It looks like it is rocking!<br />I understand what you mean. On a gaming table you want it to look like a rock and not like something you picked up from the parking! Maybe you should have posted pictures before and after.<br /><br />Greetings<br />Peterpeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09450643635236807442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-49632462175176335722013-10-20T11:16:41.084+01:002013-10-20T11:16:41.084+01:00a very addictive hobbie im new to it so learning t...a very addictive hobbie im new to it so learning to paint i got some rock that I need to paintmmmVinniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876349429838026515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-46711471922168515962013-10-18T05:27:50.800+01:002013-10-18T05:27:50.800+01:00too true.

Even if you can't tell the difference between the patterns in various types of stone, you eye knows how it's supposed to look and what size it is. Hence you need to trick the eye.Thomas Nissvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635793244352536541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-31503308081130121902013-10-17T10:55:04.253+01:002013-10-17T10:55:04.253+01:00I must confess that I often paint wood to look mor...I must confess that I often paint wood to look more "woody" - the lengths we go for realism when real world realism isn't good enough!<br />Milesjmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-88839359671332476482013-10-17T08:54:22.572+01:002013-10-17T08:54:22.572+01:00I tried blaming it on decorating but oddly Mrs BIg...I tried blaming it on decorating but oddly Mrs BIgLee didn't think that was the cause at all...<br /><br />[BTW Andy, the BFC models arrived yesterday and I'll get Ray and Fran's models to them in a couple of days]BigLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960213980906190335noreply@blogger.com
