Bits, Pieces, & Clutter

Once again something small...

I already showed this beginning in the Caboose thread:



After applying a coat of matte sealer and a couple of coats of hairspray, the sign and post were painted an aged white, using a mix of Tamiya "White" and  "_". I then did a drawing of the sign in CAD to create a masking guide. On the right one can see the drawing, and on the left is the sign on the guide, masked-off, ready for paint.



Here you can see the sign after application of the faded red color. Also shown is the post, which has been chipped.

amazingly real texture Marc ! I really need to get on board with this type of finishing.

What type of sign is that? I missed the caboose thread.

Not bad for an amateur. -- Russ

Can't resist cross-posting this one from my garage thread ... it's an objet d'art (aka clutter) made from bits-n-pieces!

Details make the scene. This is a good library.

Dallas,

Your bolt man reminded me or an old display of a bolt man chasing a bolt worman.  The caption was, "Not without a washer you won't"

Thanks for the DVD.

Don't mind me ...



Just scratchbuilding some little trash cans to help with the clutter in this thread! 

Cheers,
Dallas

Scratchbuilt  . Those look great Dallas! Looking forward to see how they were made - no I won´t copy them the fan is enough.

Great thoughts, Dallas. René Descartes would be proud of you : 'Je pense donc je suis'.

[Malachi Constant]

First can was tricky (lots of error in the trail-and-error) ... second and third cans were a snap.  I'll post an SBS as soon I get a chance to sort out the photos.

Cheers,
Dallas

Cogito ergo sum.............. I'm pink, therefore I'm spam!

Thanks guys -- glad you like the cans!  Posted the SBS photos in the 1/35 Auto Repair Shop thread here:

Yeah, what he said. And the fabrication technique is very, very clever. -- Russ
