And Marc, I still am still lusting after your O scale box springs.

Chuck, I still remember the first time I saw your O scale engine house.  My buddies and I drooled all over the photos.

The amazing fact is that your work continues to improve all the time.

Thanks for sharing.

Perfectionism is indeed a curse, but the results are always worth it. Thanks for this Chuck... it's brilliant.

I repeat myself, but who cares.

This is the gold standard of scale modelling.

I think it looked good ... but I'm still feeling around on the floor for my eyes after my head exploded.  :o

Thanks a lot!  >:( :P 8)

After reading this thread over the past two evenings, I am sitting here amazed.  I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, but Dallas came closest to expressing my reaction to this modeling epiphany.  Wondering if I should take up basket weaving...or maybe crochet...I am getting crochety already, does that help?

Funny how things spread. I saw that on yet another forum yesterday, and I have some of it on order! Looks very interesting. Thanks for the heads up!

That does look interesting... I noticed in the thread that Virgil says he found it at Michaels. May have to have a look next time I'm near a Michaels.

It's amazing that the paint will craze so finely . . . gonna have to look for that stuff.

Wonder if a dead-flat overcoat would help replicate the chalkiness of crackled paint?  Or does it even need it?

Good luck with Michaels. I have a large store near me and they had never heard of it. I ordered some from Amazon.

I have seen both flat and sheeney paint that has crackled.

I went by Michaels yesterday on the way to my sister's. We were going out to eat (Applebees Veterans Day meal thing). I looked around the section with the paints and as Chuck said .. no luck. Later, after a fine meal we stopped by Michaels again. My niece was looking for some scrabooking stuff so I showed her where it was in the store. I wandered over to the next aisle where the stamping materials were .. and .. WOAH .. what do you know! Found the Distressed Crackle Paint. Seems that it is part of a stamp pad art thingie .. go figure.
