dargrin Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 That is what one of my friends suggested on Facebook. I will stick to minis right now. Although I did find a new nickle that may be painted up soon. (no trade mark) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artists Wren Posted February 16, 2011 Artists Share Posted February 16, 2011 I have been thinking of doing this with some of the state quarters. Probably not all 50! Partly because I'm so slow, and partly because I still haven't managed to collect all of them. Your dime looks great, wonderful job! The hair and skin came out really well. I'm especially impressed by the detail you captured on the ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargrin Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 These surprisingly go pretty fast. So doing a bunch over a few days is really not out of the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twjolson Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Did you seal it afterwards? I'd like to do one of the presidential gold dollar coins, but would want to let the gold show through as much as possible. Do you think not priming, or selective priming, would work?

dargrin Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 I would do some selective priming if you want to let the gold show through. I would be nervous that the paint would chip. I would then tape off the areas you don't wish to seal with painters tape. The coin I did was just for fun so I didn't seal it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 They have some clear primers. Tamiya makes one. Should allow the gold to show, and still give you the bite elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
