As always these look amazing Steve. Well done.

How big are the flags you make?

363

You are correct spray paint, mask, carve then brush in with acrylic paints some paint colors cover better than others almost all of them took 2 coats several took 3. Then peel up the Oramask

Thanks!

Various sizes, the recent ones pictured are 37, 24, 48 fly. I have made two larger ones 60" and 84"

Thanks!

CB is 18"x22" yes hobby store paints some colors cover better than others so several coats are needed. After that one was done a rattle canned a coat of clear gloss over it.

I try and get my base coat on the PVC in one spraying. I have tried in the past to put a second coat down and i have had a couple projects the propellant in the paint has gotten though and caused the original paint to bubble up.

Sometimes fire fixes everything! I used @RussellCrawfords file and set it up with Easel Pro Fonts. I will try a differant bit next time so I don’t get the tear out.

Nice job Steve. Did you just take a torch to that and then poly it?

I need to give that Texture App a try. :grinning:

378

I need to play with it some more, it has a ton of settings and the bit makes a drastic difference

Looks great Steve as usual. I really wish Easel could do the texture at the bottom of a pocket.

@EthanKinney
Maybe Ethan can help us he created it.

Ethan we two questions. Can you help me understand what all the settings do and how the different v-bits affect it AND is there a way to carve a texture in the bottom of the pocket using the APP?

@SteveMoloney

Most of the settings descriptions can be found here: New App - Texture Generator
In order to texture at the bottom of a pocket you will want to adjust the source depth and the texture depth.

Let me know if you have further questions.
