Weathering Project
Posted by highrailjon on Friday, January 28, 2005 10:54 AM
My new shiney log loader just did'nt look quite right on my layout. So with a six pack of beer and a few earth colors, I touched it up. I think it looks a bit more in place ,now. Plus it gave me something to do while knocking out a few brews! Sometimes small overlooked details can bring out a scene. Jon

Jon,

You can only do so much with each 6-pak. You end up working five minutes and then contemplating the scene for the next 2 hours as your spirits are boosted.

Tom,

How about a weathered-looking Miss Daisey?

I think if his spirits get "boosted" he's gonna have to run out to the store to restock. [:D]

Frank,

After a 6-pak, a weathered Miss Daisy will look just fine to Jon.
