open top loads

[thetramp]

I was trying to find something to make scrap metal loads and I was stumped. I started looking around and here is what I have done so far. I got some pencil shavings and painted them chrome. It was the only paint I had at the time. I also painted some a rust color and will mix the two together. See attached. Next, I will shape a piece of Styrofoam and glue the shavings to it and spray a clear coat over that. More photos as the project develops.

       

I also picked up a small bag of the stuff they use to spread on the floor to pick up oil and such. I sifted the material and got large, med. and small rocks that I will use for a rock load. Pictures on that project when I start it.
