I always use spray paints on plastic kits, but I'm not sure what color I used for this particular chair.

How did you paint the chair? What colors/layers and finishing coat did you use? Thanks!

Miniature perfection.

For this piece in particular, I either cut new parts from spares in a way that hid the or covered over the injection holes and marks. The rocking chair posts have a better explanation of how I fix them otherwise.

You may need to prime then re-check/redo as needed.

How did you get the injection holes and marks on the cabinet door to be less visible? I’m working on it now, and it seems when I try and sand/use an exacto knife to mimic grain it makes the issue more pronounced. Thank you!

I love the bullet hole. I think that's my favorite.

Thank you!!

Thank you!! I do love figuring things out!

Thank you!!

I actually have since bought a Maker to replace this machine since the Explore didn't do everything I wanted. This material is very thin polystyrene sheet, and the Maker did a better job of cutting through.

Thank you so much!!

Sheila!

Thank you, both!

Thank you so much, everyone! I really love old finishes.

Thank you!!!

Perfect details! Seriously, even your "distressing" is precise.

Everything looks lovely! And those sailboats..

Every time you do this I have to hide my credit cards

Old doors do tell stories and this one has quite a story, I am sure. Your technique has created quite an authentic piece. Very nice.

I can hear this door. I think we've all used a door like this. Big heavy boy that you always need to get some large awkward item through, using a wide metal flat cart and of course the one wheel has a mind of it's own.

Brae - Really great job capturing the ratty! You are spot on!

That is quite a process, but what an amazing result!
