I absolutely agree with Rick about the undershadowing-this is looking brilliant.Don't rush it . Coming on beautifully. The under shadowing has really made it "POP" Keep up the good work Scottie.
Cheers, Rick H.
The good news is it is finished so you will see it tomorrow hopefully it wont disappoint in the flesh. My photography normally manages to mask the defects lol.Oh well will have to look on here then ..
Rick, Thanks mate it has turned out ok and I'm fairly happy with it.Don't rush it . Coming on beautifully. The under shadowing has really made it "POP" Keep up the good work Scottie.
Cheers, Rick H.
Neil, Thanks for the kind words on the vehicles hopefully the base will set them off ok.I absolutely agree with Rick about the undershadowing-this is looking brilliant.
I'm glad you're not rushing it. That would be criminal after such a fine build on the vehicles
Jim, Thanks fella. My brother brought me some moulds a few years back, this is the first time I have used them. The original rocks were made from plaster but My mix was no good and they were very powdery. The next two batches were made by pressing air drying modelling clay into the moulds the advantage id it dries nice and hard plus with the bigger rocks I only had to press a skin onto the mould as opposed to filling the moulds completely helping to save weight. These could then be assembles together to give a random rock face hopefully it looks the part.Hi Scottie
That base is looking excellent. How are the rocks made? They look 100% realistic.
Jim
Jim, The moulds are from woodland scenic the two I have are mould numbers C1230 and C1236. HTHHi Scottie
Those rock moulds are certainly worth having. Very, very realistic. I understand the moulds were a present but do you have a make or a supplier.
This has been a really interesting threads.
Jim
Thanks Paul. The front wheel has moved a little I was trying to show the suspension movement due to the rocks but I may have over cooked it. Glad you like it."....as they enter the second chicane the Chevrolet muscles into the lead just as his front left suspension collapses sending his co-driver into the weeds..."
Very well done Scottie. This is right up there with your best. PaulE
Thanks mateThanks Scottie
It is Cosford show in April so I'll see if any are there. Enjoy your show tomorrow. I have no doubt you will have really positive comment.
Jim
Rick, Thanks mate. Your right they are pretty much scale neutral. I will try and get some pictures.Awesome piece of work Scottie and glad you finished it in time for the show. Nice thing about those rock moulds is they are scale neutral. Of course the effect
would be quite different in say 1/72 scale. Cheers and have fun at the show, Rick H.
p.s. I hate to beg but some pics. of the show would be nice...
Yes mate I look forward to catching up tomorrow.Paul .
Well done looks a treat, looking fwd to seeing you again and the builds in the flesh. Bringing my camera this year, so have your best suit ready
John .
Thank you mate glad you like it. It was just on show. There isn't a competition table they walk round the tables and pick what they like.Stunning diorama mate. I dont know how you pulled this one out of the bag before the show. Did you enter it in the competition or was it just on show for everyone's enjoyment??
