Nice find, thanks for demoing it. First thing I thought of was eyes, shame they won’t help with that bit of frustration but cool none the less.
What happens when you file to a shape, e.g. Hex, square, pie.
I imagine not much because there is so much paint being released that it would fill the cut out. If you did file it down to a smaller shape that may allow you to stamp on flat surfaces but textured or curved areas you won’t see any significant shape
I have a similar tool for embossing/scoring paper, I hadn’t considered sticking paint on the end of it though. Great idea
that is a fab suggestion Gerry the giraffe pattering looks great.
“I imagine you have your nail dotting tools in the top drawer for the weekend, when you’re allowed out”
People are allowed out! When did this happen?
soon
I have been considering adding some dotted camouflage to my Dust Warfare British, and this will make it so simple!
Nice find there @avernos and I am off to get me a set.
Ice decorating tools for sculpting?
The nail art stamps are pretty cheap on Fleabay and come in a mahoosive range of designs. Basically, they’re thin metal plates that have designs cut into them (like traditional stencils) but since they’re meant for applying to nails they’re a lot smaller in size, roughly poker chip sized. They are also meant to be applied with a soft, domed ‘stamp’ (think rubber mushroom) which you dab into your paint/polish and then dab onto the stencil. As these cut-outs tend to be quite small and tightly grouped on the plate, it can take a bit of practice to get it… Read more »
yeah I’ve a friend who walked me through it all last year, she did say some of the cheaper ones aren’t great to use.
I’m considering using oils as well as transferring it to a backing. But these tests need to be tried out before I do anything with it.
Nice.
Some alternatives are a metal ball point pen refill (who would have known that a perfectly sealed refill from the 90s would have dried up by now), dress maker pin heads pinned to a sprue handle and those bent metal bits with ball heads that are sometimes used in shirt packaging.
