Dipping your mod ;)

Not sure if this as made its rounds yet but useful idea for individuality of your mod and for all sorts of things.

Nice and simple technique :

Also seems to be way cheaper than the kits for the fancy film transfers.The Borax was a couple quid,the Humbrol tins I seem to recall were about £2 each whereas the cheapest water transfer kits were about £32 each.

That's it for a few quid its quite effective.

I tried it with a few of the little humbrol enamel pots, the results were so crap that I'm tempted to sand the box back to metal and try again as I'm thinking the tins were just too small to do the job. Fraggle is happy enough though, she says it looks kinda like camouflage effect. I'll have a think a bit more before I decide what to do. Probably leave it until the 2nd box gets done though with a lot more paint.

The vast number of imperfections aren't that visible, the holes are though

More paint needed or maybe prime the box first ?

Lol the box was primed first, that is what the grey is showing through the(believe it or not)three colours used for the dipping
