Looks great, I like the weathered look way better than any mirror-smooth show finish! BTW: How did you do those spider web cracks on the T-Bird?

first I painted the model flat black

then i used rubber cement to hold down some sewing thread

when the cement dried i painted the body

Thanks for the detailed description! I'm thinking about building a weathered Corvette gasser, and that would be a great way to simulate the cracks you see in old fiberglass bodies. You could even use thin copper wire to make the cracks thinner on a 1:25 car... the gears are turning now... :lol:
