Those are beautiful Gordon!  But what is that strange foreign manhole cover?

[Gordon Ferguson]

Thanks folks.

Oh Chuck, now you will have started something ........ We will have Nick on muttering about colonials rubbishing our glorious Monarchs currency, etc, etc ,etc ............

Esteemeds gents, I'm simply amazed of what I see here, generaly speaking.

And here's my humble contribution - a 1/16 sewer lid, if I'm correct.
Made of some bits of styrene, as you may see, just in few hours. But the weathering ... some days ...
Painted with acrilics, 3-4 layers, pastels with turpentine and, in the end, real rust.
If you ask me ... I like the resulting texture.

Gordon, those trash cans are amazing! I'd like to know how you did them.

Alex, nice work on that sewer grate!

Alex, the results justify your effort. Very adequate. -- Russ

[Chuck Doan]

Nice one Alex!

[Gordon Ferguson]

Love the texture you achieved on that Alex.


Similar idea in 1/35 scale on a small test piece, this is a modified resin piece from Diorama Debris mould

[AlexG]

Much oblige, guys, glad if you like what I've done.
Gordon, I like your test, and I know now what to do with my grate.
Do you have, by any chnace, a color photo?

If is about me ... then is 58th ...  .
At 88th maybe I'll say "Too old to die, too young to rock'n'roll" ... if I remember me well  .
Thanks and agree with you - Long live the Queen! I like her very much and I'm so sad not having a King also ... on the throne.
