I have to admit, though, I do love that nostalgic whiff of resin too
Flat Truck Tire. Painted Grimy Black and weathered with pigments. I put a small amount of Epoxy in the bottom inside of the hollow, yes hollow like the real thing!, tire to simulate water collecting inside. This tire must be planted standing upright for full effect.
Screw Jack from the "Screw Jack Mix" collection. One of three screw positions. This one is in the middle. Primed with brown spray paint. Painted with old Polly Scale CP Yellow, screw painted with metallic, and light rust pigments.
Exceptionally detailed gas can from the "Tin Gas Can Mix" collection. Body painted with Model Color (vallejo) gunmetal Grey 70.863, top with Model Color Bronze 70.9989, and weathered with pigments. Final detailing in place with some fuel stains. Brett also has these cans with open top...just wonderful!
Wood barrel from the "Wooden Barrels" collection. Primed with flat black. Painted with roof brown and dry brushed with lighter tones. Ribs highlighted with graphite.
Various wood creates from the "Wooden Crate Mix" collection. Photo has the wood a bit washed out but really shows the detail of these amazing pieces. Treated similar to the wood barrel.
Primed with grey spray paint. Weathered with black chalk and some graphite for metal luster...I love these! Will of course fill with trash and have the lid propped up similar to the picture for my scene I'm working on.

I have more coming next week and think will be all of Brett's HO 3D parts for now.
I'm sure Brett has other flavors up his sleeve soon.
Thanks again Ken for the suggestion and all here for your great work and help to others as always.

Now we need a painting video...lol..jk
Thanks for sharing!
care to share how you achieved that wonderful, aged patina on the printed gas can ??
asking for a friend ...
Be well,
--Paul
Bryan...the base color?...see my response at the end.
I purposely choose a color of "off red" as it looked weathered to begin with!
Thanks Robert
Appreciate that Tom.
Amazing details Brett! "having a ball detailing them all" Thanks so much.
Thanks Paul and here is the skinny:
1. Primed the gas can with brown spray primer.
2. Light coat of brushed on Reaper "Ruddy Brown 29830".
3. Handle wire support brushed on Model Color Gunmetal Gray 70.863
4. When dry...burnished with an old nasty small detail brush (see pic below) and a bit of graphite. The brush allows you to take off (or more like wear down) as much paint as you want, where you want, and at the same time gives the bare spot a weathered metallic appearance.
Primed with black spray paint
Dry brushed various wood tones
Brushed on paint for the bands
here is a 3D Coffee Mug/Pitcher/Pot that Brett had me mess with...I refuse to detail anything smaller! lol...Done in the vintage blue & white speckled Enamelware.
Out of focus but shows the handle. Could have tried to get a better picture of this angle but...nah...you get the idea.
