Title: Wooden Cart Tutorial
Post by: Sangennaru on 16 April 2011, 01:41:13 PM
Hi everyone!

I've done a simple tutorial about making styrene wood pieces, instead of using balsa... it is quite a new technique for me too, but i'm rather happy of the final result!

Read the tutorial here! It is quite long, but i hope it worths! (http://www.thelazyforger.com/tutorials/sculpting-a-styrene-wooden-cart/)

Wow  sums it up :o

better pictures now!!!

BTW, the cart is available for purchase. I understand that it is quite lonely there and a shipping for that is quite ridiculous, but ... here it is!

Would the blades from this Grain Enhancer work well on styrene - and save time?

well, in my honest opinion that tools sucks.

i'll explain why: for almost everything a metal - brass brush is better!
-for the BALSA that tool is not good, since the balsawood has already his veins, they have only to be enhanged. Carving other veins make everything like broken.
-for the non-balsa wood is useless, because the other woods are good to be painted with diluited acrylics directly, for exalting the lines without a real texture!
-for the plasticard and simliar is too regular, you need something more "human", and a sharpen point could do the work. After that, some sanding and brush and sanding again!


actually, the first time i saw that i thought "cool!"... but thinking about it it is quite useless... :-\
of course in my opinion! =)

well, of course i'm talking related to my experiences and techniques, probably for other people it is an essential tool for the model making!
