Chixisigma 461 Posted August 9, 2019 I'm really quite impressed with all this. Nice work Making the project a homage to one of the least deserving weasels to ever grace this forum is the only questionable step (I am, of course, referring to TFT. I know how he likes to twist these things around...). BRAP Cxs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next up will buff slightly and reassemble the watch, but first have to plate the watch hands and dial indices , of which will happen tomorrow At this rate the GINGERMARINER should be 100% complete tomorrow or the day after depending on scheduling.. Now that's just impressive as Great job Big D! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FudgyDocker 3,500 Posted August 9, 2019 So, are you looking to 'ginger up' the insert and gold the numerals on it (in lieu of the white/platinum colour)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I decide to change the numerals color(it actually looks good in white so far), I typically just use the SHARPIE metallic pens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BADBILLY 115 Posted August 9, 2019 But all the silly gifs are used to create the necessary inflection to carry out the drama in the art of storytelling. I perceive storytelling an art form. What forms of self expression are you most prevalent to display? "Life does not consist mainly, or even largely of facts or happenings. It consist mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever flowing through one's head." -----Samuel Clements Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flinnt 2,009 Posted August 9, 2019 Totally agree the story isn’t as important as the way it is told. I bloody nearly had a seizure with that psychedelic shit though, and I don’t have epilepsy or photophobic induced seizures...until now at least. Impressed at your skills here BadBilly. The watch plating, not that psychedelic shit. Do you have any good acid to share? I might get that effect then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah baby, just cook it! 30 minutes at 350 C should do it. This is a much, much better effort than that last two tone monstrosity, it actually looks pretty cool!
