This is a 32 Chrysler that has been forgotten for maybe 50 years or more. I've shown how nature is not always perfect. The tree has grown in a rather strange shape and also has dead branches in it. The ground is rock from my driveway. The foliage is woodland scenics. Weathering on the car was done with craft paint from Wal Mart. Gritty areas had silica sand mixed in with the paint.

The human element was brought in with bullit holes in the windshield, and the hood opened showing that somebody had been working on it, and just walked away. Since this car has been sitting, I've shown streaking in and up and down pattern on the sides, and a "pooling" affect on flat surfaces. A dremel tool with a cone shaped attachment was used from the inside to show rust through.

....WOW, that looks fantastic Doug! You've got a lot of nice detail in this.

....I've love these kinds of dio's. Every time I see an abandoned car sitting in a field or next to a barn, I always wonder about the history of the car. Who first bought it, where has it been, why did it end up here.
