Suggestions: Crumple the aluminum foil first, then straighten it out before you cut it. This will give sheets of junk that are not perfectly smooth. Also, take some of the empty parts sprues from plastic kits and cut them into short lengths and put them into the pile of junk pieces. This will improve the variety. Finally, glue a large washer (or two) to the underside of the foam core. This lets you pull the load out of the car with a magnet.
I weathered my gondola first. Using a soldering iron, I dented the car in places. Don't overdo it. Then I take scrapes, sprue, horn hoke couplers, whatever small things, and put them in the gondola. Then I mix even Elmers's glue and water and fill the car to the top. Set it aside for a few days until the water evaporates. I finish painting the scrap with rust, black, dark brown. Spray it with dulcoat. It is an easy way to make loads and clean up the workbench.
I used some emptied yogurt cups for scrap. The cup itself is useful for paint, small parts, etc. for short jobs. The foil container top makes a good crushed "metal" bale. I roll up the old top, then use a pair of pliers to form a square bale. This would be about the size of the product from the Walthers scrap metal baler. Sometimes I make the bales, using the aluminum side out, then paint, or not. I sometimes use the printed side with the yogurt brand info on the outside. This provides different colored bales, as a junked auto bale might appear. Then Dull Coat lightly. The bales look good around the "Washington Scrap Yard" equipment, in gondolas, or piles in the junk yard.
Why do you play background music and then try to talk over it??? I just don't understand that concept. The music distracts from your narration. Cheers from eastern TN
It keeps the attention going throughout the video rather than just silence and talking. For today's attention span, background noise (music) helps the younger generations involved. however, the music couldve been too loud and i can lower that.
