of an article I saw a while back about crackling paints (I can't find it now, which would be why I delayed this post >.> ).
Anyway, Yesterday I picked up a bottle of Delta Ceramcoat 'Crackle' Effect. I ran some trial paints on a piece of cardstock to see how it works.
It's really neat, but I'm worried the cracks aren't quite fine enough to look good on bolt pistols and bolters (Sorry I neglected to think to put a bolter in the picture for size comparison, the top The upper left test block's brown undercoat is 1.5" wide, by 1.25" tall.)
Sadly due to a sneaky cold this is about all I've done in miniature related stuff this week.
