Related to the interference colours thread, but a bit off-topic for it; how do I paint an oil spill? I\'ve been thinking of building up multiple layers of PVA mixed with brown and black ink and pearlescent medium to get the rainbow coloured interference film effect. Anyone got any better ideas...

So I intended my reply to SamLee\'s topic to just hang in there till the forums could be read again. I just didn\'t realise that actually replying to it, would actually show a reply had been made. Thus, giving the mistaken impression that the forum was not down for everybody (which it was)...

I know that many people keep separate brushes for metallic and normal paints - almost the accepted practise. The idea being to prevent metal contamination in the pure colours. But now I\'ve read that metallic paints are harder on the brushes than normal paints, and that some people use...

Tried Acetone, with poor results. Tried Dettol, turns the paint into a gooey mess. Tried brakefluid, but how to dispose of it? Tried caustic soda. Yep, caustic soda, that drain cleaner that soap is made from. Within a couple of hours, the paint virtually comes off in a sheet from metal minis...

A colleague of mine, zygore, sculpts - here is his latest. I\'ve seen the real thing, and there\'s hair on its chest, there are veins on its arms, but they don\'t really show in the pic. That\'s 79321 for any half-blind nits who didn\'t see the link. ;) Anyhow, I\'m pimping his green for...

Alright, I\'m getting impatient, so I have to shamelessly prod for comments and votes for http://www.coolminiornot.com/77262 With work and studies keeping me busy, this was a practise piece to get me used to holding a brush once again. I think I got the most practise with the brakefluid...

So I finally found Future floor polish in South Africa, masquerading as Mr Muscle. It\'s even got the little Future logo on it to ensure authenticity along with a delightful potpourri fragrance. Grinning and beaming with my prize, I took a whiff of this magic wash, and smelt ammonia in it...
