Mr Stock Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Bit of a different venture for me as I'm normally a strictly shiny factory stock builder, this is the great AMT Chevy 3100 kit, I can echo everyones comments in that this kit was a joy to build. I wanted to get the look of a weather worn beaten up old truck that's still in daily use. I used a Red oxide primer base and used MIG products heavy chipping fluid then a topcoat of Vallejo acrylic, the rest of the effects are a mixture of pastels and Tamiya weathering powders. I made various dents in the body using heat and the tip of an eraser from a pencil. Very happy with how it turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DynoMight Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Wow! Great weathering. How did you get the chrome to look like that? Looks really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stock Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Wow! Great weathering. How did you get the chrome to look like that? Looks really good. Thanks Glenn, I sort of had a head start on the chrome as the kits chrome tree was almost a satin finish, but to help it along I painted on Vallejo Satin clear and then used a mixture of MIG rust stain fluid and Citadel "Nuln Oil" wash.

rmvw guy Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Very nice job on the weathering. Looks kind of like the one I once owned and built in 1;25, only in the blue variety. I love this kit having built it 5 times with two more on the shelf. Edited December 14, 2014 by rmvw guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gary, I couldn't resist posting mine since it looks so close to yours. I tried to get a smaller picture but, this is the only size allowed for me. This is one of my favorites. You should look at some of Dr. Cranky's weathering of the '50 pickup. He does a lot of the blue hues, I love all his work. Here's the link. http://www.doctorcrankyslabratory.com/ Yours really reminds me of what he does.
