Thanks, Mike! First some vinyl spackle to round out the edges and cracks. Then I use a palette knife with acrylic gel medium to skim coat the surface. When it's dry, I'll carve down any offending splooges with an X-acto knife, then start coloring with acrylic paints and washes.

The painting is the really fun part.
