Hello,
Purely a post to show off a bit really, so apologies in advance!
Just completed my first painted and stencilled shell, and as mentioned in previous posts, not something I'd embark on, but this shell was a prime candidate, no nasty filler, but used as 'Trench art' (surprisingly not damaged in any way).
Endless mixing of paints, and four attempts at a decent paint job later, the stencils are done. Stencill's I feel are perhaps too sharp and crisp, and probably not the correct font, but I'm being picky. I'm pleased with it as a first (and probably last) attempt. Hopefully as time passes, it'll look more 'scruffy'.
Many thanks to all those members who provided hints and tips.
Enjoy!
Cheers.
