Writing, audio drama, trains and general geekery with a touch of noir.
‘Allo, allo!
Taking a break from Friday afternoon to post two little additions to my steampunk outfit / collection. The first is a pair of loupes scored off of eBay and the second is a bolt and wingnut pin or collar tab, of which I plan to make a second.
Now then, I’ve got two emails from VP’s in my inbox. Back to it!
Just as the title says: the painting and polishing is now complete. It is effectively done, but detailing has yet to begin or even be considered. I want to add some lining, I think, to gussy it up a little around the ‘tumbler’. I may also dry brush on a lighter colour to highlight edges. Paint is Krylon charcoal with a hammered finish. I greatly approve of this paint. Greatly. Polishing courtesy of steel wool, of which I also approve of. Behold the “finished” result below as well as the “grease-gun” or “trumpet” from last year.
