Nice job on the bench!  You are making this look so real I can't believe my eyes. 

[crazyrichard]

lol thnx well its finally progressing now , i have bright led lights to make like hanging lights later on and spotlights .. then when all the tools and jacks and stuff will come in the realism will only increse
also want to make cartboard boxes and stuff .. so much in my head that still needs to ome out lol


today continued the storage room and attic i wanted some doors and used the pieces that where suppost to go on my opel blitz coe truck , since i build that as a hotrod truck i had these to play with

they where to small in width so i used some styrene



placed them opened up like this



painted the doors green and the hinges steel , and modiefied the stairs so they steps are now level ..
i'm happy with the result these are all cut pieces from the big attic i first made



set in place



then called a mechanic to screw a piece of diamond plate on top







in the beginning i made a scratch build colom drill and grind/polisher , now thinking where to place them and make a base plate and get some powerlines to them and make a biymore detail like switches

thnx guys

strated to scratch build a cabinet to hang above the workbench , used steel pins as knobs for the doors
and again placed the doors slightly open for that extra dimension



did the cabinet red , its real fireengine red but due to the evening pics it looks real dull



also did the workbench red , not completly , just a mix



strated some piping , its the first rough placement , where the pipes meet i will make a sleeve and i will make a shutter with turnwheel and some brakets





the reason the rear inside was not painted > placed some diamond plate in there to ad some bling ..
its all filthy and weathered and now i'm at the point where every now and then i will ad some more shiney things to balance it out a bit



my 1/24 employees are present

[crazyrichard]

thnx guys


did a nother round on the red cabinet , the workbench , desk and heater

first used some dark wood-stain (clear) on the wooden tops and those really popped and came to life.
then did some clear on all the red parts wich also did a lot
and last used some matt black over the previous grey i put on it as weathering so there where to tones of darked grease and filth dirt







the attic was a bit blend with the silver and green so i redid the railing with real wood and used wood tstain on that as well
will make a raling along the stairs in the same style with wood on top







and made some more magazines , now did the classic hotrod issues from back in the day

[krazyglu]

OH MY WOW!!! Richard this is so amazing I am speechless, you are truly a master of your craft. 

[crazyrichard]

thnx for the awsome comment


made a storage peice for teh grease barrels , i want to make some sort of pump with lines so they can get grease there



painted it red first



and added a large valvoline decal en "some" grease





i also bought a desk a while ago , it said 1/24 but was way to wide for the scale so i cut that in half in lenght

then used the 2 parts like this to make a narrower long workbench , added a small pillar in themiddle for strenght and a new pillar under the colkomn drill , left overs from the altered lanterns on the wall



the drill with real drill bit , will get all new paint from top to bottom



will place it like this when finished



made a door front with knob and added a wooden top out of 3 strips of wood and painted it with wood stain

[charlie8575]

Simply remarkable. The details are the stars and they really shine here.

Great realism Richard! But you really should add a handrail to the stair.... or someone's going to have a large hospital bill....!

Keep up the great work.

Tony

[crazyrichard]

haha thnx

finished the second bench ,polisher and drill , gave them a new green coat of paint , weathered them with black and rust en a bit of clear so there is some shine





then used one half of a aeroplane bomb and made a sleeve on the pipes so its thicker and added a shutter wheel
its high up but thats because the building had previous uses and thats from the early days



the black i put on the pipes looked terrible so i painted them green



then painted the shutter wheel red , thats actually a steering wheel from a formula one car (smaal size was perfect).
i just removed one center spoke and made teh edge ribbed



added a powerline to the drill



some brackets on the piping and rusted them a bit in places made it so the rust runend down along the wall





all together shot

Great stuff Richard !!   I definitely want you on my team !!!! 

[crazyrichard]

Great stuff Richard !!   I definitely want you on my team !!!! 

 
hey thnx     !! and what team do you mean ????


i will add a ton of tiny details like rattle cans , tin cans , boxes , tools etc etc

so i thought i'd start making some stuff inbetween the bigger items

first made a wooden shelf above the left bench , i will add a nother one next to it and maybe 2 higher up , why will be clear in this post so i can fill them with smalls



luckely i found a trophy in my partsbox , it needed to be glued together i got that from some partsboxes i got from a friend who didnt used the stuff , glued it together and painted it gold > so i already got a price hahaha
the base will be black later on



then went wild and scratched these tiny cans





and sprayed a bucket out of the fujimi kit silver (so didnt made that myself)



painted the cans orange and glued them in place



here you can see how cool it will be with filled shelfs of tiny things , so that will grow in time from here on

[gasser59]

Good looking progress Richard. Are you planning on putting the tool box that's on the floor on a table or cabinet? I know I would get a sore back leaning down all the time to get a particular tool.

 

Carry on.

[crazyrichard]

thnx
 
yes that is just sitting there for now , so much to make still
 
atm building a rolling table for parts and stuff


first hang some big vintage posters on the left wall , need some pins or maybe a frame to make it more real
