Scratch building scale accessories, + weathering 6 years 10 months ago #43433

Built another "wooden" box - this time a privy, a 1:10 version of the design in "Household Discoveries" (Sidney Morse, 1909 revised edition 1913) & has many "state of the art" (for the time) features - tight fitting doors, planking & mesh covered vents, sprung front door & gravity close seat lid.

It's not quite done - I needed two more hinges, plus the outer catch is superflous, there should be some sort of catch on the inside, plus a box/small shovel for lime (or earth), plus at least one more poo bucket (to allow for fermentation time :blink: ).

1:12 scale might have been a better option, it looks a bit too big compared to the TARDIS (now back from the shed after being primed)...

Also started on a "plywood" canoe to hang in the rafters of the scale garage, from a basic plan found on the web. Swing bin is unrelated (& very washed out in the photo :whistle:).

Finished this yesterday ... my cunning plan to use flat base on the windows to give an opaque finish looked good - until I found it hadn't stuck at all & had to use white after all :whistle:





Possibly overdid the weathering...

Brushed some flat clear on the TARDIS to seal the surface, it's made it a lot darker & cleaner looking - which is probably a good thing.

Canoe has has a wood effect done on it (dry brush various colours, wash of the base colour, then a mix of clear yellow and clear, dunny similar but with a grey wash on the outside & brown on the inside (to simulate UV aging of untreated wood) + flat clear... currently working on the bucket contents, the biggest challenge of course being 1:10 scale corn ;)
