Flying Scotsman Footplate miniature experience (scale 1/20) working on those details! 🤟 It's so awesome tone able to get loads of detail in and rivets are something that is honestly so rewarding to do 👌 Swipe to see how I finally found a use for some things I found ages ago. Anybody get a weird instinct that something will be useful at some point, then suddenly it's the perfect thing you need at a crucial moment. It's like a sixth sense 😂 any how, I hope you're all keeping well in this uncertain times 👍 #theflyingscotsman #steamtrain #firebox #timecapsule #steamlocomotive #hyperrealisticart #flyingscotsman #iconic #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #footplate #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #railways https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Xau2YHi8U/?igshid=1c1jme8xsfcl0

Flying Scotsman miniature footplate bexperience (scale 1/20) The completed piece! I think this is the first piece where I've entered the next era of my artwork. This piece will be going into my Etsy store after lockdown to be able to buy. It's obviously one of a kind so could be perfect for a train enthusiast! If you want to ensure that you can own it before it goes into my Etsy store, message me if you're interested and I can put it to one side for you 👍 I would love to see this piece go to a good home 😁 This is something I felt resinated with me and had meaning and so I'm going to endeavour to include a purpose behind all my art work going forward more like paintings! #theflyingscotsman #steamtrain #weathering #timecapsule #steamlocomotive #hyperrealisticart #flyingscotsman #4472 #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #perfectgift #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #footplate #thisweekindioramas #makingartinisolation #railways https://www.instagram.com/p/B_46BeMnICb/?igshid=zgemw9p93xiy

Flying Scotsman Footplate miniature experience (scale 1/20) I've started to prime some of the sections ready for painting and then weathering. I'm particularly happy with the way the seats have come out. I simply created them out of two cut to shape scrap pieces of plasticard and then I used milliput for the leather seats. I then engraved some stitch lines in and then added a piece of electrical wire with the protective sleeve removed to replicate the outer stitch line I suppose. The fire box will come next once completed but I've got a process I'm going to do for the surfaces on that 👍 #theflyingscotsman #steamtrain #firebox #timecapsule #steamlocomotive #hyperrealisticart #flyingscotsman #iconic #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #footplate #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #railways https://www.instagram.com/p/B_huQFrni0b/?igshid=12up9t5gen2cg

Flying Scotsman Footplate miniature experience (scale 1/20) I've sprayed the firebox back with a Matt black, interestingly it came out in a slightly satin finish which became really useful as looking at references it's really a shiny black so I used some pastels to add in all the coal dust that is required. It's absolutely filthy on these things so it's really satisfying to go heavy on the weathering... Still much to go and picking out the details 👌 #theflyingscotsman #steamtrain #weathering #timecapsule #steamlocomotive #hyperrealisticart #flyingscotsman #4472 #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #footplate #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #railways https://www.instagram.com/p/B_perv8n0oG/?igshid=87wsqqnfdcmj

Flying Scotsman Footplate miniature experience (scale 1/20) I thought I would show a comparison shot so you can get an understanding of exactly what I'm trying to achieve... This morning I've made the seats using milliput on top of plasticard... You'll see the rivet details on the backs once they are in place 👌 I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and stretch your legs if you can, I know I have been 👍 #theflyingscotsman #steamtrain #firebox #timecapsule #steamlocomotive #hyperrealisticart #flyingscotsman #iconic #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #footplate #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #railways https://www.instagram.com/p/B_clvZbnu1I/?igshid=m6dzwb90fs7w

Flying Scotsman Footplate miniature experience (scale 1/20) Riveting stuff!! So many but very worth doing. I've always loved the look of riveted metals it confirms how strong and powerful a machine is, it's iconic with our British history... If it's riveted it's there to stay! 👌 #theflyingscotsman #steamtrains #riveting #timecapsule #steamlocomotive #hyperrealisticart #flyingscotsman #iconic #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #footplate #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #railways https://www.instagram.com/p/B_fJyMJHBWk/?igshid=be2mi38h2qvz
