crazyrichard Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 not done and no he door is not fixed to the wall , just clamped it inbetween the opening for pictures , still need some rails layer of silver , some decals a yellow stripe for safety and tbh the yellow line works most for realism en to break the silver a bit ...

crazyrichard Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 just rubbed the silver with a cloth , not really vivible on the picture because the sulver lights up but on eye sight the edges are darker wich gives it more depth ...added a strip on top and 2 rivets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 while the door guiders i painted need a lot of drytime .. i started some more woodwork , placed strips of hardwood along the offve edge to create some more depth 2 protective strips along the sides of the bottom parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 thnx blair the door is fitted , front runner on , need to make a rear one .. sadly after gluing it affected the sides of the door a bit .. but after some rubbing with a cloth it want so bad , actually with minour weathering it might look cool.. later i do want to add some very very mild wethering , like where the chain hangs .. irl no matter how clean a garage is there will be some minour black on the wall from hands .. so the plan is to do sime very very mild weathering , like still clean and glossy ..but weather stuff that isnt sticking out or makes it look real dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthehobbyguy Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Gets better every update. What is the souce of the little red go cart I ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) thnx bib , the kart is scale 1/25 and like a iron with plastic model , its from majorette , labelen Kart ref 299a ech 1/25 today i painted the rims of the kart all silver insde , painted the steering wheel center chrome and painted the engine chrome , is drying atm .. got this from my son , dont know where it came from .. cool littke thing but just a half hour ago i went nuts !!! in a good way i found matte photopaper , all my prints ahere done on regulair white a4 paper ... i just really started printing recently (in the hotrod garage) .. problem was tiny flyers and books where impossible to print sharp and readable in the right scale ... i have a good printer and print in high quality .. so when i found the thick smooth matt paper we used way back to print a photo i wanted to try it to make a sign and thought the thickness might make it look more like a real sign printed it and went mad .. it was sooo sharp !!! so i started printing stuff i printed before and it was like whoooooowww.. also reprinted the shop logo made it more bright red instead uf dark red and man how sharp !! i might have to redo the logos on my old dio's some day !! and then printed this a small flyer from mercury and omg its readable and soo small , this opens so much possibility's for books and details ad's so much more realism Edited September 14, 2014 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 here you can see i painted the rims , engine and steering wheel center of the kart .. the engine needs some detail but hey its just a cool thing to add on making pictures made a desk , like a clean workbench in the office for special assembly andto have workbooks .. etc .. i think i will make the same one but different , the cabinets are from lego and whell not real sure on those ... made a box on the bench , designed it myself in fotoshop and printed it but the vibe is cool like still the 60's look but not too much .. so i can keep the table and chairs , for customers to hang out or to have a chat about a project etc ... more detail will come off course ..in this garage i want to go even more into the details then the hotrod garage like really make a lot of tiny stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 cool, cool, cool! Always nice to see, what you are doing...and always very good for insperation. a couple days ago, i saw the last update. the first update i read was your "paintingexcess" with your Logo on page two or so.... so far, as good...my intention was, to print it in high quality on a glossy photopaper. If i need such stuff, i print all on semigloss or gloss Photopaper in high quality. looks like your last update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) thnx and yes works great on semi gloss got a day off work today and changed the desk / bench for the office , i decided totally clean and crisp wasn my cup of tea , looks a bit to static and its a garage , so i tried to find a compromise with it looking a bit more rough but not real weathered and not rusted just used .. thats my plan throughout the garage from now .. shiney and used looks i will loose the red stools , those bases are to thick ... it kinda looks nice in different places but this one will sit in the office , will make a matching chair with steel and wood , in the garage i will make larger benches and in a corner so the have like a L shape Edited September 15, 2014 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpletcher55 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 i,m digging this ,nice bench , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) thnx made a test version of a stool with wooden seat , the test was to get a round real wooden seat out of coffe stirers .. the base looks horrible too big , too thick but i will make a second version .. just used hard plastic card made a circle glued the wood on with super glue and uses scissors to cut the wood round (bit to wide) and sanded the edges .. then sanded round edges on the wood , works perfect curious on your opinions about the weathered look , like the balance between stuff looking used but still somewhat shiney .. the bech is for me like a used steel base and the wood is stained and has like a gloss look .. so not too weathered .. trying to keep myself in control ..weathering wise hahaha Edited September 16, 2014 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Like the idea of some weathering instead of having that just finished look. However weather just to the level of normal wear and tear becuase you want the slightly used look not abused look. Is the theme still a man cave as that makes a difference in how much weathering should be done. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 What kind of wood are you making most of this out of? I swear one day I'm going to make a diorama. But I dont think it will be nearly as good as anything youve done Richard. Just awesome work! I cant get over your ability to find some every-day item that most would not look twice at before throwing it away, and you see something else in it and turn it into a part or a piece of furniture, or the heater from your last hot rod garage... I cannot get over your creativity. It's amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 thnx guys and bob no not a mancave , changed to just a garage .. but the desk isnt looking real abused right ? like its still in tact , nor real damaged , no rust .. i found it got that like nice worked with / on vibe ..but you will see when the rest comes together wont be all the same some things will be more crisp and others more used .. sort of balanced a bit .. like in a garage you often see older furniture / machines etc mixed with newer stuff ..i'm just not the guy too keep it all 100% crisp and ....loland jesse the wood in the garage on the walls , those thin strips those are the only things i bought , in a modelstore a while back , its real hardwood ... the large pieces of wood on the office are just scraps i found some day ..and the wood on the bench and stool are wooden coffee stirrers , i got a whole bag from a guy at a place i had to go for work , started about modelling and the wooden strirrers they had at the coffe machine and he said waight and gave me a whole bag full..but i already found them online a whole box of wood stirrers about 1000 pieces for maybe 10 euro .. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Still awesome that you have the imagination to use these things that would probably just get thrown away and then you turn it into something awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Still awesome that you have the imagination to use these things that would probably just get thrown away and then you turn it into something awesome! yes usually i see things in "stuff" haha , btw i dont only do that in modelbuilding i often use stuff to build stuff irl lol but to follow up on my promise that the previous stool was a test here is the new and final version , already to dark to shoot some silver on the base so that will have to waight until tomorrow a lot of you guys will recognise the well known revell steering wheel as foot rest , i only removed one spoke (?) and left 2 and sanded into shape ... works great used a deep dish steering wheel and used only the spakes as a base that rest on the ground , piece of sprue , glued it and stuck a hot needle through it all for extra stability .. added a ring on top to make it thicker and voila ...
