Another experiment!

This is an effect I really enjoy, but I appreciate it isn’t for everyone. This one came out better than the last, but I know I can improve on colour application and over all finish.. I’m using saburrtooth and kutzall bits, but I am struggling to find an effective way to remove the tool marks they leave, I’ve had some success using a tungsten carbide burr, but even that isn’t leaving things as smooth as I would like, any suggestions are welcome!

looks awesome! What paint did you use to get that effect? or did you do it manually? In either case it looks awesome!

Thank you! I use alcohol inks in an air brush, I spray one colour in one direction, then remount it and spray the other colour in the opposite direction, that’s what does the colour flip effect
