Project: Clockwork

Excellent work on the fan my friend. That rust effect looks the real deal, nice.

As mentioned before I tried just about everything Metal Effects had and wasn't happy with any of them. I found this stuff at my local Ace Hardware store for $13 and I love it. The texture on the basecoat even makes it feel like rusted iron.

Thank for the info +rep :up:, I'll have to look for it next time I get to the store. I've used American accent products before but haven't seen that one, might have to look at a different hardeware store.

Ok, gang, it's time to put this worklog to rest. What a mass of confusion and irrelevance. :(

The *project* is still alive and well, but I'm going to close this pointless worklog out and start another. Those of you who would like to keep tabs on the progress of this build can do so here.
