Here's some pics of a couple of odd projects I'm working on, the amt li'l gypsy wagon and the hemi howler, I painted them with weathering pastels and chalks.  So far I have the main componets together on the gypsy wagon, however the howler has been going much slower.  I bought the gypsy wagon in mint condition and built it a few months ago, however after falling off of a shelf along with a couple of other models, I am restoring it and will later may be included with a diorama.  The hemi howler unlike the gypsy wagon was bought as a wreck of a gluebomb that took months of restoring and multiple rebuilds to get to were it is now.  I brushed the wagon's body with a mixture of a weathered wood and the body a custom mixed red.  The howler was brushed with a custom mixed burlap color and purple to some parts of the body.

 

 

 

I mixed some weathering pastels together to gain the effect of grains

I remember back in the nintys there were a series of go cart hot rods built by ed roth, recently I found a very odd and vintage engine that came off a david bradley tractor I plan on airbrushing it and building a go cart show rod around it.  Does anyone remember these go carts or have a picture of them?  One of them was a rat fink rod, another was based on a wheel barrel, anothe was based on a wagon.  What I wanted to do was base mine around a sixties or fifties booster car seat.

I herd about this forum on another site and thought it looked very good.  Over the past few months I have been looking at builds and and have been amazed by the quality of them.  Just reciently decided to create an account.
