Weaverville, North Carolina
Dana built Scale 75’s steampunk-inspired 1/12 scale bust of mechanic Joe Cassidy out of the box and painted it with Tru-Earth acrylics. “Since the model had a head-scratching, bewilder[ed] look, I decided to add a mess of parts to the base,” Dana said. The gears, all plastic, were painted to look like rusty metal.
