Rub’n Buff is the best for making parts look authentically metal! Simple to use and it creates a super nice metal look in no time at all! I apply it with an old brush or sometimes a cotton swab and then wipe it off with an old t-shirt!

"There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. ' Fool me—you can't get fooled again."

After my mixup with the metallic and non metallic black paint I’m making sure to double check these bottles every time from here on out!

Creating the baseform and composition on the 1/35 scale World War II diorama scene of the liberation of Canal de Robine in Narbonne France. Just placing pieces to see what will go where before painting the hydrocal plaster castings of the Canal embankments that are currently just placed there for the visual.. They need adhered in place with no visible joint lines.. a cobblestone street and brick or concrete sidewalks will be handmade as well as resin poured water in the canal, and all hand painted details like streetlights, railings, cafe tables, vendor carts, people, boats, trees and light vegetation, and other goodies will be added as I go. This has been a project thought of and prepped for over 2 years ago and finally I'm pulling the trigger to get it done.

The Darker Side of Nonsense is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Dry Kill Logic. It was released on June 5, 2001, by Roadrunner Records and was the band's only release on that label. The album spent two weeks on the Billboard Independent Albums chart, peaking at number 27.

This garage project is not quite finished. Have more details to add. But it's from the Fos Scale Models- Unique Structure Kits limited edition Rust Rock Falls I built a few years back and had yet to build this portion.... I usually dont add much lighting, but thought a little LED goose neck would look badass. I'll post more when finished.
