<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Crackle paint for lava bases question"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Crackle paint for lava bases question CSMs, but I already did a few of the bases with Stirland Mud texture paint. I know I could just continue with the new lava base method, but I like uniformity lol. So here is my question, for the bases that already have the texture paint on them, could I just paint red, orange, and yellow over top of the texture paint, then do the crackle paint (mixed with black) and still get the lava effect without it looking like gak? As I understand it, the crackle paint "crackles" more dramatically when there is something textured underneath.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566965/6319017.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566965/6319017.page GMT Crackle paint for lava bases question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566965/6319022.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566965/6319022.page GMT Crackle paint for lava bases question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566965/6319127.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566965/6319127.page GMT Crackle paint for lava bases question GW doesn't really like to mix with other paints.

I apply a thin layer of pva glue then follow with the crackle paste, then once dry I will use red/orange ink in the gaps, and finally just airbrush black at an angle so it doesn't fill in the cracks. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566965/6319165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566965/6319165.page GMT Crackle paint for lava bases question

I saw those pics that you took before. I figured if I used the gw stuff it would have to be watered down pretty good. I also have bottle of crackle paint I got at a hobby store a while back that I could try instead of the gw stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566965/6319180.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566965/6319180.page GMT
