Miniature wooden pallets are a great detail for whatever project you're working on! These are super cheap and easy to make, not to mention you can make several in a single afternoon. All you need is some basswood or balsa wood strips, an X-Acto Blade, a ruler, super glue, and acrylic paint, and sandpaper.
I used vallejo acrylic paints to stain the wood pallets:
Black
Brown
Buff
Deck Tan
White
Blue (for painted sides)

The pallet jacks were my favorite things in the whole video - so amazingly realistic with the scratched paint and rust.

@smolworldworkshop 7 ай бұрын

Thank you so much, they were lots of fun to paint! In case you were wondering, I just basecoated them either blue or yellow. All the chipping was done using gray Vallejo acrylics that I mixed from black and white. Then the rust was added using ak interactive enamel light rust and streaking rust!

I just can’t believe how perfect they are! So realistic that if I didn’t know that they were tiny I would just think that they were regular pallets.

Thank you!! I’m glad you thing they look realistic! Definitely lots of fun to make. Thanks for watching!

Now you just need to work on making some miniature you-tubers to collect the pallets and turn into over priced "modern" furniture.

I made some pallets a few months ago for my eddie stobart twiggy truck that I am currently building. The trailer is 3 feet long, so I've got a few more to make for it yet 42 issues left to go.i have some real pallets in my garden so all I did was copy the real ones I have

Great videos.... do you sell the pallet jacks . I don't have a 3d printer? Thanks joe

@smolworldworkshop 10 ай бұрын

Hi Joe, unfortunately I don’t sell physical copies at the moment. These are 1/24 scale, and I’m not sure what scale you need, but I think Miniart sells a “hand pallet truck set” in 1/35 scale. Hope this helps!

Currently i am working at a grocery store to pay down bills and save up to re-open my Brick and Mortar hoby shop. these are they types of palates I see every day at work. Do you measure a real palate and scale it down, or are you just guessing the dimensions?

@smolworldworkshop 10 ай бұрын

I'm making these pallets for a specific scene in Asia, so I found the measurements on their manufacture's website and scaled them down!

The process should more or less be the same as these, just scale down the proper dimensions and it should be pretty straightforward from there! These specific pallets are for a scene in Hong Kong! Thanks for watching!

Great detail my friend. I made 3 piles 8" and higher for an Apocalypse diorama. I wish I had seen this before. Now I'm inspired to add more! Maybe a fortress made of old, broken pallets. Thanks.
