Collette's Organ

[elysium64]

I have been unable to post pictures earlier as this model was entered in a competition over on the Lead Adventure Forum, the brief was to scratch build a piece of scenery using a CD as a base, kit parts could only be used as final dressing. I am very proud to say I won the competition.

A WIP to give impression of scale

Hope you like.

That is really really cool. I would probably not have used straws after bad experiences with them chipping in the past. But the whole thing together looks amazing.

[tony28]

That is awsome.

[Monad]

Wow! Very impressive! Did you have much trouble painting the straws? I've tried painting straws for use as scenery in the past and they have been a royal pain in the @$$ to get paint, even primer, to stick on. How was your experience?

[Shadeau Gorgon]

Loving this.

Nice paintjob, and the construction in it is great. Now you just need a whole theatre for it to sit in...

[MrNybbles]

Impressive!

[adamr]

very nice! is it a (1) interact to bust out some tunes in your game?

[elysium64]

Having used straws this time, would not do so again as they are prone to chipping, but at the time I did not know better and they seemed to provide the easiest option.

[Sturm88]

That is VERY cool.

I would use brass tubing or plasticard tubing in the future. Both can be found at any Hobby Town USA pretty cheap.

This is pretty incredible; awesome work!

I do enjoy.

Congratulations on your first place.

[TimeLapse]

This is seven shades of awesome!

If this continues to be an issue, try mixing latex (or PVA) into your paints, this will allow them to bend at the same time as the straws and make them less likely to chip. though you may need to give them as dusting of silica to stop them being sticky.

Absolutely beautiful work!

[dgraz]

Awesome.

[LoboStele]

Holy crap that is amazing. Makes me want to take the pictures of my organ down off the web. LOL

Very nicely done, and congrats on winning the competition. You obviously deserved it!

[Velsharoon]

Not much more I can say that others havent already said but jolly good show

[Owen Ojo De Lobo]

I'm trying to be original, but... I can't! Nice job! And I'm agree that do you need now the entire theatre... And we want pics!

[osoi]

[Omenbringer]

Nice job, maybe Wyrd will come out with a Piano Man model.
