The Princess Project

This looks so cool. I look forward to seeing how it turns out!
 
Peachy actually looks so good with holographic tinsel :shock:
 
Would you mind sharing what paint you used? I've been looking at various chrome paint reviews and they all have bad or mixed reviews for not having that nice reflective look.

Your work has some of the best paint finish. I know you use a lot of figure paints.
 
It's called Molatow and it's a pen. I found out after buying it that you can buy refills for the pen, which is essentially just a bottled paint version! This stuff is crazy, it self levels so it's not goopy. I think it would work better as a symbol restorer because the original medallions have a smoother surface.

I found it, thanks! $29.99 for the 30mL refill bottle and $23 to 25 for a 3 pen set.

I have a couple of princesses that need some repairs, plus it looks like it could be great for other projects. You got your medallion very smoothed out, though, so your results look great. The original princesses also had a tint paint over the silver. Do you have any plans to try that if you make more princesses?

And do you know if your casting could handle at least the front part of the crown barrettes?

Some are just silver, but yeah there are pink or gold tinted ones. I am thinking of trying some diluted glass paint or something.

I think casting for the barette is possible. Thinner parts of the resin can bend. Not sure how it would hold up over time, though.
 
I think if the back part clip on both sides rather than folded over it could work. It would definitely be display only. I might give it a try some day, especially if I find an already broken barrette.

And yeah, when the tinting is coming off it does look like the stain glass type paint you can get with those little plastic stain glass craft kits.
