It's been quite a while since I last saw my old Lizardman skinks, so when I was transferring them from one storage box to another, I thought that I would try a little experiment with the old plastic aquarium foliage that I had used.
While I have the paper ferns and other nice products available to me now, I was wondering if there was some way that I could enhance the look of the plastic foliage without having to paint it entirely.
I did that on some recent pieces, which looked very nice, but took a long time!
In this case, I took some of my glazing colors and did light washes and glazes over the plastic foliage. Not only did it stick far better than expected, it dulled down all the shininess of the plastic! Extra bonus!!
I just wish that it had occurred to me years ago. If I have any of this particular plastic foliage left, I know how I can make it look a lot more interesting in a very short period of time. Hmm... perhaps some Aussie/Chindits are in the future?
Stay tuned!
