PS - love the scrapbook too - if that's your work, I see how you did the hexes - manually with a steady hand
Thanks! It's a new little sketchbook I've started using to work out ideas for colours and patterns on miniatures. Previously, I've just worked thing out and made notes on scrap pieces of paper, but I invariably lose those and then am left wondering what paints I used for what and having to start all over again... The sketchbook, I'm hoping will be less likely to lose or inadvertently tossed and could serve as a sort of archive of ideas from past projects.
Please tell me you had some custom hex masking tool made to get this done, because looking at the pictures, they're damn near perfect!
All by hand - a steady, precise hand... If you take a REALLY close look, they are by no means perfect... especially on the main carapace out towards the edges there is some considerable variation in shape and size - but you have to look close. I'm hoping people will just take in the overall effect and NOT look too closely!
