Lazy sunday today and instaed of doin some work on the modules, didn't feel like today, I started on a bunch of 0n30IMA reefers. Still laying around in a drawer..
But first of all a shot of the bushes on kraftpaper..think it's somekinda

Martin,
The cars look great but you better buy a 1/48 lawn mower! |

| The cars are coming along nicely. You want to try "blacken it" on those brass hand holds rather than paint. |

You guess right, Greg. Martin, not only was the process explained but also the steps shown, I think.
Nice cars. I agree with Bob on blackening rather than painting the handgrabs. |

Wow, Marty, great SBS...I am going to try that going for more of a mesquite / creosote bush look, as suggested by Delbert. |

I get my "blackin-it" from a jewelry supply house that supply supplies to people who make their own jewelry. I forget what the trade name is but it is used to add a patine to jewelry.
Cars are looking great.

That reefer looks familiar. I've found that the grabs I've been getting from Tichy have a slight twist to them and need to be straightened before installing or you'll end up with a canted (tipped) step.
For blackening, if you have any local gunsmiths or gunshop around, check with them as they use it to touch up parts. Otherwise, the jewelry store may have something.

Gunshop ? Well have to search for one
Let's do a real SBS on the bush making...
Base were I work on is a thin sheet of aluminium..
instead of taping I used non permanent sprayglue this time to hold the kraftpaper on the aluminium sheet (paper's the kind spraypainters use for masking) and painted it black/brown with a cheap wall latex..
The sisal rope in varoius stages and the tool I use for combing it a bit straight ( it's for the dog and from the petshop)
Changed the next step a bit, didn't like the clumbs of hot glue so I figured adding the bush frames befor groundcover would hide them a bit more..
also did a second sheet with 0.4mm florist wire ..
Like the hot glue for sopeeding up the proces. Next step is adding fast drying white glue to the sheet and a variety of sawdust from my workshop...with a coarse and fine sieve..
closer look..
Did put both sheets away to dry. Will post more steps later..

A quick search found a hunting store (Jagtlust) in Apeldoorn, but my dutch is rather rudimentary... I'm sure there must be more than one hunter's supply store in the Netherlands if you search your yellow pages. Gun blackening is available in several tones from bluish black to a warm brown for your old Purdey or Holland&Holland shotgun ;-) |
