Hi!
I am working on a small project since last Monday.
It's the model of industrial tower building which can be displayed in a middle of a living room.
This is the base of the model tower.
It is a manhole cover which had been used in our back yards.
It is nicely rusted and jaded.
The overall paint job should be taste like this.
The tower will be bolt on it.
I put four wheels which I pulled off from a retired TV stand.
The main structure is made of 1 cm thick acrylic plates I bought from the shop at an odds and ends sale.
I planted a hundred of soft orange LEDs.
OK,
Then I flipped some kit parts baskets on the desk top to see what I have.
Since I built the last kit bashing model for over 10 years ago, those parts were almost forgotten.
Looks like here are some tank parts, German 88 flak parts, some battle ship, cart, and a starship model of an old movie.
That was the one made me feel sick and tired of building it and threw it away more than ten years ago.
Kitbashing is very fun but the way I haven't chose for a decade.
I am hoping that I still remember that certain rules and senses.
Well, let's try some.
How do you think?
While I'm foraging over the parts on the desk, I found a couple of parts that I think it will be useful if I have it many.
So I tried to duplicate some more.
I used a handful of Sculpey to make a molds.
Apply a little bit of water on the parts and put some Sculpey on the parts and press it and spread.
And I baked it.
A bit over baked but it may be OK.
Put another Sculpey on the baked mold and press it and spread it.
Peel off from the mold and chop off the overhanging cray and trim it.
Maybe enough for the time being.
This is it for now.
Thank you very much for looking.
