CTA Entry-- Jeeves-- Tamiya VW Staff Car

[nerdling]

It's a zombie killing machine. It doesn't need a dash lol. Just have some random wires hanging down. I love the rusty paint job and the drive really looks the part.

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks!

Yeah I might just do that if I can't get the dash in...we'll see!

 

[Duke Maddog]

That rocks! Awesome job!

Thanks Mark and Erik!

Well-- tried setting the base up tonight...need to gouge some tracks into the plaster and sand it down some...

 

[moon puppy]

That's cool Mike! Like that, don't forget to get some snow on the side of the pole.

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks Bob!

It's actually going to be dirt and grass... I haven't done anything to the base other than add the Sculptamold...

A few dead bodies would be cool too!!!

Or the addition of a bad S Mothaf.... holding a chainsaw.[just my broad imagination]

Like what you doing here,Mike!

Greetings,Ron.

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks guys...hmmm....might see what I can come up with

 

[jknaus]

That came out pretty neat. Well done

[Ruben Lopez]

That idea of yours was a great one Jeeves. And the execution is terrific!
Are you going to put some zombies in the base too?

 

[chukw]

Nice- a VW Deathmobile! Very cool, Jeeves- cheers!

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks everyone...I might add a zombie-- not sure what I have on hand in 1/48 to create one...most of what I have is WWII soldiers...I'll have to ponder on this for a bit...

 

[Jeeves]

As I wait for paints on the other two builds, here is more work done on the base of the VW...

Wondering if I still need to work on getting the VW more set in to the base...and still have the signage to work on...nothing in my figure stash even resembles a zombie-- so I am not sure on that end...

Mike one thing I would do is get the mud slung a little more around. like you got a massive splatter on the trunk lid but none on the bumper or fenders. Also try some other colors of mud to show some wet and some dry, like you got on the road.

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks Bob...

Yeah...that fender is actually supposed to be rust...but I can see where it can easily be confused with mud...I'll fling some mud after the Future cures a bit...thanks!

hmm... I haven't played much with rusting somthing up. I see it on the roof but I think what threw me was there seems to be some bulk build up, or at least it looks like it. Maybe some more oxide tones?

 

[Jeeves]

Yeah-- I see your point...added some Mig pigments with their resin medium...and a little wet effects....

 

[reconron]

Looking good,Mike.

Greetings,Ron.
