OOB? (Improvised Modeling)

[marc_reusser]

Had a few minutes to model this evening, so I finished thecorrugated roofing.

I took a somewhat interpretative approach to the finish, and did it more overall rusty finish than actual roofing might be, but I needed it to act as an 'accent' color/finish on the base.

The paper was brush painted with Floqiuil "Roof Brown". After the surface appeared dry, I used a pin to poke nail/fastening holes and randomly brushed the pieces with various Bragdon's rust and black colored powders. The high points/ridges were then lightly rubbed with a soft cotton rag.



...and a detail view.

Well...I am not sure how I feel about the finish on it....but for now it will have to do. Time is fleeting.....





There is a good bit of wood graining...it just doesn't tend to show in the photos.

Having some time today, I decided to haul this project out of the drawer.

All he scrap/rubble/corrugated pieces that were previously made, were added to the base, and fixed with Diluted matte medium. Once dry everything was given a dusting of MIG "Brick Dust" and "Concrete" pigments, which where needed were held in place with MIG Pigment fixer.

The photos were taken hand held outside in natural sunlight....so sorry for the harsh contrast and slight unsharpness.
(I will reshoot them with tri-pod and proper lighting when I get a chance).

Here's another view of the overall base.....It will eventually sit in a black frame.
