Here is my first crack at making my own tombstones.

If you get upset over politics please do not open. :o)

I first rolled on gray paint. Then spray painted with Stone Specal (sp?) Spray paint. Last I added some black hobbie paint to the letters. You can also do your letters first then roll paint the gray then spray paint. The spray paint get's in the letter groves but I like that effect a bit better.

Hey Nick - just a quick note - one thread somewhere here points to a video - I think it is the bigscream tv link - and they do a real quick trick of outlining their tombstones with little rectangles of styro (on top of the tombstone surface - set in from the outer edge - nothing hanging over) . Its a really cheap and VERY effective method of adding some depth.

back to subject at hand!
