made a start with styrene on the mailbox ..

well after i got new tyres fitted on my car i went home and started work on the dio

to add more depth i made some grass in front



started a sign woth frame to put on the grass . also makes it more like a separate lot ..



base layer of grey on the concrete edge



added some supports



and to spice up the sign made a rounded top with a texaco logo

made the frame red with a bit of brown wash .. also did the big pole and tyresign frame red to get more red / color in the dio











when posting this update i hated the round top on the pics so i removed that ...

changed the sign to coca cola > gas today 22ct drink a coke while you waight ... not done yet ...

a few quick shots i took outside this morning

the sign .. hmmm i hated it myself and made a version 3 with a newly designed sign i altered it in photoshop and made sure its readable ...
added a poster board below with a drag race and a soap box derby add poster .. much better imo

Yeah, much better! I'll drink some Coke for that.

thnx and whell with those prices you def. can afford a coke

This is just getting better and better I hope to find some time durng the holidays to assemble a few model cars, but I fear they will look awful compared to your stuff

hey just build . its like chopping you need to chop and get better and with modeling you need to build and get better ..
i would like to see you build

found some christmass light lanterns , where half broke ....

so i took a old sprue and made pillars used the bases and altered the bottom of the lantern a bit , just a quick thing not to much effort of thinking about it

one is painted in base brown and the other just after assembly



i desided to only use one , next to the mailbox , sunken in the grass , painted the glas yellow and gave it a first round wih pigment powder and rust wash







overall vieuw , all the pics are not that great with the evening lighting
