5x5x7 project (1/35 scale)

Frame ready for paint. Journal bearings are just set in place, so that wheels can be removed for seperate paint and weathering.

Frame primed with Mr. Surfacer 1000; Grandt-Line Delrin wheel bearings primed with Mr. Surfacer Resin Primer, after parts were scuffed with a fiberglass brush.

Nice!  Glad to see you back to this project. -- Dallas

I was wondering whether you have been too swamped with work to do much modeling. Glad you are still messing around. -- Russ

....just doing a little on this project, and a little of that, and some on the other....trying to squeeze some in between work and the bike.

Marc,

really nice job on the frame and as inspiring as ever- just looked back over the pages of this project and the work is fantastic.

Looking forward to seeing more when you get chance.

Base color (a mix of Tamiya; Hull Red, Brown, and Yellow), with a fine splattering of very diluted Life-Color "Orange Rust".

It's just me - I liked this little wagon in its ex-works condition more.

Thanks Marty,

This was an experiment using the airbrush. Figured it would be good enough for a base finish, as there will be a faded black paint coat over it, which will be heavily chipped away using the HS method.


You can see the finish better here, on this piece that I shot, at the same time, for another little project. The "x" is about 1.125" wide overall....this will also get worn color over it.

Ian,

No worries....it willl be coming back a bit from the rust. I want it to be a well worn and aging car with some paint still on it.

Lovely texture and coloring!
Looking forward to hearing how it was done.

I really like the rust texture on this X, Marc. On the rod too, in fact. It will be interesting with some chips of paint.

Great coloring and texture.
