Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch....
That's how this arena project is feeling. But it is getting done. Over the last two days I got the veins on the marble (with a little assistance from a tasty adult beverage) and the copper painted on. All that is left is the verdigris, the flames and the touchups.
Then I set them aside until the dogs aren't freezing to the lampposts and work on my fountain. (I'm waiting until it gets warmer and I can varnish them, if that wasn't clear from what I just said.)
I stopped by the hobby store and picked up a couple more bottles of craft paint. I got a rust-brown for the granite I'm going to paint and the color I plan on using on the second arena set.
I know I said I was going to use burgundy but I picked up a red metallic instead. I think that will stand out more against the black, which was becoming a concern of mine. And it's .. shiny!
