Good afternoon All, as a break from other rmodels I have completed another Phoenix kit for my (much) better half's 1/12 dolls' house. This is their white metal Victorian Pram kit, all white metal with the exception of the brass rod axles, provided in the kit. Assembled using a mix of two-part epoxy and super-glue gel and painted almost entirely with enamels. The body and wheels are a mix of Revell 54 gloss Night Blue and Humbrol 21 gloss Black in the ratio of approximately 2-1, with the tyres in Humbrol 64 matt Light Grey. The interior cream is Humbrol 103 matt Cream and the outer cover of the hood is Humbrol 104 matt Oxford Blue with a little shading for shadow and highlight, but only a little. The handle is the usual painted wood trick of a pale buff base, burnt umber oil streaks and then a thin coat of Tamiya clear yellow over the top once the oil is dry. Voila, a wood handle. The gold pinstripe is hand painted (hence its 'squigglyness') with Mr Metal Color Brass. The chrome is all done with Moltow chrome pens - a big thank you to cmatthewbacon for his tip about these a couple of years ago. Here it is:
