Love your techniques and your work. 2 questions are: what did you use in the white paint? and what was in the finishing touch to add a shine to your piece?

Although I said "paint" it is actually edible white powder colour which I "paint" on using clear alcohol (gin or vodka) to mix into a painting consistency. The shine is obtained with confectioner's glaze.

very nice video, the lighting was a little off

I know, the lighting was absolute rubbish as I used my digital camera but now I have a little web cam I may do this one again at a later date. Cheers! :o)

Hi Tash! I paint the white line last of all. I cut my paste and glue into position, tweaking where necessary then once the kilts (which it normally is!) are how I want them then I paint the line. I'd leave this til completely dry before I do anything else with the figure. :o)
