Secundo Ingeniarius lives again

[zak]

Can you decide if its the top or the bottom half that has been removed 

Yes, but its a secret.

Second engineer now in place - when dry and solid will remove some more blue paint before the RUST starts.
Decided to put him in place so I can get the rust  streaks running all down in the correct direction unlike the fridge I did on the zombie model. Now of to watch a film with "she who must be obeyed"

[MSea]

Some dark and light rust added. Now to start making 6,000 plants to go in and cover up lots of the machine.

The weathering looks the part.

Thanks Zak but I think it needs more but going slowly slowly bit at a time - easier to add more, than take it away when I have gone a bit mad at it.
Am also looking at how to turn wooden skewers into bamboo scaffolding.

[MSea]

First 28 leaves made, now on to the bamboo

[MSea]

Bamboo made - from top to bottom -- plain skewer, skewer marked with pencil, skewer ground down to bamboo shape, painted yellow/brown, and finally with white bands between the sections.

Recycling at its best,

[MSea]

Thanks Zak - its the only way to go

Grand work Martin. I am impressed with the rusting and weathering. It really looks the part.

[MSea]

First leaves added to the model. 
Second photo shows the start made on the 2 climbing vines - glue has been added to the twisted wire, when dry will prime and paint and add the leaves.

[MSea]

Spring has sprung and the first vine has now got some leaves - next job a bit of filler on the main part of the trunk so it does not look like twisted wire.

Weed - y - good.

[MSea]

I am trying to be good all the time - I have turned over a new leaf - hohohohoho
