projectologist Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 Not easy to see unless the light hits it just right, but I decided to do a little over-painting of the lume at the edges of the indices today, you can see it pretty clearly in the 3, 6 and 12, but on the wrist it's barely noticeable. I need to quit looking at macros of gen Pre-V dials (2nd pic shows a gen example of the over-painting). Dial lume isn't as yellow looking outdoors with no AR
mikellem Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 Hey I, You need to put that brush down and start enjoying those gorgeous watches you have my friend.. MM
Watchmeister Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 Just stop it. The piece is gorgeous. Go find a new project.
atomic_doug Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 Lovely work. The "sloppy" work by the original Italian crew gave every pre-V piece a personality all its own. I've tried that effect on some of the test dials, but I'm only using acrylic model paint, so it's probably much easier than what they had to work with.

The key with using acrylics is laying down the paint in one stroke since it sets up pretty quickly.
