Danny Lectro Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Barry, it's great to see you here. I always enjoyed your work when you posted it on Starship Modeler. I'm looking forward to seeing what you pull out for this Community Build.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 14, 2012 Author Posted January 14, 2012 It's amazing what a little bit of energy, inspiration, and styrene addiction will do to ya! Keep the eye candy flying, folks! It's a wonderful time to be a model builder!
customcreator Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Nice work Barry, and pure inspriation. I have a quick question for all you pros out there(one of many I am sure) Is there somewhere I can get a big "variety" pack of styrene/evergreen? I know I buy my wood in little pack with all different size and shapes. Looking for rods and stuff.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 14, 2012 Author Posted January 14, 2012 Here's a little eye candy for this lovely and cold Saturday. Enjoy:
Chillyb1 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 How did I miss Barry's arrival? Glad to see you here. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my Volkswagen. But I'm sure I'll draw some inspiration from all the cool vehicles you guys are coming up with. Keep it up!
Barry Harker Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Thanks for your Comments guys, and its good to see you on here Danny ! And Hello Jamie, Here is some of the Styrene that I use called "Plastistuct" I have also used Evergreen, and both are made in the US. I get my styrene from two places, my local model shop and online from a company here in England called E.M.A they are based out of Sheperton "they supply the effects film industry" Ihave used them since I was at collage and at work, and they do supply world wide, However if you just go online. theres plenty of places to order this stuff from, although I will say its not cheap ! I use Plastic weld to "melt" the parts together and I use a fine Dropper to apply the weld as I have greater control than you do with a brush....and its less messy and wasteful ! Hope that Helps you out a bit Custom Creator, All the best, Barry. Edited January 14, 2012 by Barry Harker
Hippie Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Wow!, Barry your work looks great, for plastic here in the state I would mostly use 'Evergreen' brand its much cheaper then "Plastistuct" and offers most of the same stuff, but "Plastistuct" dose have some specialty shapes that "Evergreen" doesn't make. Thanks for the comment about the gas can but I was being sarcastic, its just a simple gas can nothing special.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 14, 2012 Author Posted January 14, 2012 Barry, your painting is FABULOUS. Great work, and I am delighted to have you on board. I am sure you are going to continue creating some wonderful vehicles.
customcreator Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Yea, my LHS has it, and I know it's not cheap, that's why I am kind of looking for a variety pack so I can get a couple sizes all in one whack without having to buy multiple packages. Thanks for the great info though, sorry to steer the thread off track
