geetee66 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 My 1st attempt at weathering. I used a selection of acrylics and artists' pastels. I made the decals using decal paper and added a little bit of chain to the tailgate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmvw guy Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Nice! First attempt? You nailed it. Like it under the hood and the outside weathering. Can't tell what the decal says from the angle of the picture but, I like the weathering on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorvairJim Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 May I point out one minor detail? Not meaning to pick apart a fine model, but it looks like the paint along the tops of the bed sides is wearing through and the metal beneath is beginning to show rust. The bed sides of the Cameo were fiberglass, so they wouldn't rust. Crack, yes, but not rust. Maybe it's just dirty and/or greasy, since the wear pattern isn't the same as the front fenders and I'm just looking at it wrong. That's my ONLY kvetch about this otherwise fantastic model. It definitely looks better than my first attempt at weathering (or my second - I've only done two!). Where did you find that chain? I need to find a whole bunch of it for a 60's-style car carrier semi I'm building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Might just be exposed red oxide primer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticks Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) For your first attempt I'd say thats pretty good. Looks great. Edited December 5, 2011 by Sticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks guys. It's nice to know I'm getting it right! Jim, thanks for your comments. I did a bit of research prior to this build, so I did realize the bed sides were fibreglass. I haven't burnt through the paint for that very reason. It only looks like that in the pictures. I only tried to simulate dirt n grime, but I appreciate you giving it such a close inspection! The chain is from a jewellery suppliers. In the UK you can get fine silver chain from Cookson's in Hatton Garden, or by mail order online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dedo Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Okay, are you really telling the truth that this is a first attempt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvairJim Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I hadn't considered Chuck's suggestion of red primer. That makes sense to me. Looked at that way, it's just a phenominal job, especially for a first attempt! I saw a nicely weathered Cameo in "that other magazine" a few years ago where the builder clearly hadn't done the research. Plenty of well-executed rust-out in all the right places - over the headlight brows, in the front fender doglegs, the lower corners of the doors... and all along the bottom edges of those fiberglass bed sides and around the rear wheel wells!

surfjunke Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 The Cameo turned out great! Very nice weathering. The company logo is also great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Very little rust, actually just the right amount of paint wear, this truck could easily be restored. Love the logo and the generator wire is a nice touch. Your interior looks right from what I can see, you did do some research. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Okay, are you really telling the truth that this is a first attempt?
