Peterpools Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Oliver Some very nice work on the toolbox and the sign, wow, it has all the details normally never modeled. Awesome work as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark64 Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Started on the chain link fence around the red and white field building. Only a small portion of the building will be seen behind the fence in the corner. This is happens when I start looking at top model shows like the one in Bron...so many talented modelers beside the wood base won't be here for another week so I am stuck messing around building stuff. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Will you need a bigger base? 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Wow, your 1/32 toolbox looks better then my 1/1 box. You are really in a league of your own, fantastic scratch build abilities, building and painting as well. I like how your paintjobs look super realistic, but somehow have a trademark look of yours. Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Oliver Nice work on laying lot the components. The gate and wall are shaping up quite nicely. So glad you decided on the large base as more real estate the better - also, a lot more work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark64 Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Started on the building. i used Tamiya light Grey primer first then some shading in flat black and red brown, sanded smooth before the flat white coat. 2 thin coats of Flat white then applied Vallejo Grey white and sanded that coat smooth. I will let this dry for several days before applying the flat red squares. I did not want to push the shading too much at this stage. I did finish building the gates, I had to make level so extented the poles at the bottom. I will add some signage on the gates and the building as well. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark64 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Well, that did not go as planned. Masking the red squares took a while since I had to cut every square to size. The red paint bled all over the white, I think I used an old wide tape roll so it did not stick well. This looks real bad to me so I will try to clean it up. I will have to mask every white squares and respray white. I think making individual squares was a mistake, I believe the door frame and the AC exhaust should have been added after the red and white square job in order to run a clean tape pattern. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Irritating as it must be, I can't imagine that real checkerboard markings are perfect. Leaving a little bleed in evidence might actually increase realism? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I can really imagine a sarge giving private Doe a pot of red paint and a brush « Now paint me some red checkers on that wall ! And you’ve got to finish by tomorrow, or you will do 50 pushups ! » Not sure that private Doe will have used a ruler, pencil and masking tape … Hubert 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
