MARBLE EFFECT

I wanted to show you the pillars I added to my kitchen in the Grosvenor Hall. I bought these unpainted and I wanted them to look like marble. So I first painted them in white (you may of course use another color of your choice) and then started to fiddle around trying to get that marble effect. But I did not like the result at all !! So again, I added more white paint and checked on my favorite help site www.miniatures.about.com about how to achieve that marble look.

I found what I needed, but ..... in the meantime, I went to a hobby store to buy something we needed around the house and as usual, I stopped at the color spray department. AND GUESS WHAT I FOUND, hehe

In fact, it's a spray called "marbling effect spray" and it's just great. But nevertheless I would recommend to practice a little bit before applying it to the final object, because you may quickly overdo it and then you'll have to start all over again. So keep practicing. The spray is available at most hobby stores.
