Working with blackend brass.
Canute replied to SiriusVoyager's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
Could applying a liver of sulfur solution be used to darken the brass. It doesn't stain wood. -
Milk delivery wagon by RGL - FINISHED - Miniart - 1/35
Canute replied to RGL's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Those are some long-lived trucks. This will be fun with droids. -
Will be an interesting build. Sharp looking car. Chip Foose cars are really attention getters.
-
Very nice. We see and hear them in our creek valley, flying top cover.
-
This should another great build. I'll follow this one, too.
-
I'm in too, with Jack up in the cheap seats.😄

Another beauty, Eric. I vote for an overturned boat, due to not wanting to have to empty it when it rains. 😄 More of an aside: I spent last weekend in Collinsville, IL, outside St Louis at their annual prototype modeling meet. 3D printing is taking over the model RR hobby. The folks doing it are the more modern modelers, but the products cover a longer time frame. They even do people in the usual model RR scales. One fellow will even laser scan you and make prints of you.

You might want to look at Pan Pastel weathering powders https://modelingcolors.com/index.html They don't disappear if you clear-coat over them, like some chalks have a tendency to do. They have a wide range of colors and can be bought in various sets for particular uses like a grime set or a rust set. Really like how this pile driver is coming together. 👍

Jaguar XK-E by CDW - Gunze Sangyo High Tech Model - 1:24 Scale
Canute replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Nice rehab of this kit. Looking forward to your redo. We had a guy in the neighborhood where I grew up that had an E in British Racing Green. Sharp color. -
Nicely done rails and belts.
-
They've got a good plan to attract new modelers. 👍 Just hope the decals are well thought out for easy application. Model builders are getting rare. 🙁

If Rob is doing the build, I'm in. This car was and is a classic. 👍

Keith, I'll tag along too. These marine pile drivers were all over the place in any harbor. I know the many miles of piers in New York harbor needed constant replenishment. I know the Lackawanna RR had 2. I spent too much time staring out at the heavy traffic in that harbor from my calculus classes in Hoboken. Who made the HO model?

The turret looks like the ones used on their amphibious tank, the PT-76. Yes, very industrial, Greg.
-
You might look at using a dressmaker's pounce wheel. It will make indented lines of rivet/nail/screw heads.
-
Like Jack, I was looking for the pumpkin head for this figure.
-
Ed's looking pretty good, Craig. Like OC says, you'll do fine.. The Rat Fink is definitely a blast from the past.
-
Stunning shots in sunlight, Rob. She looks good enough to top off the fluids and take her out for a spin. 👍
-
Even here in the mountains, normally cooler than lower elevations, we have a relative humidity of 70%. It's 81/27 but thanks to the humidity its 84/29. No hiding from hot summer weather.🥵

The lancer looks good, Alan. The lance looks like one of my tulip poplars out back that survived an assault by the kudzu invasion. A bit of a curlicue in the trunk.
