Police Box

[flyjoe180]

That is the smallest Police box I have ever seen! Great job Monica.

[monica]

thank you Laurie,I,m glad you like it,


that would of been great to see the real one,as maybe it was Bakers old one that got knocked about,


a lot of the old police box,s were turned into coffee shops,and other things as well,but most,well there all gone,


what a shame not to keep them about,

ta Joe,glad you like it,the fun part will be the figures when i get them,

He is sitting ............ Do you mean paint him black first and then do the colours ???....... The body is a green flight suit with various bits I can pick out with a dry brush........ The bit that is driving me nuts is the white helmet, dark visor and black oxygen mask........ Getting the line between the visor and helmet is proving a real challenge........and the visor / mask just seem to be blending as one.........

the trick is not to use black as the color of the black oxygen mask,but a dark gray,to when washed with a blac it will high lite the lows,and then a very lite dry brush with


a mid gray on the most outer points,


see if that works,for you,


paint him black primer,then use a mid green,as a base,then come back with a darker green wash to get the low points,this should work on that scale,once dry,use a liter


green as a dry brush,


with the visor and helmet ,paint in an off white,and with the visor do the same a dark gray,then run around the edge with a black,very fine line,and use a lite gray as were the


light will hit the visor


hope this helps and explains it a little better for you,

Monica's production line keeps on coming lol. nice work on something so small.

[Guest]

Great work as usual, much too small for me, don't know how you manage it, unless of course you are using a trick rule that's actually double scale, making the tardis actually 96 millimetres, oh yes I'm onto your little tricks moni.

[bazers]

Nice idea Mon am watching.

[monica]

ta Steve,Ken,Barry,


so glad you all like it,much harder than you think painting so small with detail, oh my eyes my eyes lol,

oh Boo you found out all done with smoke and mirrors lol,,real 1;1 oh I like that,

A 1/48 scale Dr who scene , sounds interesting, moni I don't think the copyright cover things like this I'm quite sure you can mention the tardis

It isn't 1/48 Al, 1/48 is 1 inch=48 inches. The Tardis is 48mm so is 1.88 inches so to go with the 28mm figures it will be 1/56 scale. In fact I have confused myself, so Moni, Al and anyone else looking just ignore...I'm off back to bed.


Nice work Moni, lovely little police box.

Thanks Monica........ I'll give that a go. I think to "clear the deck" once I've buttoned up the fuselage this evening, and got the wings on tomorrow...... I'll be leaving all that to dry properly for a couple of days....... So I'll dedicate the weekend to the little guy, and try to crack it.

I think that way should work for you,mid green with a black wash should pickup the deeper lines,and fraim him in,that the idea behind it,


will be interested to hear how you get on,

Nice work Moni, lovely little police box.

glad that you like it,


oh dear Si,well you know ,I get so confused trying to work out scales as well,and just give up in the end lol,


It is meant to be used with the 28mm figures,

Ok Monica............ I've reached the conclusion that figures are definitely "Not My Thing" ............ I've spent bloody ages on this and he definitely isn't going to compliment the MIG-21 one bit.........

OK ......So when you finish laughing Monica........... Give me your comments.

[monica]

that's not so bad at all Peter,


ok to pickup the detail,on his uniform,just a very lite dry brush of a darkish to like gray cross way on his chest,


will pick up the pockets and a bit of an aged white on his helm ,then on his hands a very thin wash of a dark red or flesh color,


as I can see the line were his arm is again his chest,
