Hi all,

Wanted to share my wee objective marker.

I am currently working on an entry for the LoER competition and wanted to try out a couple of techniques on something smaller first of all.... so I knocled together a little objective using spare bits.

For the "paintjob" I have actually used no paint.... the only paint used was the red on the crate and a black undercoat.

The rest was using dirt from the garden.... dried coffee & hot chocolate. The grass is cut from an old paint brush the rust is "homemade". The , etalic effect was made using graphite from a pencil

Also I dont have any paint brushes so only used a small bit of sponge.

A little bit long winded but wanted to let you know where this has come from...

Cheers all,

It looks more like Ork objektive just bounch of random old bits ! why Emperiums ? Looks cool tho , didnt know you can paint with dirt and cofee and ...

Hi Mate,

Thanks for looking in and commenting!

Yeh I suppose it could be either used as Ork or Imperial...

You will be surprised what household items can be used in both construction & "painting" of things.... Its nice to experiment (and find cheap alternatives to expensive products)

~Oh, I did mean to add..... the colours are slightly brighter in RL...... just my photography setup and skills are not quite up to the task...

Cheers All,
