Make your own crack
lepaint.
Yeah!
Somebody was using crackle paint for tree bark, but I can’t remember who. Might have been MS_Paints on you tube?
Interested to see if the artist grade stuff would be good for a dried river bed
That’s very useful. I bought the GW crackle paint some time ago and really struggled to get it to stick and eventually got fed up and threw it in the drawer, never to be used again. I might dig it out now and try again.
As another use, perhaps try base coating a model, gloss varnish it, crackle paint. When dry, airbrush over a different colour and then knock the crackle off. Instant camo patterns…? Might work.
definitely a interesting video matt varnish may key to the texture paints better.
So looks like pva is the way to go. I’d probably go a step further and give it a coat of matte varnish afterwards, but a good and worthwhile experiment.
that is a cracking good tutorial 😀
What about the Vallejo & Scale 75 ‘mud’ and ‘snow’ texture paints ?
I wonder if mixing paint and PVA would make a nice color for the cracks. Hmmmmm
