Durus Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Any well stocked store that sells art supplies should have the cackle paste somewhere with the other mediums. Don't have much first hand experiece with those kind of effects, but I know that depending on how thick you apply it you should be able to get varying sizes of crackle patterns. And if you get the regular stuff for painting with acrylics it'll probably be enough to last you through most of your army.Either way, only wanted to link you to these articles here and here. The second one is just an interesting (much cheaper) alternative approach to the idea, first one might be more interesting to you though.

Brother Captain Sirus Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Thanks brother. The first article is actually the inspiration for the thread, as i stumbled round the web looking for shiny gems that i could some day include in a project. The second link is swesome mind, especially like the mid way sandwich.

DarkMark Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hi, Have a look at this tutorial . You should be able to pick up the crackle paint from any online art store quite cheaply; well under a tenner I reckon. PVA glue is dirt cheap from anywhere.
