Title: Moonshine still
Post by: zizi666 on June 13, 2012, 08:46:46 PM: Last Thusday I received my order of O-scale resin pieces from http://www.rustyrail.com/ (http://www.rustyrail.com/)
One of those just begged to be painted ASAP :

The static grass has just been glued, so the white in between the patches of dry grass should dissapear in a while.
All in all a very fine model. some bubbles (the jar atop the barrel has one on the back) and unfortunatly a broken barrel on the shotgun, although I didn't notice it until I went back to the site to look at some painted examples. Nothin wrong with a sawn-off shotgun hey ;)
Usable for lots settings, but since one wouldn't want to wake up in a ravaged world without a stiff drink at hand, I posted it here :D

I like the green oxidized copper look.
Thought about it myself.
Is it standard paint or a glaze ?

Thanks. I bought a bottle of 'patina' colored craft paint. I thinned it down and applied it in a few places, but then also hit some spots with it at full strength.

You dod a great job on this. From the jugs to the rocks, the whole thing looks really good. I like the dead grass around the fire, that was a great idea!

I've been eyeballing the rustyrail site for awhile now.

Post by: zizi666 on June 15, 2012, 03:51:45 AM: Thanks,

I can only advise you to give in to the urge, these pieces are worth it.
Also, I was very pleasantly surprised by the low P&P : only $12 to Europe :o
Not much vendors offer such low prices.
the other pieces can be seen in this thread :

Only problem could be the fine casting. some pieces are so fragile they almost break by pointing at them. Then again, they are actualy intended for 'static' use.

Those models really look nice.

It's a shame to hear they are so fragile though. :(
Either way, lovely work on your end zizi666!
