I LOVE watching your creations develop. Thanks! I've drawn a lot of inspiration for this project from a bunch of trash bashing youtube videos, mixing it in with a hefty dose of "It's just trash, the worst that can happen is what? I make it trashier trash?" I do still sometimes have to remind myself that it's okay to trash something if it isn't working, I don't have to keep going with something just cause I've put effort into it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowley Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I started last night by cutting out the foam for the other cargo pods, and gluing them together. Then I cut out the parts for the trucks flatbed, and glued them together. And waited for the glue to dry... I really should have used hot glue for this, but was using wood glue... In the end I had to add some support because the glue wasn't holding it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowley Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) I was tossing some junk mail into my recycling when I noticed the mesh from a clementine box... and inspiration struck! This could work for the flatbed! But will it take glue & paint? Lets try a bit of black craft paint and see how it goes on this one spot... Oh, that was more paint than I meant to use Okay, we'll just let that dry... Okay, not bad. Little fragile, as the paint scratches off, but maybe after glue and a clear coat to protect it? This could work! Edited February 24, 2021 by Crowley 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowley Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 The wood glue pulled a little more paint off, but once dry, it's solid, and the paint resists scratching! Now to repaint it to fix the chopped paint and kill the glossy... Plus all the other detailing work to do. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got some great stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
