SpecialAdvisor Valve 1.0. Mk. 4 Krylon ColorShift Green-Copper Paint, Tamiya Transparent Green (with misted layers of Krylon green and blue sea glass) Lugs, Disney Hitchhiking Ghosts green icons. Unidentified Black Lenses.

Was going to call this my Haunted Mansion or Hitchhiking Ghost Valve 1.0…but after all the surgery it’s undergone it “must” be the Frank-en-Frame! It….IS…ALIVE!!!!

Reporting Officer Comment: Yeah @southside …this “is” that frame

Linegear Tsuyakeshi Lens and Linegear Gray-Sand Rubber updates for my Penny, XX, and X-Squared. Think this is going to be my default X-Metal loadout.

I dig it

I am not entirely sure which has a higher clench factor…MARS C-Clips or “any” Nose Pin operation

Had to chuckle at myself…diligently sandblasting these Juliet’s back to X-Metal when next week I’m gonna rust the heck out of em…

I’m in desperate need of more display space.

I have space for 12 frames over my dresser. Usually my top picks.

I also have two vertical stands in my closet…which I only see when I’m in my closet…not “that” often. But those are usually close behind those over my dresser.

Other than that a few recent arrivals are sitting on my office desk (I call it my Sanctum Sanctorum) and sadly the rest are in rolling metal cases.

I have zero available floor space for a cool cabinet like “My Liege” @Lopaka KaMars is working on…so I’m improvising.

I have a 30x12 inch space above the door on the inside of my Sanctum.

I figure I can 3D Model and Print 16 wall mounts and put up a 4 wide by 4 deep display similar to my dresser display. I just had to tinker with my original model to add screw holes for wall mounting (rather than gluing as I did above my dresser…those were inset and had a wood frame).

…and so we begin

Looks cool…just got zero wall space it’d fit in!

Alrighty then!

I had initially planned to rust the heck outta these Juliets. But after a consultation this AM (yeah…this means you @Broccoli ), they are getting a raw copper treatment. Same base coat but I’m going with Modern Masters Metal Effects Copper (which has real copper oxide in it) with no patina or finishing coat. So it’ll age naturally as raw copper would. Should be interesting.

Mad Scientists at work!

I love reading your thread! Always something new and exploratory happening at your pad I dig when you say ‘we will see’.
