I’m happy about that, thanks!
I put a layer of glow-in-the-dark paints over each dot; I wish I could get a good pic of that. I might try later. I incorporate gitd paint in about half of my work, it seems.

A sign for a watch repair shop, for 3D printing. I downloaded a file, already created, of the watch in Dali’s Persistance of Memory that sits on the table, oozing off the side. I modified to look it like the watch in the background hanging off the tree branch.
The embossed numbers and hands are separate, for easier painting.

No title at the present time. Please - no suggestions using the following words: Hindenburg, lead, led, zeppelin. Thanks!
I painted the background color first, using a roller sponge. Then I kinda stared at it from different angles, eventually seeing what to me looked like the outline of an airship…and I went from there.
How about My Dream Home. I love airships.

I know, the one in “Up” was great, except for the evil associated with it, lol.
I just named it “Airship”.
EDIT: I’ve decided to change the title to “Dirigible”. Because I can, lol.

I finally 3D printed & painted my diner sign:
Unfortunately the sign is too big for the diner kit I got on ebay, so I’m redoing it smaller, and this time trying to use Shapeway.com’s color printer.
This is the kit I got on eBay the sign will go with:
Weird coincidence on the names!
“Celebrating? Have a Donner Party”

I’m attempting Jamuary this year (posting a little synth jam every day of the month). I managed to get in the first day despite driving from Shreveport-ish to St. Louish-ish and being exhausted…

Here’s a garbage truck I finished. It’s a kit by a company (Model Tech Studios), who bought dump trump kits from another company (Jordan Models, now defunct) and added the garbage truck details to it. A kit within a kit.
I have also been working on a model of an old street sweeper. It’s a kit too, and is supposed to look like this:
Unfortunately the metal castings were a bit substandard:
Lumpy, pitted, lines of flashing. The company says to “bend them as needed, then fill with putty.”
Screw that. I decided to 3D print some of the more visible castings and substitute them for the metal. For reference, I used the picture on the box, the castings themselves, and a photo of the real thing as reference. Here’s the body and cockpit file:
Of the original castings, I ended up using only the wheels:
I still need to use chalk powders to dirty it up, sort of like the garbage truck.

Finally starting to put the diner together. It’s an old kit I bought on eBay, with one of the passenger car’s end chopped off and replaced by the kitchen (which would have been on back, out of view, in the original kit). The sign and cup are 3d printed.
The kit’s name is Donna’s Diner, which is an interesting coincidence – unless the bosses at the company said, “No we can’t call it Donner’s Diner; we’d offend customers.”
