Righty then, today as promised I am going to create a white ware bear from scratch. I will post live updates of my progress! (I hope this works or else I am going to look bloody ridiculous and this whole post will be very dull. Lmao!)Now I have already been to my local paint specialists this morning, I use a company called ‘Jawel paints’. From experience I have found that cellulose thinners work best and 1 litre costs about £6 where as 5 litres only cost a tenner!! Needless to say I brought 5 litres and don’t think that I will be running out in a hurry. Lol! :)
The first bear up for dipping is Gilbet. The bear has a few small chips to the paint on his face but other than that is in perfect condition, an ideal bear for this type of mod.
So before we start you will need your thinners, a suitable bear or two, an old cup or container that will hold enough liquid to fully submerge your bear, a soft brush and a stiff brush.
9:40 a.m. - Having already been to the shops I have placed my bear into the cup and have poured the thinners in making sure the whole bear is under the surface of the liquid. The great thing about this process is you don’t have to do much; in fact I shall now simply sit around for a while and let him soak.
