Improve your props

[Sickie Ickie]

Hey guys, just thought I'd share something I do for my props.

If I enjoy the prop, but it won't show up well under lighting because the colors don't "pop" enough, often I can just use a black sharpie and make a quick fix.

The one on the above left has been highlighted with black permanent marker. (Basically just followed the creases.) The one on the above right had nothing done to it.

Nice touch, so whats in the tank?

That's a nifty tip. Maybe I'll do that to my crappy "Brain Child" that I got last year. Paint job on it is horrible.

[Sickie Ickie]

YEah, it's surprising to me how things can be well molded and then have a crappy paint job. Viva La Sharpie! :D

Hi Sickie,

Great tip. It's the subtle modifications that make all the difference.

[IshWitch]

That is very nice. Sometimes it's the little things that really make a difference.

Some guys are well endowed, I get the "little things" that make all the difference. LOL

[Beepem]

Nice work with the sharpie...why didn't I think of that?

[NATUREPIXIE]

Great Tip Sickie Ickie.... I'll have to try that out on some of my things.

Thanks, easy and cheap. Now I know why I look up to you.

[Sickie Ickie]

First time anyone has said that...then again it could be because I'm so short. :-p Thanks scareme.

[scareme]

You mean noone has ever told you before they like you cheap and easy? I find that hard to believe.
