Thanks Marc,

Unfortunately the "how to" might have to wait, as I had a phone call from a "guy".

Vinnie's gonna break your knee caps for telling us "how to" on the concrete?  WHO's in the concrete?  No, wait, never mind ... don't tell me ... la, la, la ... I can't hear anything!    -- Dallas

Thanks guys. I wish I could share more. As this was all just screwing around, I didn' take any SBS photos to explain the steps/techniques. So I need to go and do another quick piece and take photos to do an SBS........hopefully the publisher won't drag his feet too much...and I'm sure when/if it comes out in print, there will be a digital version as well.  . 

Anders, there were truly no reference photos used for this, except for the corrugted metal layout.  No thought, planning or concious effort, went into this....I just took a scrap piece from the pile on my bench and started at one end, and then did whatever came to mind at the moment.

Are you going to color it, or leave it in primer gray?

Ray, don't know yet. I have a feeling the guy will ant it painted, if not I will likely toss it, or use it to do some future painting/weathering tests or experiments.

Now working on figuring out what I could do with this piece of weird ribbed plastic.

For this evening's "It Came From The Scrap-Box" build, a rollup maetal door, perfect for your Mid-East/Small-Wars store/shop front. (scale 1/35; surround only loosly placed).

Don't toss it. If you don't want it, I'll stop by and pick it up. The darned thing is much better than you think. -- Russ

That's very kind of you Russ  , but I have only given 3 of my builds/experiments to people, and I have regretted it every time...not because I am/was fond of them, but rather because I feel really uncomfortable having a record of my work and mediocrity floating around out there....don't want that stuff coming back to haunt me.

Was wondering how you were going to do the roller shutter ...... now I understand .................. probably within the next 24 hours will be pinching that idea/solution

What  Bollocks

Perhaps, then, Marc would favor us with photos of the model's destruction. I suggested torching the atrocity but we could grind it to a powder and recycle it. Or maybe someone could eat it, although such things taste better with paint and weathering. -- Russ

May be he can drive his secret truck project over the old man and through the door?
Being a larger scale the truck should do some damage.

that curbing really reminds me of something.could it be formed by heating over steam then the base of a spoon pressed in.it is too random to be cut or sanded.
i love it i want it

Hi all, I admire and am constantly amazed, the meticulousness with which puts her in your diorama scene.
