nice indeed !

thnx wayne .. well been watching a lot of stuff here .. replyed sometimes but i just didnt have as much time lately ..i just have so much other stuff going on beside modelbuilding and forums in the summer

hey guys whell after the hotrod garage and the old gasstation diorama and not building anything this summer , it started to ich so i started a new base for a garage , all made from old stuff i had lying around .. old wood base with side of old flooring laminate decided this one should have like a separate office and i thought it would be cool to put in 3 windows and then on the inside make like a wall with big windows so the light shines in today i painted the floor with multiple layers untill i got this effect wich i liked , now this is a more modern looking garage in comparison to the hotrod garage i did .. but not hyper modern .. i want to keep this one cleaner but still apply some weathering to bring it alive , will be much milder then the other one ... after the floor i used old ribbed plastic window blinds for the lower side like some sort of high kick panel to protect the walls against weld sparks and damage .... above that a edge from real hard wood wich i stained with wood stain on top of that to get a smooth wall base where i can work on ... old smooth plastic window blinds now i would have to make window frames , walls , a attic with stairs .. and loads of stuff .. will be putting in a lot of detail and machines and stuff this one basicly will be 100% scratch build from garage to tools and machines ... where i will use as much old scrap stuff as possible ... its just a start all still rough

ooh nice

yes like said no problem , just gave the idea behind the weathering i just love to do that more then shiny .. and in this case this model is just for fun , my first creation ever ... wanted to have some fun .. atm with the nice weather and other hobbys in the summer i just dont feel like building much , i also have way less time for forums and to keep up with everything here .. too busy

dang ira thats awsome ... but whell loved all your creations so haha

no offence taken ... but whell maybe i like this look / style .. best way to describe would be i like building something weathered more just for the proces of weathering .. its just fun to do ... and yes i do like the look of weathered cars .. but thats not the main reason i do it and i dont agree with the fact that high gloss takes more effort , in fact in a lot of cases weathered builds are harder (not this one but ..>) and if you think its because i want to hide stuff or dont know gloss here is some 1/24 stuff i build > and yes thats really smooth as glass and i did the black and the clear with rattle cans .... so and on my gasstation diorama i made this .. trust me nothing about that is slapping some stuff on and done ... just saying because i think its more a matter of taste then ... the most awsome build i have seen involved weathered stuff ..

whouw what a awsome job !!

hi all , this model rod is very special to me ! , this is the one that started my modelbuilding "career" i got this packard for free a few years back , new in the box bit it was a bit damaged ... i started to play around with this die-cast and turned it into a hotrod , i didnt have any tools , paint or ... never build models when i got this packard ... after this packard i got the modelbuild fever and after bying a nother die-cast (bug) and playing around with that i started to find awsome 1/24 and 1/25 builds online and got my first plastic kit this was the packard when i got it i build a hotrod out of the packard .. then changed it later on and ordered a 1/18 blown engine ... i took a 1/16 ferrari v8 and merged the parts with the other engine last week i took the rod out of storage and gave it some powders and played around with it this morning i figured why not make it like its been on the salt flats ... so i put it on the bench and this was the result > (used white pigment powder) just thought i'd share it here .. again its a very old build and changed 2 times , when i was just starting building .. beside the weathering i dont want to upgrade anything because this is the one that started it all in the future and with a lote more learnt since this rod i want to start a 1/8 hotrod build
