I'm finished with the first stand and now 2 more to go.

After this is the electronics ... not one of my strong points

Here are some parts I forgot about yesterday. They were sprayed with normal rattle cans (think that is what you call them in the States)
http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s200/FaanPret/Mobile%20Uploads/20151117_180310_zpspvj9hvng.jpg

The texture you see on them was done with rustoleum texture spray.

First step is paint them with a mixture of wood stain and brown ink.

I give them about 3 coats, waiting for it to dry in between coats.
Then I dry brush them with copper paint to bring some copper color back

The last step is very light dry brushing with gold paint just to give highlights.

Done.
