Wallace and Gromit Anti Pesto Van


Recommended Posts

I ripped the green bit off of one of those washing up sponge things (you know the ones that can remove nuked on gravy) , covered it in masking sol and did this

And over the top of that with a light coat of Tamiya german grey

Now I'm not going to sugar coat this, but what is about to unfold is basically a series of pictures of the same part getting covered in masking fluid and then being over sprayed with ever increasing shades ending in black, it's not exciting, in fact It bored me to tears actually doing it, so I won't be offended if you just scroll down to the finished part, in fact I urge you to do it, reading it will only eat up,time that you will never get back and could use for something more productive, like mowing the bedroom carpet or something

More Sol and then Tamiya Nato black

And if anyone is still there and hasn't spat in the goldfish bowl and kicked the dog due to the complete drudgery of it all

Yes you guessed it more Sol and wait for it Tamiya semi, yes you heard me semi gloss black

I can hear you all now " is that it ? I sat bored out of my tiny, waiting to see something magical and you sprung this cack on me ! "

I don't blame you really I dont, I was none too impressed either, but it's not finished yet and might actually end up looking not completely fubar

This looks like a bit of an Emperor''s new clothes moment, but I assure you that a coat of Tamiya Buff or deck tan (I forget which one) has been lightly sprayed over

17190996250_8009d8a66b_b.jpg20150505_122350 by peter hutchings, on Flickr

And now I'm spraying Tamiya flat earth, light coats slowly building up,a dirty, dusty look (I know it's flat earth as I can see the paint pot just above my wrist

17190769948_eb2c4d91e5_b.jpg20150505_123531 by peter hutchings, on Flickr

The trick to this is softly softly catchy monkey, use thin light coats and I keep stopping and checking as I go as it's easy to over do it

17378238221_908be5acd0_b.jpg20150505_124423 by peter hutchings, on Flickr

I can't tell if this is finished or if I'm still spraying dem dusty shades ! But you get the idea of what's going on. Please let me know if you do know what's going on (cos I'm piggin lost)

17376606182_4e99c80eaa_b.jpg20150505_124430 by peter hutchings, on Flickr

I'm almost certain but not completely that this is finished now

17352608276_3f4a2f6034_b.jpg20150505_125412 by peter hutchings, on Flickr

Still a few bit to add yet though (hehehehehe I bet you are peeing yourselves with the excitement)

17378575125_aca9a7f4e4_b.jpg20150505_125421 by peter hutchings, on Flickr

I'm looking at this pic and wondering what the hell I was thinking lol ! It's artistic if nothing else, at least it's on the bottom where no one will see it

same story as the aboveon this bit, you'll no doubt be happy to hear I'm not going to subject you to a blow by blow account (Im still new around here and would like to make at least one friend lol )

17191324340_214485a8f1_b.jpg20150505_132240 by peter hutchings, on Flickr

And this one

I'm skipping the german grey and Nato black on these bits as I want the semi gloss black to be the main colour

A few shades of Alclad for the exhaust pipe

17354221456_a08138f484_b.jpg20150505_152326 by peter hutchings, on Flickr

And the back box

17192375538_638d23e7a4_b.jpg20150505_152252 by peter hutchings, on Flickr

A bit of pigment and some sepia wash

17378205132_821ea06f03_b.jpg20150505_153717 by peter hutchings, on Flickr

I'm not going to make it dusty as it seems a shame to cover the Alclad, we'll just pretend that wallace has been to Kwik-fit to get the van through the MOT

I love anything Pete does he is a master of the art.

You are too kind Ken,

By the way I saw you fixed the paintwork on your Citroen. Nice one mate it's a tough kit but kit at it you are doing a great job

Pete

I really like this. That Pete character sure has some skill!

Thanks mate, I'm just a lucky modeller, skill doesn't come into it lol

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've recently updated my iPad to iOS 9 point something or other and it has robbed me of the ability to copy and paste the BB code from Flickr ( it seems every update causes a new issue with functions) I think I've got it sorted and will have a stab at getting a pic up now

A while back I built the Shaun the Sheep Landrover and made some mats for the cab. I thought it would work in this one so I cut some from plastic card

Whats happened,i'm getting withdrawl symptoms from this thread...

Hehehe, I still can't believe anyone can follow this without losing the will to live lol

Apologies for the lack of updates but my iPad and Flickr are refusing point blank to play nicely and Xmas came along and got in the way.

I've given Flickr a damn good thrashing and am literally just transferring the remaining pics over to photobucket as I type, so I'll update a bit later ( providing of course I don't get squashed or mashed between now and then)

Pete

Looks a fun build! Must try and get one of these kits to go along with my Wallace and Gromit tractor kit I built earlier in the year. Great weathering techniques thanks for showing how it was done

Yes mate a ton of fun, I've built the tractor and Landrover too and just as much of a giggle as this one they are

Ok then after an exceptionally mahoosive time gap it's time to update and I hope this bleeding well works this time or I'll be flushing the iPad down the pooper and reverting back to a ZX Spectrum

Way back when I made the Shaun the shee Landrover I made some floor mats ( I'm getting deja vu typing that )

I thought that it would look good in the van so I cut some from styrene sheet

It only flipping worked ! ( Yay ) it must of been sacrificing the wife by boiling her in oil and kicking the dogs that appeased the gods of technology. ( I'm only kidding I'd never hurt my dogs )

A few lines scribed with the scribey thing and a coat of semigloss black and here it is

Airfix curse of the wererabbit wip

And I have mixed a colour for the body (what a mare that was lol), I didn't have any dark blue so had to use clear blue so the paint is very translucent

I tested it over a white primer and it was far too light, it doesn't look too bad over grey though

This bit is over a white primer, I will need to re-prime it and try again

You can see how far out (far out man) it is against the unpainted dash. The colour it's moulded in looks pretty close to the prop

And watch out for the skull, he managed to possess the man who came to read the meter the other day ( I warned him not to stare into his eye sockets) Christ knows waht I'm going to tell the gas board when they ask why their man is vomiting pea soup and doing 360s with his head
