DD_Arthur Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Will there be some sort of opening ceremony when it goes on display? A ribbon cutting......with a band, perhaps? Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 18, 2015 2. Administrators Posted February 18, 2015 oooo, good idea Arthur Quote

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 19, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 19, 2015 Finale, no really, where it concerns the cars... unless I do find a good model to do the Duel Truck 1965 Dodge Coronet 500, 1957 Mercury Turnpike, 1956 Ford F-100 Pickup I think you're developing a bit of a habit there FT! Habit? No, unfortunately, it starts to look like a form of cardiction ... Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 28, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 28, 2015 The final Internet purchase arrived today. And, well, it is a beauty! Now, do I really want to risk it, and change it into this thing? (I never expected it to be this nice, and detailed!) Should I really? Quote
Sweper Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 That last picture looks like it is from a movie I have seen? Edit: Found it http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067023/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Quote
DD_Arthur Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Swep, my mother-in-law drove the tanker in that film. She drives like that everywhere . Seriously! FT, I think that is a bit too nice to turn into a brown thing. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 28, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 28, 2015 (...) FT, I think that is a bit too nice to turn into a brown thing. I tend to agree with ya Arthur... The packaging even contains a spare set of side mirrors! Never realised it was a brand new one, I thought it was a used one, as it cost only $39,95! So, no Duel scene on the bridge then... too bad. Though it saves me the trouble trying to get my hands on a 1/64th scale red 1974 Plymouth Valiant Swep, my mother-in-law drove the tanker in that film. She drives like that everywhere . Seriously! (...) LOL! Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 28, 2015 2. Administrators Posted February 28, 2015 I'm not a big fan of trucks in general, but that is a very nice model. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted March 13, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 13, 2015 Finally, the bridge was transported to the shop. The painting to the right is of a pair of Mitchells flying over the very same bridge... (I've posted pictures of that painting some time ago) In the middle, a 1/72nd scale Flying boat, all metal model. Quote
DD_Arthur Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Nice! I mean really nice Edit; whats next then FT? Quote
PapaBear Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Looks great in there, absolutely splendid job FT! Quote
gec Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 exceptional FT! The work is top of the notch but getting so far to putting it to the public shop, .. speechless. Salute! Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted March 19, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks guys! Next? Well, I realized my set of American Sixties cars was missing a Wagon. So, I found one... but it was part of a set, so I had to get six cars... oh well... Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted March 19, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 19, 2015 You is now even more famous Arjen ! Nice to see you share your work with them publics. Ps: there will always be room for it in das hut m8 ; ) Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted March 27, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 27, 2015 Now, can I turn this one into the Duel truck ? Using Humbrol 113? Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted March 29, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 29, 2015 Getting there, slowly.... Added the third axel to the truck, and side skirts(?) to the tanker trailer. And the ladder! Much more painting and detailing to do.... and weathering Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted April 4, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted April 4, 2015 Decided to use another truck, same trailer, is better... 1 Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted April 6, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted April 6, 2015 Tried to add the final touches... All boxed up, ready to go! Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted April 19, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted April 19, 2015 Moving on to dressing the scenes up a bit.... And this is how it looks on the inside of the Green car and the Red car, full of N@sty B@st@rds... yeah, lots of effort on painting them, where no one will ever really see the results... Maybe for the best ... lol 1 Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted April 19, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Posted April 19, 2015 Really good rust effect on the trailer Arjen , what did you do exactly ? Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted April 19, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted April 19, 2015 Really good rust effect on the trailer Arjen , what did you do exactly ? Sanded the original red paint/lacker a bit, to roughen it up. Then a layer of Humbrol 133, and a second one. Next, use Alu paint (56), spread out on a bit of paper first, and dry brush it over the brown stuff, making sure the brush direction used was the same one rainwater would when dripping off of the thing. Next, same dry brushing with flat black. Dry brushing by me is always kinda 'wild' and 'random'... not thinking about it too much, just go paint! For the texts on the tanker trailer, I just applied some simplified shapes for the letters -it is way too small a scale to really paint each character- after first painting the lighter coloured boxes, not bright white, something close to it.
