How to make cement floor.

Cement floor.

This is very easy way to make cement floor. Basic material is on modelling material, very fine sand and few shade gray paint.

Spread modelling material over to base. Then put gray paint and sand on modelling material.

Next step is mix all together. Use lot water , but put it only with finger. Sand gives little rough surface, but its fits well on workshop. Maybe sanding dust fit better if need smoother surface.

Photos are not very good hard see different grey shade.

Final step is weathering cement floor. This depends which purpose floor will be come. My floor come to workshop., so its very dirty, Base weathering i use Citadel earthshade. I mix its lot of water because without water is too dark.

last one is detailing floor oil patch etc. and dry brushing it with light gray if floor is too dark.

I hope at tips is useful

Workshop : plan

My latest work is GAZ-AAA truck. Finnish army got lot of war loot in Continuation War . so I decided to make diorama for it . There Finnish soldier maybe repaint it to Finnish color and repair trucks.. I have made so many dioramas whit nature at its funny try to make something different. I hope at all succeed well.

I think its come something like that. End of text is real SA-photo from workshop.

The house becomes a little skewed, as allowed by the variation

First step is immerse some bricks in balsa tree.

window wall need still more bricks.

When all bricks is put , cover all balsa whit modelling mass. Dip your finger in water, and tap the mass .This will give you beautifully plastered surface

This is not finalized surface. but you get a little feel what kind of wall should be.

reference the photos from a workshop
All these photos are SA-photos.

GAZ-AAA tires.

This Mini-art GAZ-AAA is the best-looking tires that I'm compiled.

the tires are 8 different part, but this is reflected in an excellent final result.

Tires are well designed. You can paint the tires and wheel hoop in isolation.

So you can easily get the exact trace

I paint tires Andrea 1. shadows black. its not pure black. But i thinks at you get much better looking when use little gray black . Then i dry brushing tires ivory white.
