Tzulscha Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Just for fun and since I haven't really got anything much done on the AMTronic... Did you ever have one of those just not my day days? Pity the poor snow man... This is one of those just for fun dioramas. It started as a rust job on the car... I don't know what you use to keep roads clear over in the U.K. but here in Michigan we use copious quantities of salt. This is not good for cars... Not good for snowmen either, but that is beside the point. He has worse problems to-day. Seems to be a bit slippery. I don't think the two tons of Impala is going to stop. Seems to be trying though if the skidmarks are any indication. This beast has seem better days, no doubt! Not a point of view I'd care to have just now... Looks like Frosty is a bit, well let's just say, apprehensive... 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzulscha Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 The snow is Woodland Scenics Soft Flake Snow bound with PVA glue and Hair spray. The car is the old AMT 58 Impala. Frosty has styrofoam balls... Bricks by Frosty. Thanks for the likes guys, this was a fun one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzn20 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Great model. The 58 Chevy Impala is one of my favourites,remember American Graffiti ? The interface between the Tri Chevy years 55-57 and the huge finned Impala a year later in 59. BTW does that snow effect brush off or are you stuck with it? No pun intended. Love the rusted through panels and wheel arches. Great job and thanks for showing Edited May 30, 2016 by bzn20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 So is there a little kid and a stuffed tiger just out of frame somewhere? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzulscha Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thanks for the nice comments guys. This was a fun one. The snow would probably come off the car if I scrubbed a bit. The base would need a chisel.. No Jessica there is no sandy claws.. Sorry, couldn't help myself. Snow goons are much easier to make in real life than it is to find scale Calvin and Hobbes figures and I'm afraid my sculpting skills are not up to the task... Out of frame however.... yes, yes there is... Q 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs PlaStix Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 This is great, so funny and so well done... are you going to enter the vignette group build? (Mr PlasStix would be really happy if you did!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Great fun and a vignette group build? I had no idea! Has set me up for a mad/ impossible build though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzulscha Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) This is great, so funny and so well done... are you going to enter the vignette group build? (Mr PlasStix would be really happy if you did!) I would love to. However I should be sensible ( for a change) and clear away all the stuff I am supposed to be getting paid for before I take on anything fun. I have a really hard time saying 'No' when someone comes up and asks if I can "just do a quick build" for them. Currently on the bench I have a P2V Neptune, a '68 Camaro, a '55 Studebaker Commander and a 1/9th scale B-17 radio stack and some marker lights that were all due last X-mas... In actual point of fact I should be working on them right now instead of being distracted by these forums... I'm slow but at least I'm inefficient! Thanks for all the compliments guys!
