fckiamdead Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Some of my shells. First out Blue to Red to Green to dragonegg. Rolled them to different sizes to get some sort of ghost/rainbow effect. Next batch will get an extra mm. I like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrokid Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Really excellent! Did you make a special effort to control solvent application when rolling? I feel like I always have problems with colorant migration between layers due to injudicious application of solvent!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I always have problems with colorant migration between layers due to injudicious application of solvent!! No not realy, just plain water whit 20% to 30% ethanol (For water bound stars). Letting them roll "extra" long between every scoop of star mix for a realy compact star, maybe that´s your problem? I think you have to got a lot of patience when rolling and not rushing them to grow. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregh Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 What do you use as a relay between colors? You have nice sharp color changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fckiamdead Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 What do you use as a relay between colors? You have nice sharp color changes. I didn´t use any relay on these shells gregh. I cant afford the "extra" space whit changing relay on 3 inch shells whit 3 to 4 color changes. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebkessinger Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I still can't figure out where you find all the space for the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boophoenix Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Fckiam, that first shell the ghost/rainbow was pretty sweet. Thank ya very much for sharing. I wondered how they would turn out in such a small shell. The topic came up once on another forum and I opened my mouth and need to get it backed up and give me a try.

Is it about how i can fit that kind of stars in a 3inch?Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boophoenix Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Sorry fckiam. Darn iPad did some corrections on me. The first ghost shell I ever saw and was a part of a conversation on I felt the mechanics of the stars simple and said so. Which probably didn't sit well since I had only ever built two shells at the time. One in a class Lloyd taught and the other a solo build. I had plans to give it a try in a 3 or 4 inch to prove myself right or wrong, but work and life got in the way. I feared such a small star in a small shell it might be difficult to present the effect well. You've shown it can be done and does present fairly well so I guess in the coming months I need to get after it. Thank ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
