gasser59 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks guys for your comments. They're really appreciated. Well, I pleased to report that yesterday the carney wagon took first place in the Light Commercial category at Desert Scale Classic right up the road from me as well as taking Best Interior. I was speechless and quite humbled.

gasser59 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 Well, in looking at this build the other day, I realized I had always wanted to redo the mirror. The BMF turned out bumpy so I'll use a piece of polished printing plate to cover the foil. The plate will be cut to fit directly over the existing mirror inside the frame. I tried to pop the mirror frame off and it wouldn't budge so I tried to take the cabinet off the wall and it was really stuck too. I was hoping the cabinet would come off so I could make a new one that the mirror door would open showing shelves and small items inside. Alas, not to be. I don't want to break anything.
misterNNL Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Superb model.Great planing,details and scale proportions.Makes me wish I had more thumbs as only two doesn't seem nearly enough to point up to express how impressed I am.This is surely a new bench mark for the rest of us mere mortals to aspire to.
gasser59 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Posted December 19, 2015 Thanks for your kindness Tom. Its much appreciated.
DumpyDan Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Wow man this is great, love the detail. Nice nice!
gasser59 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Posted December 26, 2015 Alright fellas. Happy holidays to all. I woke up this morning determined to get the mirror replaced and with a bit of polishing, I was able to get it done. Next, I want to separate the single interior window pane into the four like the outside. Here's the new mirror made with polished aluminum printing plate. More to follow.
frozono Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Awesome work..... the level of detail is excellent...... love it......
gasser59 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 Thanks Luis. I need to post a picture or two of the sectioned window frames now that they're done.
gasser59 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Here's a shot of the sectioned window pane as mentioned above. I want to put strings on the guitar but it is really stuck to the blanket. Since I can now print a pattern or other details on fabric paper, I may just pull it up, hopefully without destroying the bed. I also want to make a new pillow with less of a fabric pattern. Still a few more items to follow. Edited December 14, 2016 by gasser59
jasoncamaro Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Brad thanks for sending me the link today this is awesome i cant believe the details you put in this so cool !
gasser59 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks so much Jason. I had a lot of fun on this one. Have tentative plans to make another similar one.
gasser59 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Posted January 5, 2017 A bit of an update. For some time I have been trying to figure out a way to have an LED light inside the camper so there would be a bit of a glow through the window and open door. Crazy enough, I found a place selling LED earrings online and ordered a set. Now hold on, I'm not that kind of guy, but these earrings sure worked out well. They are powered by really tiny watch batteries so I can replace them when needed and I also have a back up. They had a fake diamond which I removed and then I cut away 3 of the 6 prongs that held it in. Then I cut a piece of clear plastic from a clam shell package and crested a domed top with a hook out of brass. It still needs some weathering but I couldn't wait to share this with you guys. I have a hook inside for the light as well as one outside the door. I'll get it weathered up a bit and take a couple more shots with it in place. I'm stoked.
blunc Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 nice find Brad.great job re-purposing the jewelry.
gasser59 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Posted January 5, 2017 Thanks Mike. I think I just got lucky. If I didn't have that on my mind, it would have never occurred to me.
Art Laski Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Well that's pretty awesome, Brad! Nice repurposing...
