Post by: Dave K. on March 26, 2018, 09:15:02 PM

Just arrived today. I'm thinking of a creepy dental office with one of those cool 3-D trade signs hanging out front.

Here's Doug's original.

The usual, well-done documentation. Great set of signs! 👍🏻

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos
Post by: Dave K. on March 26, 2018, 09:19:29 PM

Wonder how hard it would be to make something like these...?

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos
Post by: Dave K. on March 26, 2018, 09:25:41 PM

My first attempt this evening was carving from a piece of basswood. Here's my second attempt...hydrocal this time...an old shipping crate casting.

Might be too big. I'll futz around some more tomorrow and maybe go with a 2-D sign.

Come on you can do it , it's 3D we want to see.

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos
Post by: rpdylan on March 27, 2018, 05:43:00 AM

I think you almost got it, just need to narrow it a bit. Have you tried balsa wood? Michaels sells it and it carves real easy!

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos
Post by: Dave K. on March 27, 2018, 07:06:55 AM

Well, how can I quit with a cheering section like that? Balsa's a good idea. Oh, and I should also start the dang structure. 🤣

Love seeing a brand new Dave K thread! You know I'll be following along.

For the tooth have you considered (and I forget the brand name of it) the modeling clay that JoAnn's and Michael's sell that can be formed and then baked to harden it? I've used it for cow pies although they were a bit easier to shape than a tooth. ;)

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos
Post by: Dave K. on March 27, 2018, 07:39:53 AM

Great idea, Bob! Gotta take Molly to the vet...I'll swing by Michael's. I can't remember the name, either. "Sculpey" sounds vaguely familiar.

Where's Russ from NEBrownstone or Randy from Downtown Deco when you need them? 😜

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos
Post by: NEBrownstone on March 27, 2018, 08:19:39 AM

Ahahaha, just happened to look at the forum and came across this. None of the shingles are accurate for a tooth, so I wouldn't worry about it being perfect. If I were to do it I would use hydrocal too since it's easy enough to carve. Use this http://danhoangdds.com/the-anatomy-of-a-tooth/ (http://danhoangdds.com/the-anatomy-of-a-tooth/) diagram for a 2d layout. I'd scale it down, print it out then lay it on your carving material. Cut that out, then sand it down to round it off to make it 3d-ish. There is no need to add any anatomy (cusps and fissures) to the tooth. Just a basic profile.

I've always wanted to do a dental office, just because. I'd use the name Opaceous Dentin for the dentist's name. It's really the name for a porcelain layer used in making crowns, but I always thought it would work well for an inside joke for any visiting dentists or dental lab technicians.

It's those roots that are tricky...break easily. Y'alls have goaded me into a challenge.

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos

Found a couple of pieces to work with.

Starting over...

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos
Post by: Dave K. on March 27, 2018, 09:31:24 AM

The trick seems to be going SLOWLY and knowing when to STOP before breakage...

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos
Post by: Dave K. on March 27, 2018, 09:35:46 AM

I'm assuming these old trade signs would've been carved from wood...maybe something lighter? In any case, the maker would not be skilled in oral anatomy so they wouldn't be perfect.

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos
Post by: rpdylan on March 27, 2018, 11:59:59 AM

I forgot about Sculpy! Hydrocal idea is a great one also- that last tooth pic is looking good....

By the way we found that sign thanks for your help.

The color test swatches above are pretty blotchy. Gotta watch that on the actual walls. Still noodling the color options.

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos
Post by: Dave K. on March 28, 2018, 08:35:36 AM

Decided to go understated with a cream/off-white like Doug's proto. Not sure of the accent color. It'll probably be next to a liquor store which is already blue.

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos

Sponge-dabbing a bit of Stormy Sky Pickling Wash.

One final, light pass with the Driftwood pickling. Molly says it's time for a break. Back after a walk.

I've always weathered signs after gluing to the wall. Changed it up this time and dry-dabbed the sign first.

Thanks, gents. After painting the 1/16 corner trim I give it a quick pass with the sanding stick to remove some of the paint and get rid of the fuzzies. Then a quick inkahol wash and some dry-dabbing with the driftwood warsh.

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos

Coming on very well, Dave.

I'm a big fan of this particular Foscale offering - a kit with a lot of character. I would have bought it - but I plan on doing a scratch-build of an even taller very similar structure still standing in Tinakori street, Wellington, New Zealand. This one a full 5 stories!

Post by: Dave K. on March 28, 2018, 07:00:16 PM

That is a very cool building, Mark. Hope you'll invite us along for the ride when you get to it. One of the things I liked about Gordon's was how it's stepped-back on a couple of levels. That and it's nice and narrow across the front for a town scene.

Thanks for following, Tom. Always a privilege to have you aboard.👍🏻

Hey Dave did you do the window panes with the Canopy glue?

Title: Re: Gordon’s Novelty by Fos
Post by: Dave K. on March 28, 2018, 08:09:47 PM

Sometimes I use the acetate sheets. I like Gallery Glass, which I used here. Some don't like the waviness but I'm fine with it. I haven't used canopy glue since I started using GG a few years back. It also comes in a frosted version. I use GG simulated liquid leading for roofing tar/pitch.

Been out of action for a few days. What started as a head cold to brighten my Spring Break took an ugly turn and had me knocked horizontal for over two days. Got back downstairs today to see where I left off. Back to work tomorrow. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Storefront begins with two layers for the main body, then detail pieces added...

Welcome, gents. Yep, decided to go with the flatter, two-root toofus. Was going to try carving another or two, balsa and plaster, but I think this will do.

Damn...should've gotten the tooth in closer to the wall. I think the glue has set by now.
