It’s strange that you keep calling the company that made this kit F. O. S. The company is owned by a man named Doug Foscale. So the company is called Fos scale models.
Glad you’re back! Enjoyed the show. If I may, it would be nice if you guys could watch the foul language. I know you gents are better than that. Brett, I wouldn’t want my kids to hear it. You’re a better dad than that.
We might’ve gotten a little carried away, but the shows are all listed as explicit. Always have been. We will cool it off a bit next time, but won’t change the core. ❤
Can you sand it after it cures to smooth it out? I thought this was more of a pour and smooth out application. It was really helpful to see that you can use a paint brush to apply it and that you don't need that much. Useful video, thanks!
It should be noted dimension wise, these are good dimensions for an older highway from say the 1930s. If you are modeling a more modern era such as after the 1960s, highways generally have 12 to 13 ft lanes now with 4, 8 or 10 ft paved shoulders, or just gravel. Center line skips are standard 10 ft long now on 40 ft centers, so 30 ft gaps. The gap between double yellow is generally 7 to 8”. Looks good. 👍🏻
have you tried mixing it with paints before? I seen someone made some really nice toxic sludge with the heavy gloss medium (similar to this, was liquitex, also) I have been meaning to pick some up to mess around with and see if I can do anything I want to use on my bases (I mainly do Warhammer 40k armies, but I really like to make nice bases for them) I am looking at getting into using UV resin, as I'm only using it in small amounts, so easy enough to do. Resin on the scale you're doing is a huge task.
I like the idea of using brown chalk to tone down the colors and to highlight the facial features. For skin, I use Army Painter skin tones: Barbarian flesh, Elven Flesh, and Tanned Flesh. Then I apply an Army Painter wash: either a light tone or a flesh tone to bring out the highlights. I also use Army Painter Washes - sometimes they're called shaders - to add contrast to the rest of the figure. Painting blue jeans with a faded denim craft paint, then applying a blue wash makes outstanding faded jeans!
I just used this method on a set of 1/35 scale tank tracks which are going on a derelict Tiger 1, came out very nice! Thanks for sharing your secret brew!
I was curious and hope you'll answer, even though the video is few years old! Was everything packed like that when you received the kit (ie: stripwood loose as well as all of the other wood parts)?
This is a great insight into Wayman's ideas and thoughts in modeling, especially his weathering. They may look easy in his videos, but his training and artistic eye allow his hands to work magic.
It's a great hobby shop. There's so much inside. It's like peeling an onion when you slide the panels. When I lived in Virginia, it was a long drive, but worth it. Now that I'm in South Carolina, I'm glad they do mail-order. Good interview.
