To color or not to color?

I did not build anything tonight. We have an open day at the company where I work. And I volunteered to paint the direction sign, so I made some stencils tonight.

But as I mentioned in my post about the start of the London Marble Run kit, I’m considering to add color to that one.

I had a package with acrylic markers that arrived today, so I tested some on the wood to make sure it covers properly.

I’m very satisfied with the tests, so I think I will color the London Marble Run.

But now I have to decide which colors to use. I found an example on Facebook that I liked, with use of color, but still subtle. So I might base my work on that one. Keep you posted :smiling_face:

Now that you mention it, I was never quite sure what those “Test” squared things were meant for, but that’s a nice use you’ve given them :rofl:

It is a test for the lasercutter. These tests help the manufacturer to determine the correct speed and power of the laser for that piece of wood :smiling_face:

Ohhh! So it’s a test for them, not for us. Good to know, thanks! But hey, you’ve made it your own :stuck_out_tongue:

I have just used the wood without a piece but why not use the test area. They are there! even if not for us.

These markers are amazing! The coverage looks really good. It’s bound to turn out great. I’m very curious how you’re going to paint it.
