Following on from yesterdays post I have included this single image of rusted clutter. Earlier this year Sue and I visited a car boot sale in Droitwich Spa and had a great time browsing the various stands and enjoying the glorious weather. One of the vendors was selling hundreds of diecast cars and toys - three items for just £1.00 and I picked up a load for spares and remodelling.
The ore bucket or kibble is a modified cement mixer barrel which after removing from the metal body was cut down and detailed with plastic card and plastic rod. Once completed the kibble was painted in a well worn dark brown, highlighted with lighter brown and rust colours before being given a covering of rust powders.
The two V skips are cut down skips from a Thomas The Tank Engine wagons. I removed one section of plastic between the ribs and glued the two sections together with Poly cement before trimming and sanding smooth. Once again I painted the skips in brown and rust colours before adding them to my Ogam & Stone O-16.5 narrow gauge layout.
The final item was just a section of a plastic wheel trimmed and sanded before being painted.
I would expect to be adding these items to the different narrow gauge layouts later this month.
