Thank you very much!  I painted the inside of the barrel- cab  And mounted the dashboard to the ceiling.  The bed is also painted  I consider whether lamps, as part of the front-lighting i should use.  Maybe these?   |

Nice little find on the "lamps" Bobby! I had to go back and look at Newt's drawing and although he does have them just mounted to the sides...maybe little decorative hangers(somthing scroll style or vining grape branches & leaves?) to hang them on with the handles? Either way it's your project and whatever you do..I'm sure it will look great! Keep up the great work on this Masterpiece!

Your getting there!!! This is going to be one of the coolest builds ever!!! Very, very impressive Bobby!!! I agree about using some scroll work hangers for the lights. A simple set could be fashioned from some wire. Are you going the have a cyclops light in the barrel like Newt's drawing.

Thank you very much! Flocking is a very easy way to add a great deal of realism to a model’s interior.  Actually this is not new for me and always made good results. Well, until now!  I let the base color dry, and use Elmer’s glue(white glue). It did not work. I knew immediately what was wrong: You need to use a FLAT paint, or spray the area with some dull coat clear. White glue will NOT stick to a glossy surface!!!   I use a semigloss...     The result: I am frustrated and start something new ...These ornaments are very poorly cast. I would daintier / fine carving it. Before:  After:  But, after hours of carving, I finally change again: I am frustrated and start something new...  Maybe you know now my attitude... |

Is there any posibility of getting one of your builds. . . with out selling the farm?
Great work. . . .you must have great eyes to work so small. . . or a big magnifying glass! ! ! !

Your right! I made this EXACT same mistake when I first started using flocking! (You can use glossy paint too if it's laid on heavy!)

Real wild. Love this build. Looks real good. I think it would cost the farm to get something like this off hobbybobby .. that is some bad a$$ work.

Thank you! Unfortunately, this is a perennial plant.  It's only like this: After a failure, I move it out too long... Certain steps need more to overcome... Flocking, The second attempt. This time I did it directly with the color. The color first applied to the parts, then sprinkle the velvet powder before it dries. It works... Remember: Be sure to use a dust mask! The stuff is so fine and it flies around everywhere! A big mess!  The stuff is somehow statically charged, it's everywhere!  This is the result: I'm very satisfied now... ;D  This is a current assembly: But it is not yet a part fixed...   I hope, you like it so far... |
