So, It's something like Squadron green putty? Can't wait to see this one finished up!capt midnight wrote:[quote="tomhugill"ROFL! That really made me chuckle. The tortoise is situated in shelf segment closest to.the door and lowest to the floor. Everything else on my selves is dry and fine for.some.reason this one went rusty. The green stuff represents cast texture but it'll be toned down in the final finishing.

Good. But lest anyone should forget the hapless metal monster that occasioned the thread, here's another view of the Tortoise. Here it's displaying symptoms of shell-pox, a terminal disease suffered by armoured vehiclesgp100 wrote:Now this thread is damn funny!

Here's one designed to ward off garden intruders, first premiered on Freaky News, the Mk 2 model: Before beginning this thread, I'd no idea how often the humble tortoise had been the subject of ridicule and modification...

The sea air up here can reduce even galvanised parts to heaps of red dust before you know it; but I'd never suspect that a kitchen in Manchester could be so cruel to a helpless beast. Perhaps Tom should have used brass bolts..

Issue or rusting bolts. The kitchen is not so bad, however the bottom shelf near the door of my garage seems to create natural oxidisation!
Woz the turret looks fantastic so far!
