Title: Weathering reference
Post by: SDwn on February 27, 2010, 04:08:51 PM
I found this link while surfing the web (I mean being hard at work) and thought it was a great collection of reference pictures for weathering and ideas.  Cheers      Sean

The photos of the VW double cab pickup with the moss covered back was the inspiration for a 1/24th scale diorama by Per Olav Lund quite recently . It was rather nice .
  The last gallery of the abandoned boats is particularly interesting .

  Thanks for reminding us about these photos ,

Great site, thanks for the link.

I checked out quite a few of them, but the abandoned amusment park was a kind of creepy.
There is just something Stephen King'ish about an abandoned amusment park.

  Now , I wasn't going to mention that ! Actually it is or more interest for me to start the one I was planning a few years ago . Yes , I had the idea way before Marc started his but he bothered to make a meaniful start , I didn't .

  Anyway , I think he has more important things on his mind , like how he is going to get all that sand and gravel out of his backside which he collected when he came off his bike .

Cool link. This photo from that site is intriguing. I wonder what the little "outhouse" was for?
