The Smugglers Room how did you do the raised writing?

Wanted to do a test run of this as other than painting D&D minis this entire thing is new to me. Struck on an idea … got two dollar store plastic kids phone. Grabbed some grab bag plastic pieces from a hobby train shop. And my niece and nephew designed the backs of their own toy datapads. We are going to go thru each step you show with those first so I can especially get used to the techniques. The kids have loved being the designers and left the grownup steps to me. What a great site. So glad I found you.

Since you are online and have just gave a huge HEART from my comment on another video, I went back to this one, made sure to THUMB UP, and mention that these are really cool cases also. I have seen on other videos instead of using that latex based material for chipping, another idea (especially for airbrushing) is to first lay down your undercoat (like the silver in this case ... case?!?) to then use a non aerosol type of hairspray in the airbrush, then paint your top coat, and chip away the areas you used the hairspray on. This is a cheap and effective way to make even less pronounced chipping effects where you may want to have chipping in the edges or in recessed areas. Thanks again for the heart, I think I am going to subscribe too, I like your style, kid!
