Barrel Rack
1/35 Scale |
|
|
| I found this
barrel rack in a 1920's iron works catalog of mine, and felt I just
had to build it. These could be ordered as modular units, that came
as K/D sectional parts that could be assembled into any length of
rack. The box frames came pre-assembled (riveted) with the 'L'
flanges for attaching the rail welded on. The rails could then be
added in whatever length desired. Cross bracing was meant to be
installed on every other unit, if multiple units/modules were
assembled. |
 |
| A a quick
styrene jig was made to assemble the box frames. Note that the edges
on the jig pieces are clipped, to keep them well clear of the areas
to be glued. |
 |
|
The rack was built using Evergreen styrene.
The frame channels are .080" channel. the gusset plates are .010"
sheet stock. The rivets are .025" round head rivets from Tichy,
the hex bolts are Grandt Line (#127). |

sprayed with "Mr. Surfacer" 1200 primer |

Junk Toolbox
1/35 Scale |
|
| |
| The box was
fabricated using .010 styrene; hammer is an oversized 1/48 scale
detail part, screwdriver is from a Tamiya kit, wrenches are form
VectorCut. All painting was done with Vallejo acrylics; weathered with MIG and Bragdons
pigments, and artists oil paints. |

Old Sign
Letters
1/35 Scale |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
The letters were printed to the desired size
on paper, which was then spray mounted to various thicknesses of
styrene. They were then cut out of the styrene using an Xacto. and
the paper peeled off. Below are a couple of the resulting styrene
letters; the 'M' is cut from .020" styrene, and the 'R' and 'E'
were cut from .010". |
 |
|
Here is the 'M' from the above image, as
well as another one in their initial assembly step. The two sides
have been spaced using styrene .125" 'H" column pieces. The brass
circles are leftover pieces from a PE set. |
 |
|
One of the completed 'M's and the two
smaller letters, after receiving a coat of primer. The 'M' is
meant to represent the large neon type letters as shown initially,
the two smaller letters are meant to represent stand-off post
mount steel letter that were commonplace from the 20's through the
50's. (the posts were typically inserted part way into the wall
behind them...typically masonry). The outside edge of the 'M' was
made using .005" sheet styrene. |

Crossing Sign
1/35 Scale |
|
|
|
 |
| After applying
a coat of matte sealer and a couple of coats of hairspray, the sign
and post were painted an aged white, using a mix of Tamiya "White"
and "_". I then did a drawing of the sign in CAD to create a
masking guide. On the right one can see the drawing, and on the left
is the sign on the guide, masked-off, ready for paint. |
 |
| Here you can
see the sign after application of the faded red color. Also shown is
the post, which has been chipped. |
