Adventures in etching the prequel

[jimilee]

This was the second etch that I'd done,( the last post was the third). If you can't tell by looking, it's the tractor beam phaser.  This etch is from before I found the HP paper, that's why some pits. I didn't feel it was worth my time to paint it to really make the hideousness pop. Thanks the gordo for spotting my bone hard mistake.

Glad to be of help.  Lots of cool sounds to be found in this one, it's a very quirky little pedal.

That's a real agricultural grunge look!

That's how you sell an etch like this... 
Great job as always Jimi and it's a phaser. Nuff.

That is awesome!! Best graphic ever. I totally think you should paint it. Just mask off the divots as much as you can because they'll be in the part that is sanded clean anyway

That etch makes the pedal look like it's made of concrete, which is actually pretty cool. Paint it flat gray and fill the labels and tractor graphic in red. It will look great.

I'd be tempted to coat it with India ink and rub/wipe that off, even more patina & grunge. If it's good, seal it with matte clearcoat, no good, should wash off.

I'd love to k ow how to do that, got a tutorial. I can paint it, and fill it, but how do you do two colors?

it look very cool, sometimes the accidents are better than perfection, plus this one phases!

That graphic is the best thing I've seen in a long time.  Came out great.

Which HP paper is that?

At first I thought it was a cow being beamed up. Now, I'm not so sure. Either way, great otherworldly look!

I think it looks great Jimi!  Nothing wrong with pitting on an etch!
