Play Adept Magazine & Beer Cans



I realize the DKoK are supposed to be extraordinarily disciplined, but I wanted to give the Medusa a lived in feel. The Base layers and some oils have been completed, and I decided to make a little girly magazine and some beer cans to add to the interior. I'll be adding additional stowage, so the placement isn't finalized. I just wanted to see what people thought of my beer cans. I have not been able to paint any meaningful design on them without deforming them, so they would remain blue. Anyone have a source for 1/56 beer cans? I used aluminum foil wrapped around a cocktail straw to make these.

    1. I think I need to work on the beer cans. I really want them to have white labels and say ADEPT BEER in a generic black font. Once all the dirt is added I'll focus more on the trash.

  2. Simply awesome! Little touches like the magazine and such really add a ton of character to the model, as well as help establish a sense of scale.

    There are a few O scale beer bottles to be had on shapeways, otherwise I'd say maybe slices of appropriately thick plastic rod and a little GS pull tab for cans?

    Always jazzed to see your posts, keep up the fantastic work!

    1. Thanks. I'm trying to get back into regular painting. Watching you crank out endless models is a bit intimidating. :)

  3. Very cool, every tank some have some litter in it.

    As for the cans, could you print paper and then wrap it around a stick to make the cylinder, and then a couple of layers of gloss/PVA?

    1. Don't worry it was printed! I'm not a masochist. :)
