Death Eater (Upper Decker) - First Etch

[Martan]

Hi all,

First report and first etch. Wanted a rough look to fit the scheme (scary Harry Potter ) so didn't sand much at all. Definitely learned about enclosures not being flat. Didn't etch deep enough because the nail polish I used to fix some goofs ended up not holding up under the 40% hydroxide etchant. Had to use a razor and dissecting microscope for the snake to get the fine details in the toner mask. All in all am happy with it (after forgiving myself for knowing too much about all the flaws). Sounds just like the Triple Wreck sound clips. No mods.



Thanks to all who post here and Brian for hosting. I've learned a ton in a short time. An on my next etch I've already learned that sanding is a bitch

Now that's a great first report. The rough texture is perfect. Looks like divers brought it up from Queen Anne's Revenge.
