Unwanted, unloved
« on: October 07, 2011, 12:34:12 PM »
Grabbed a old HO shed from my cabinet that must have been there for over 2 years now and decided to finish it lastnight. Built something to go with it as well.






Added something unloved:


And for that I took a Hobbyden Mercedes, based it, covered most of it with a tarp (woodglue and tissue paper) and painted it.






Expect more of this as I have a scrapyard to fill.

Poison Ivy from Mininatur. Comes in HO scale and 1:45 size. You get a lot of value for money from a box of these containing 2 thick sheets for about 20 euros then one from Army Painters which isn't even 1/10th of that sheet for 4-5 Pounds.

Looking good.
Looks like stuff you might find out back of your Grandpa's house.

Your guess is as good as mine  ???

Could be Faller, Pola, any of the HO producers. It's been on the shelf, built and basecoated for the last 2 years and came from a job lot of busted and built models....

So sorry, can't help you there...... :?
