Fallout Props Mentats Tin

Hi all

I am back with more Fallout props.
The tins usually contain pills that give your character various abilities but i used sweets instead.

Mentats

So i printed the label from Deviant Art which you can get here. https://www.deviantart.com/bl00dpainter/art/fallout-3-Mentats-label-134602728

The fist part is to sand down the tins so that the paint will stick. I used DecoArt Multi-Surface Satin Acrylic paint as it will stick to smooth surfaces like ceramic when set. 

my first layer was black gesso but this did not hold to well while i was adding the paint layer. I think i had to let it dry fully over night before painting but it did create a battered look where some of it had peeled off

i used one coat of Canary and let it dry before applying a coat of School Bus. This is so you get a layered look when you sand back sections of the paint.

next i printed the labels off to fit my tins. I used 3 and a half inch tins so i printed them off at 3 x 2 inches. Sand off the edges and crumple up before using Rusty Hinge Distress ink and carbon black fluid acrylic to add the grunge.
