I really want to try etching. Is it easy?

[thorilan]

yes nice work

for the tail i would sugest 1 last thing so it isnt so bland and that is to add a diamond shape to it its really only 4 more small lines

the rest of the pic looks greaat but once yuo look at the tail its kinda plain .
not bagging on the work because its awesome for first work and even more skilled havent done as good .

Thanks guys , the picitures flatter it a little , i have a little clean up work to do on it, it took me about an hour i guess.. i had to stop every once in a while and move around lol, as long as you take your time its fairly easy , and it takes a little time to get the hang of it , using different speeds on your dremel for different parts , but all in all it was pretty fun and simple , thats an interesting idea about the tail.. ill think about that.. im not quite sure how i would go about it tho , if you could maybe draw it and modify that etch to have a diamond shape to it that'd be great..

[Annoyingrob]
