City of Miami part 2 - 9
The original car had an artificial palm tree at the end of the
bar. Fortunately, I have a neighbor who raises chickens. A polite
request generated some feathers. Just add a small stick from the
yard, some paint, and I would have a palm tree. Or so I was told.
It didn’t work for me, so I ordered some kit palm trees, and used
one. The pot on the bottom is the tip of a needle cover, trimmed
to size. I trimmed the palm tree to the desired height, and super
glued it into the overturned needle tip. I used regular glue to fill in
as a base for the dirt. A little paint, and I had my potted palm tree.
Chairs and sofas
I started with: Red Cap Line -312 Heywood Lounge Sofas #634-P-2.
Removing the seat portion from the sprue first, I use self-closing
tweezers to hold the part. These pieces are all so small I use twee-
zers and sprue clippers to cut them from the sprue. Removing the
two leg/arm parts from the sprue, I set them on the work surface.
I applied plastic cement to one side of the seat section. Using a
pointed tweezers, I placed the arm/leg piece on the side of the
19: The underside of the Camellia. The cavities of the
four seats to be removed have been filled in with putty.
