My first vertical conversion attempt

Heather- I smoothed it out with a Dremel so there are no sharp points. Is that good enough, or should I still coat it?
Bill- Yes, I am going to paint it dark gray and give it some depth. I am hoping it will look like this when done>

Coolio! I know you probably thought of this, but a dry brush layer of black paint in spots first will really add depth. So would some white as the last layer.
