Got inspired by @sOuLfUlFoRg's custom stand for two pairs of sunglasses he did for himself. And decided to do myself a Rust Decay stand!

Of course, the skill required can't be compared to his works of beauty, but you have to consider that the artistic baseline I started from... which is well well well below average...for even a 5 y.o.

Prepared to be impressed...no, astounded...by my painting skills. Yes. Bask in the radiance that is my supreme glory from the land Down Under.

Attention, my fellow O brothers and sisters. Remember my username, cacatman. For in 100 years time, my avatar shall surely be exalted and revered alongside the greats such as sOuLfUlFoRg, @jdd32, THE X-MAN, dr.chop and zwc0442.

Even @OakleyFrankFMJ will seek out my work and have no fewer than 7 in his collection (even though there are but 3 known pieces in existence).

Now that I have perfected custom paint jobs. On to lens cutting. I've got @Chris A Hardaway in my sights.....

Ok. Ok. The above was a dream. But I did get a gold star from @cyclerdoug. Actually half. It was half a gold star.

Please note. I did it with NO parental assistance.

So. This is what I had to do.

Step 1. Get plastic stand.

Step 2. Spray on undercoat.

Step 3. Paint on special base coat "rust paint". X2 coats 12 hours apart. I used Dulux Design Rust Base Paint/solution. Dry for 24 hours.

Step 4. Paint on Dulux oxidising solution X2 coats 3 hours apart. Dry for 12 hours.

Step 5. Spray on water every 3 hours several times until desired effect achieved.

Voila! Done!
