Default Ramses III
Hi all
My 5 year old grandaughter has gotten into ancient Egypt in a big way, and has just had her bedroom themed. I cut this image of Ramses III for her wall and I think it turned out pretty well. I cut it from 8mm MDF seeing as how it would be painted. Added a couple of coats of paint and then gold metalic. Just needs a nice frame now.

Nice scrolling Mick! What kind of finish did you use? It looks like Ramses III is painted gold. Your portrait looks sharp!

Oh I do like that Mick. I had two weeks active duty for training at Cairo west in 1985. Brings back memories.

Thanks for your comments guys. Ava adores the picture. The background colour is just a couple of coats of silk emulsion to match the bedroom decor, and the figure is done in metallic gold paint from Opulence which my daughter is doing some hyroglyphs with. I sealed the wood first with diluted PVA and sanded.
I did do the pattern Kevin. Got the pic from a copyright free site. If anyones wants it give me a shout.
