I'm liking this much clearer to read time on busy dial.
Before and after shots, opinions?
I'm liking this much clearer to read time on busy dial.
I would agree that the hands compliment the busy dial.
Yeah, nice mod. How easy? What did you paint it with?
I used Humbrol matt white, thinned down and did several coats, left the hands on and protected the face with paper cut outs under the hands
there was only lume on the minute and hour hands which wasn't very bright anyway, I mixed into the white humbrol a small amount of lume powder(bought on here) so I now have lume on all hands
Ah, cool! I wondered if you'd have to remove the hands.
*scratches chin*
You don't fancy selling me some do you? (I don't have either the paint nor the powder.)

Can you post a picture in the dark showing the lume?Originally Posted by K300
as soon as I take one I will, but you'll have to bear with me, I've never taken a lume shot before
Good luck then. :lol:
You will have to set the exposure to >1s. Obviously, holding the camera in your hands rather than using a tripod will have your photo being submitted as Top Ebay Photograph 2011 entry.
That looks so much better :thumbright:
Set your camera to an exposure time of 1 second. Get it steady (a tripod or a set of books). Focus on the watch. Make the room dark. Take a flashlight and shine it on your watch for about a minute. Turn of the fleshlight and press the button of your camera. (don't us flash :!: )Originally Posted by K300

well here you are chaps, quite pleased with my first ever lume shot, and the painted on lume is a pretty good match with the original
(just taken a few minutes ago(resting my hand on a box so not the best)
That's pretty good! (Lume and photo!)

Er. You know I was kidding, right? It'll be a cold day in hell before I swap my realdoll.com for a Fleshlight. NSFW!!
:lol:
Your mod look original and better than the original, nice idea thats really come off . Well done abd as a by product I now know how to get a photo of my 'lume'.....
Agreed. I am not a fan of hands that split the lume up.
+1. Nice mod!Originally Posted by Sancho Panza
It was particularly good idea to paint the timer hands white, the idea to have them "Victorinox red" was just a triumph of design over practicality. And the effect really good, both in readability and esthetics.
PS I Hope, I did not put to many spelling mistakes in the long words!
looks less dark, paint looks fresher than the lume...
