Ok update time. The figs are puttied and setting so I decided to work the cart and load. Here is a pictoral:

Nice chipped paint effect John. A few pictures explain a lot.

I love your projects - they all typically have so many layers to them.
It gives them a richness and depth not always captured.

Well done.

Excellent work as always Stick Man, Penn. is a loser and it's back to Lamoile county, retirement countdown is sooooooo close and I am working on a few prospects.
I may be able to get work at a resort called TopNotch ? Stowe ? Smugglers ? whatever, housing looks good.
P.m. you tommorow.

Thanks for the comments guys. I am just trying to share what I am doing and how I do it.

John that looks absolutely awesome...cant wait to see how the figures turn out painted up. May i ask you what paint you use for the metal?

Hi Sticky

Otherwise your project is super!!!

grtz den Bill

Thanks guys!




The metal is a paintable silver leaf I found in the art supply store. Its made by the same company that makes rub and buff.

More progress to report:

I'm looking forward to seeing this at AMPSEAST.

Ditto!

Oh boy, I dunno if it will be ready in time for AMPS East! I will not rush it.

BTW here is a link to a SBS to make the tarp on the Cart if anyone is interested: Click on me

I love it, what did you use for the bush and the flowers?

The flowers, trees are from the craft store, the grass is Silflor. The vine is real fine roots with Plus Models leaves glued on one at a time.

cool, what product?

I beleive the trees are dried baby's breath, the flowers I don't have a clue, they just looked the part so I bought them. They came in white and I died them with food coloring.

hmmm. I'll have to find some, thanks Sticky
