Custom toy paint jobs

Yep, it's dead good, a killer job! ;)

I might be interested in the full set too, waiting to see what the leds in the windows look like.
 
Excellent work but a bit gloomy. Have you thought of doing a Thomas Kincade style Christmas cottage edition?
 
This kinda stuff, preferably with a Xmas train puffing around - go to your nearest garden centre around now and you'll see what I'm talking about

Pricing is as follows:

Fully painted and sealed with polyurethane varnish £35 + postage.


Fully painted, Windows cut out and sealed with polyurethane varnish £40 + postage.

If the light mod is effective that will also be an option I'll add that price when I'm happy with it.

Just to add if people think the pricing is a lil high this took me just over 3 hours so I think that's a very fair price. Especially if you look at back alleys prices you'd be looking at about £100

Hi rudi
Definitely wanting this done but will wait till castle and graveyard are ready then I can take all three off and send at the one time cracking job.

Cheers Brian.
 
Looks like you could be busy for a while Rudi.
Hey, @Judge Dreads how's about coming up with a flickering candle mod for the light from the windows ?
Should be pretty simple for a guy of your talents.
 
Hi Daz, I already have, Rudi has the prototype 4 x led candle setup (may need to increase the number but that's the starter for 10), I will be working with him on these if there is a demand, thought of hawking them in the past but it is a permanent mod with cutting the window holes etc and I don't supply anything that requires that kind of input for obvious reasons.

Price is £25 for this one + postage, at Darren's request there will also be a crypt light mod (hence the cut outs) but I don't have a price yet.

The work looks cool Rudi, a massive difference :). For the photos, you could do with a light tent. This page has a few examples on it : https://www.stevesphotoshop.co.uk/photo_light_tents_cubes.html , but you don't have to buy one - you can easily make them yourself out of white tissue paper or semi-transparent material (to diffuse the light) and a few carefully directed lights pointing through the sides and top. Then ditch the flash on the camera totally, that will just give reflections and contrast problems. Colours should come out more naturally, and the diffusion will help stop contrast problems and shadows.
 
A little update on the lighting mod if you want the village lit up add £23 if you want the village plus the crypt lit up add £26

I only have a video of the prototype at the mo I can either show you that or you will have to wait until ive put the machine back together as its stripped at the mo
 
I want to see it!!

On a separate note what do you think you could do with the bomber off Tommy? Mine has a spot on a wing where the paint has bleached so the whole thing needs re doing Rudestyle... or is it doggystyle?!
 
Very nice work again Rudi,

These ones are little more subtle, the village was night and day different. I suspect you will be getting a few orders for these, the whole set looks like a huge improvement.

As has been said above, a small light tent would work wonders for your photos. I got mine for only a small amount of money from China.

Make sure you have loads of bright light if using one.

Don't know what size stuff you work with, but probably a 80-100cm one would do you?
