North Star II Field Tripod Construction - Fabrication of the Faceplates 10
 

The small faceplates painted with Rustoleum hammered finish paint... (Click for enlarged view)

 
Like the previous page, here are the small faceplates placed on a strap piece of plywood showing off their nice textured finish created by the RustoleumŽ hammered finish paint after applying a couple of coats; one right behind the other. During the drying process, the hammered finish develops beautifully. In the end, it produces a wonderful durable finish that looks factory made. I allow the faceplates to cure fully for about a week.
