Broithe Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks Jim, did put your suggestion to Mrs 84C but she just laughed! and said I should be so lucky, so very cruel! Yeah, I realise now - I got carried away - I should have suggested sixpence. the green on the sides, which I do not think is quite dark enough. Sssshh, tell people that it's a very specialist weathering technique - that simulates the fading that exposure to the Sun produces over many years. It's very hard to achieve and is really only recommended for real experts.

jhb171achill Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Yeah, I realise now - I got carried away - I should have suggested sixpence.

It's very hard to achieve and is really only recommended for real experts. It actually does replicate very accurately the way that shade of green DID weather! Thus, it's spot on!
