Today I have been working on a couple of new funnels, this time they will get the iconic MARDI GRAS/Carnival livery.

Red, the color of passion! With the blue back part the Mardi Gras funnels are having their iconic Carnival livery.

It has been a pleasant couple of days in the workshop, processing and airbrushing MARDI GRAS funnelsβthe original βfun ship" which set the trend for the iconic Carnival livery.

If you're interested in one of these funnels check out my webshop.
I needed a table saw for cutting the model display bases...
- What to do?
- Build one myself of course!
I repurposed some spare material that was sitting in the shed for several years now and a spare power jigsaw. This will make studio work soo much more easy!

A look inside the kitchen
For my models I use a variety of warm woods, like Mahogany and Teak. After a light sanding and cleaning I apply a coat of Danish Oil to brighten up the base blocks.

Its a color fest in the studio today, and the green Empress of C still needs to be painted.
