The Cabinet of Doom WIP

Greetings!

I promised you fresh stuff from my on going sedition wars quest.

Instead I bring you something else.

You might remember, that I have moved this summer (announcment: Soon I will do a little article about mancaves). With this I have risen to a new dimension of selfawareness.
I found the Home-Improver in me, the Tim Taylor of Tool Time...

I feel like Tim, look probably more like Alan

All this was fueld, when I found a second-hand furniture store close by.
Long story short, being short on money, wanting a show-cabinet for my minitures and being inspired by the "Shabby-Chique"-Stuff my Nornqueen likes somuch I bought the following for an apple and an egg.

To give the cabinet a new paintjob, I removed the glass with my newly found skills...

I gave everything a coat of white laquer...

After that I used green acrylic paint. It was quite hard to get the paint covering up the laquer, but since I wanted to remove that paint layer, it wasn't to bad. I used a sponge and not a brush, avoiding the brush-strokes.

I mixed some brown pgments into the acryl paint to tone down the quite bright green.

After everything had dried, I took a variety of sanding papers to get the "used" look.

Since I have some nice metallic barock-application and the whole thing wasn't "Dark future" enough, I decided that I should hone my skills in barock design.
So I searched for some Input...

and started sculpting

As soon as I have painted the barock application, I will glue it onto the door and provide you with some more shots.

What do you think about customising furniture?
