That's awesome.  So much to see.  Are those little homies or figures from somewhere else?

[ChrisR]

COOL!!!!

[TonyK]

Very fun to look at. The guy with his shirt off appears to want the attention drawn to him. Great job on this!

[cobraman]

Very nice diorama.

Yes they do. I scratch built all the masters and Modelhuas cast them for me. I built a small scale car carrier tractor trailer rig to haul some of them just cause I could.lots of small scale fun went into those.

unfortunately, I can not give you a link to order the pedal car because my German friend had made a limited quantity (at the time) and he sold everything

Darn shame. Thanks.

Bonjour Jean-Claude!

Great dio, very convincing.

I'm curious: how do you call the painting technique used on the lower rosy section of the gold SUV? It looks a bit like House of Kolor's Marblelizer, but it might be your own motif or stenciling technique? 

Merci!

Hello Claude

to make the effect, I used the color "metallic pearl" (createx), then I crumpled transparent food film and patted with that the paint to dry and after I added "purple candy" (Créatex )and I started again with the film

[Claude Thibodeau]

Salut Jean-Claude!

Thank you for the reply.

Your technique duplicates the effect achieved with the HOK Marbelizer, which is an oily semi-metallic "paint" designed to be applied in a thin coat over a contrasting base-coat. Then, a sheet of plastic wrap is dropped on the freshly applied coat of Marbelizer, and quickly removed. The random contact patch of the plastic film mars the wet surface, just like you obtain when you patted your surface with the plastic film. Same results, different technique. A candy coat is then superposed. 

I never used Createx myself, but I suppose it is NOT solvent based. If it were, it would mar the base coat and create a mess at the contact points. It is therefore a good medium to superpose the pearly marble effect on your base coat. 

Great technique and results, bravo!

Salutations,
