Here's a thermal imaging tutorial I found: http://www.krishnamoorthi.com/2007/01/30/photoshop-tutorial-making-thermal-images/ I'll try playing around with it shortly. It requires Photoshop, though.

Hey, MB, you should get a mod to sticky a thread like this. ;)

A lot of folks were split over the JoeCon exclusives released by the GI Joe Collector's Club. Most were excited to see the 25th/modern construction to be used this year, but many were irritated about the availability of them, and especially the price. This is a set that I personally respected...

There is a newspaper stand set that I almost got, but it seemed slightly too large for the 1:18 scale. I wanted that brick set (short brick wall, right?) but never can find it. I'm down the peninsula, so East Bay is usually out of my stomping ground.

I've looked at every Target nearby, and none of them have them in-stock. So I'm going to have to go for one myself. I've gotten several other sets, and they're pretty awesome. I'm jealous, I want the Rincon, too.

Okay, so I had to do this silly "Flat Stanley" project for a cousin's kid, and while sort of annoying to do, it was partially fun. Anyways, long story short, it's sort of like the Amelie/Traveling Gnome concept. A figure that gets mailed around gets photographed and sent to the next person...

Thanks man, glad I was able to start something here that others can join in on. I was personally inspired by the work of others on the board, so it's a team effort. As far as the stencils, nope, haven't tried them, but I imagine it would work as well, just a different way of doing it. One of...

Those turned out great! I need to get back to mine, too. I won't do as much weathering on my next ones, because I think I went a bit too far with it. Are you going to try any weathering on the bricks, like moss, etc? Go a little at a time, because in-person, and in-camera, look like 2 different...

You know the drill. Pics or it didn't happen.

I forgot to mention, looks like the foil trick worked! You actually beat me to trying it myself. I do kind of like the way that the tedious stippling effect does on the bricks, but for more worn brick and especially concrete, I think that's how I'm going to go from here on. Don't you have a...

Looking good! I need to do some more wall sections this weekend, but I'm beat. My girl is out of town though, so it'd be a good time to make a mess while she's gone... Once paint goes on, even just that first layer... Things will really come together. That's the point that I knew it was going...

Post pics man, I don't mind. Part of the "teaching" angle is how well the "follower" can interpret your direction or example. I may have left off a lot of info, that I could correct. I'm also long-winded and kind of suck at explaining stuff. It is tedious, but worth the effort in the long run...

I only own one HISS Tank. How sad is that? This makes me want at least 2 more: 1 to leave a normal pair and one to beef up like this. What're the treads from? I know how you feel about the weathering. In person I bet it's not so vibrant. Photography often makes it look "dustier" than it is. I...

Look, just because you have standers...

So that's how you got the dots so small and consistent! Great job! What parts did you use?!

That's awesome man, wish I had the room. Post pics! Thanks to both of you, that means a lot. Both of you did a bunch of work that inspired me to get off my ass and do this. Hopefully my stuff will inspire others too, it's not as hard as it looks, and the foam is a great medium and very...

You know, you're actually right about some alleys being that nasty. I really did push it, but I'm glad I did. Now I will know how to gauge the amount of "moss 'n mold" next time. Alleyways are pretty nasty though, and even in SF (which is a generally cleanish city) from one block to the next it...

Haha, thanks man. You sure that boner's not for another reason? I like the level of detail, but I feel like it may be too much. I also like the cleaner version prior to it. But I guess for a "how to", it shows every step up to the weathering to give you a good solid "base" to add other details...

Shit's about to go down: More pics on page 1. I had to add the last 10 pics to my post after Blue and Eddie's posts. I'm more or less done, but still plan on making lights for the doors, adding signage, pipes, some street trash, and I'm doing 2 more wall sections. I'm thinking of doing a...

Yeah, I'm actually using a boxcutter for the heavy lines. The blade lasts WAY longer. This does the same thing, I have to score it at least 8 times to get it to snap remotely clean. The problem lies when I want a solid frame with the knocked-out inside... Sort of hard to score and snap without...
