Still on the terrain theme. Someone donated their old, beaten up train set to me. I was very impressed with the level of detail on the cars and instantly saw the potential. Even though their scale is 1:72, so too small to be used as a train, any plastic with molded detail can be re-purposed with some imagination and a bit of paint-work.
I took off the wheels and the under-carriage (keeping both for other projects - see billboard in later post), added a ladder to one (remember the fire engine), some old tyres to another (super cheap toy cars are great), and spray primed everything black before added colours.
I dry brushed with "Boltgun Metal" on a couple of pieces and a brass metallic paint on the oil tank. Then I used Tamiya weathering on everything.
Currently I'm posting pictures of things I've already completed, but when I reach "current" I'll post more detailed "How-to" information with photos of each stage.
