thanks men , i'm glad that you love it !

[Restoration]

ok men, this one is finish !

[Restoration]

thank you friends!

For the method, it is simple. (hope that everybody understand, i use google translator !)

As a reminder, I only painted the acrylic, Liquitex diluted alcohol at 70 ° all passed the single-action airbrush to 10 euros on a well known auction site.

1 / I first had a layer of black on the body

2 / I spend a veil (very diluted paint, very liquid) brown (Raw Umber) once the black dry

3 / I balance of keys Burnt Sienna Burnt in places.

4 / I start my keys with color again a veil of Earth sienna

5 / Once this is done and dry, I spray a good dose of hairspray on the whole and before drying I sprinkle salt.

6 / When the airspray dry, i paint with the last color, here green.

7 / Once the color box is dry, I can only pass the model under water to remove salt and "work" the paint to get the desired effect. In fact the hair spray protects the color of rust base and allows me to remove the green where I want.

8 / Finally, I will complete the effect with touches of rust pigments that will slightly melt the rust stains with paint.

Here, as usual, is my method of pretending, that is relatively simple and efficient!

My tubes for different layers and veils basis for rust:

thanks men.

To engrave the foam, here is the different step with some pics, you'll see it's very easy !

First i cut some line

with a hobby knife

then with a pen to have a larger line

after that you can cut your brick

and here is the result

[Restoration]

thnaks men !

Here is the last pics of my work on this dio. The frame of the 32 is already done :

After, you have to take your dry pigment

and with a brush, put some pigment on the wall

you will have this

Then make a wash with black paint and alcohol

You'll have this

After, an other wash with the first color

And you'll have this

Then you have to let dry the wall over a night

I hope that it's clear for all like this !

thanks all, here is a tip to do the brick job

ok guy, here is the pics for an illustrated how to !

If some point are not clear enough ask me, i'll try to give you an answers

So first you have to engrave your wall in polystyrene foam (you can use blue insulating foam at Home Depot in US for example). Here i use some Depron (that's use to made light RC plane)

To engrave the material, let's have a look to this photos wich show you how to do the better job for that :

Here i made my wall like this and here is the result

I haven't got pics for the primer of my work with the Gesso, but you just have to paint the wall with it,

and when it's dry, you paint with the first color !

and you have this when the paint is dry

Then you take the 3 other color

And paint randomly some brick

Hi all,

Here is my last work in progress, this guy is working on his little hot rod.

I Started this diorama on the 15 of april, and here where the work after 1 month

I know, there is too much brick, but i love them !

[Car Wash : Max, throw the sponge !]

I understand the layout. It appears just as it may appear in a photograph, where the building may appear "cut off". This may be because the building would not necessarily be the center of attention in the scene.

In other words, it looks good!

Exactely, thanks

[Car Wash : Max, throw the sponge !]

il dit que c'est une honte de ne pas avoir fait toute la façade

C'est ce que j'avais compris, mais à mon avis, la traduction pure ne traduit pas le sens de sa phrase !

[Car Wash : Max, throw the sponge !]

Your details are great, but I have to wonder about the "chopped off" garage... it's a shame you didn't do the whole front end of the garage.

sorry but i don't understand, what do you mean by the "whole front end of the garage" ?

[Car Wash : Max, throw the sponge !]

Yes, the end nears, i still have to do the effects of water and wet on the ground.

Well I painted my figure with my meager knowledge, the purist on the figurines will be convulsed with laughter, but hey, again, i am too bad for this job.

Anyway, overall it goes not too bad, I finally found!

A ton of pictures but I'm pretty happy with the scenery:

[Car Wash : Max, throw the sponge !]

Thanks men

That's awsome. You really know how to set a scene, and you have excellent scratch building skills.

Your photography is very good too. What camera and settings are you using?

It's an old Nikon coolpix like this one

But i take my pics in a light photo box

Hi Phil

This is a very well designed and executed diorama. The story is there, the workmanship is there and the compsition is excellent. One thing did catch my attention though. To me your garden hose looks more like a fire hose. It looks to be out of scale. I think it should be about 1mm in diameter to be in scale.

Thanks

Carl

i i saw that but i have nothing else to do my garden hose. in real it's not so bad, and i make a new composition for it inside the scenery, it's better (for me !)

[Car Wash : Max, throw the sponge !]

Hi, here is the last update before the finish pics. I've to paint the figure and some little work on the ground to represent some wet zone and this one will be done !

[Car Wash : Max, throw the sponge !]

I start with the base :

Then i scratch the piece of the garage
