This very opulent and lavish to the extreme console table and is a copy of an original (see last image). Made completely from Pewter Alloy.

12cm wide at its widest part (legs)

5.3cm deep

7cm high

 

I have to say that although there are not many parts to this kit is is a really tricky one to assmble and I do suggest using plasticine or clay to help support the legs as you stick them.

 

 

The kit is in the following sections:

  • Two front legs
  • Two rear legs
  • Top
  • Central cartouche

 

How to assemble

As with all kits remove the METAL flashing and the casting spurs using snips, files or brushes. 

For guidance I have some instructions in the images. 

 

How to paint

I recommend priming the mirror after assembling it with a metal spray primer.  This ensures your paint finish will be less likely to scratch off the metal pewter.

The better paint effects are usually achieve with a spray method this could be from a can or an airbrush. 

If you wish to use gold leaf then you should first apply a thin layer of red or yellow or even a gold so that when the gold leaf breaks the colour shows through. Next paint a thin layer of "size" - this is basically a glue that never stops being sticky. Apply your gold leaf or dutch metal and then finish by aging with some rotten stone and maybe some oil or acrylic paints thinned down and applied and wiped off to achive an aging effect (I like to use burnt umber for a warm hue or raw umber for a deep brown hue). If all that sounds too complicated then a spray of gold spray paint will look great. 

In reality there are endless ways to paint it. 

 

TOP TIP - assembly use a clay support and some superglue and superglue spray activator.
