coolplastic Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Okay here it is. Does not hold a candle to the ones I have seen on here but it is my first attempt at a "salt" paint job. The kit is a Mongram 36 Ford from the early iron series. The motor came from the parts box and the wheels and tires came from the Revell 30 Ford woody (Good Guys) kit. I also tried to make the top look more realistic by covering it with tissue paper soaked in a white glue/water mix before I painted it. Did not come out quite like I had envisioned it but did not feel it looked bad either. I learned alot on this build and will try this "salt" trick again. On a side note I would have never thought to try this if it wasn't for this forum and the people here. Living in Oklahoma this is as close to a model club I can get. My thanks to Gregg and everyone here who keeps this forum going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 That turned out really well! Did you learn that salt technique here, from Cranky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 That's nice! The rust is looking very good (and real), and those tires are nicely wheatered! Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
