GRENDELS ,

Nice lookin Ride Brotha' ! The Engine is lookin Sah-Weet ! I dig this lil Gem !! From Sow's Ear to Silk Purse !!

I'm lookin' forward to th Trailer !!

 

[Grendels]

Thanks! I am going to fix that scratched pipe tomorrow and start painting up the trailer. The cab has her color coat, so I need to do a bit of detail painting and then the custom decals come out.

 

[TRM]

Nice looking Donkey there G!! The secret is letting the cat do the painting ey?!! LOL!!! Keep it going!!!

 

[spud]

[Grendels]

Thanks! I do like how the exhaust came out. Going off to give the trailer a black coat in a few minutes.

Hopefully I can keep the cat hairs away.....

8) 8) 8) Engine looks awesome. Pipes turned out great!!! What paint did you use to piant the pipes? I like the chrome color you used to paint these.

 

[Myke]

Great stuff Grendels dude! I'm confused by the lack of monsters in this build though.

 

[fumblethumbs]

Flying along and looking great G! Really nice looking mill!

 

[Fruit]

I agree, very well executed paint job on that there engine.

(Though I can't help but notice, the third picture - the orange thingy - seems to look like an ear plug ;D)

 

[Grendels]

Thanks all!

8) 8) 8) Engine looks awesome. Pipes turned out great!!! What paint did you use to piant the pipes? I like the chrome color you used to paint these.

I used Alclad chrome, took video of the whole process, and I should get an update on it soon. Probably later tonight.

Great stuff Grendels dude! I'm confused by the lack of monsters in this build though.

Sorry, but they might make an appearance in the other build. It is the same scale as the Godzilla dio of last year

Here is the next Vlog on this build:

Super Semi Zinger part 2: Getting ready for the Alclad...

 

[MrNatural]

nice work on that trailer!

 

[JohnSimmons]

Nice update G, I know how you feel about cat hair lol but you sorted it. And I think that tyre tread could work

 

[fumblethumbs]

Superb work G! Real nice. Look forward to see how this ends up.

if you decide to GO Crazy on the SANDING... and Sand the Trailer SMOOTH !!!

you can replace the RAISED rivets with 3D raised rivet decals.... cut a strip ! and lay in place...

VOILA !

You get them from Trains specialist or Archer transfers... Archer is more expansive than the Train guys... and the Train guys gives you large sheets...

I have some of the Archer stuff and its... Wicked ! Never had Raised Decals before but they sure can HELP you if you are in a BIND !

OF course ! chroming decals.. might be a problem ?? as you might see the Carrier film ??? not sure about that !

Good luck my man !!! that is quite the project you are working on....

Should look pretty UNIQUE once you are done with it !!


later dude !

That trailer is a perfect candidate for Bare Metal Foil
