    i can't wait. what adhesive with this stuff? [you probably know what this is about....]

    You've still got to use epoxy Kevin, I did an experiment with styrene cement and super-glue... didn't work.

    Kevin, maybe a little rust on the back lages away from the oil spout? Is mig a brand of paint that has grime, oil and fuel stain? You also said you sponged on the paint. Did you an actual sponge? No matter what you used for colors or how you applied them you have two great looking details. Randy

    randy,
    mig has a pretty big product line of different effects.
    i used a make up wedge to apply the paint (and my rouge lol)

    i've resigned myself to the epoxy. i'll get better at it....

    btw - if anyone missed the tutorial on using the makeup wedges Kevin mentioned - that I posted Jan 2022 - here is the forum link. Glad you found the tutorial useful!

    Working on a large new batch of 3D Printed parts including these amazing Oil High Boys. Two types, the traditional "closed" drain and the in use version with the open drain hatch and oil bottle in place. So very amazing!
  • EmeryJEmeryJ
    Now those are really cool guys. Excellent detail!!
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Those High Boys are incredible! The ability to model them being filled is brilliant.
  • Joel
    Just fantastic. It's all in the details and boy do you produce the best details.
  • TomMich
    The detail on the high boys is amazing. Can't wait to see what new 3D parts come available.
  • WesWes
    WOW Brett. The level of detailing you are getting with the 3d Printer is insane.

  • Karl.AKarl.A
    Amazing parts and prints, there are going to be some great scenes modelled with the ability to put an empty bottle up there. Story telling at it's finest, from SierraWest.

    Brett,

    Love those high boys. Another terrific casting to add to the ever increasing parts.

    Love the High Boys. What a great idea to have the ability to put a bottle for filling. Great detail.
  • randyprandyp
    Great new parts Brett. I love the finish you achieved. That would be a nice tutorial. Hint Randy

    That just seams to easy for such wonderful results. Randy

    Thanks gentlemen, glad you are liking the new oil high boy details.

    It really is a simple technique, the key is layering colors for depth. I am working on some new videos specifically geared for the 3D Printed parts.

    Great job Kevin.

    Looking forward to the high boys

    where do you find the time??
  • kebmokebmo
    i think this is pretty finished. i intend to put this inside the ltrs near the bates. i might add a second high boy as well. not decided on that yet.
    finished oil barrel-stand1

    finished oil barrel-stand 2

    finished oil barrel-stand 4

    i'm having a little fun with details now. i primed the hand cart with khaki brown, and i'll let that sit til tomorrow sometime.
    i love these 3d details.
    speaking of which, i thought of something that would be a cool casting that could actually be applied to every one of brett's kits; a propane gas tank for heat to sit on the outside of the structure. food for thought.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Looking good Kev. The stand toned down looks great. Rag is a nice touch will make a great addition to your scene.
  • Jim M
    Looks great Kevin. Nice job.

    Barrel looks great Kevin and the stand really came out well. as Ken says the rag is a nice oily touch.
    Sounds like you've got the detail bug, but, Brett's are hard to resist.
  • ALCOALCO
    What will you do if Brett makes 3DP rags?
  • Karl.AKarl.A
    order some.... ha
  • kebmokebmo
    indeed
  • TomMich
    Nice Kevin! That oily rag really adds a finishing touch.
  • kebmokebmo
    i couldn't help myself, i had to tackle the handcart too. unfortunately, as i was removing the pieces from the double sided tape when i primed it, the bottom plate broke. you can see the crack. i'll hide it with a crate or something when i place on a diorama. i love this detail. if i didn't know better, i'd swear the wheels would turn.
    question for the class:
    i primed it a dark brown, then painted the lower steel section with tarnished steel, and then i sponged on a color called wooden deck from a ship building air brush paint set. i think i may have covered too much of the wood color with the powder and washes. whaddya think?

  • KKarnsKKarns
    Nice Kevin!
  • Karl.AKarl.A
    Nope, looks perfect to me.

    I've started using just regular scotch double sided (for posters/photos, etc) tape for the fragile 3D parts as they are so fragile. It is just strong enough to hold them on a stick.
