3D Printed Crane finished!

Sometimes you just have to take a moment and look in wonder! Yesterdays view was stunning, but no finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow even though it looked just a few hundred yards from my vantage point!

 

Maybe if I had a crane I could lift myself to the end! And talking of cranes, despite the continued mess in the reorganisation of the Man Cave, I did manage to finish the 3D printed crane! First off was to colour in the bricks of the plinth using my various coloured pencils.

Then the crane was treated to a wash of Citadel's Nulin oil which I had found during my reorganisation!

Once that was dry it was time for some rust and dust weathering powders to be applied with a soft brush to both the crane and plinth.

Once that was done the plinth and crane were treated to a coat of matt varnish. After that I just highlighted some of the edges of the crane with a dry brushing of gunmetal grey which just makes the detail stand out a bit more. I think it looks good!

Where is that pot of gold?

According to the old saying, there should be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow but in this case which end? Being serious, which will surprise Mrs. Woody, this is perhaps the best rainbow I have seen for years. It just suddenly appeared whilst out on a bike ride and no rain in sight!

It certainly brightened my day as much of it was spent on those admin type things you have to do to ensure the continued functioning of financial matters so that things like Mrs. W's internet and physical shopping activities can continue without interruption and my life is, as a result, relatively blissful!

On a more mundane note more magazines to the recycling centre! You would think that there can't be many left - but there are! However, despite looking there was no pot of gold under that lot!

Mrs. W is impressed with this decluttering so that is all that matters for a continued blissful life!!
