[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by emmaandy</i> <br /><br />I am working on my dustbunny model of a UP GP-50 and unit trailer train. <br /> <br />I know what you are going to ask so I will beat you to it. No I am not going to pay UP a dime. <br /> <br />I started by unravelling a yellow sweater over a sheet of paper. I then carefully tipped the paper up and made a "dust ball". This step is tricky because the rest of the model is built off this base. The color of the model is due to the dust used. <br /> <br />I found that the best place to get sweaters for this is a thrift shop. It takes several sweaters in various colors and some time to build up a nice dust train. It is also tricky to find a good work area. A good wind will distroy minutes of work so it is best to work in a corner or other protected area like under the bed. When you are done some hairspray will set you dust bunny model and it can be carefully transfered to your dust bunny landscape or layout as we call them in the US. <br /> <br />You can see a gallery of my work at www.dustbunny/models/landscape/gallery/emmmaandy.com <br /> <br />What do you think? Surprising likeness right? I was trying to go for a weathered workhorse look. Would love to hear you comments. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />What brand of couplers did you use? They look a little over scaled. Sorry but just trying to get my dryer going so I too can start collecting them.
