Pete J. Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Very very nicely done. If I may pick one nit, and this is almost always overlooked by builders of "junked" cars. Too much tread left on the tires. A car is this shape would almost always have bald or near bald tires. It is a very small detail but as a contest judge I don't know how many "weathered" car I have seen and when you look at the tires, they are either bright and shiny(which you did not leave that way) or fully inflated(which you also did not do). Looks very realistic. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I have never seen better, more realistic rusting. Amazing! Dr. Cranky would be proud of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Excellent work on this Mercury. Rusting is much harder than doing a shiny paint job so I have to give you a big credit for doing so good job on it. Looks just like many cars are seen on eBay auctions... "Pretty solid project car. It has some rust on quarter panels and on rear floors. Engine is not running" My favorite parts are those brakes. They look super realistic, especially the one without a brake drum. Did you scratchbuild the brake shoes or where are they from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piero Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 The brakes are resin parts. I just added the nuts on the drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalbeast Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 If it were all the red color of the right fender, and had the back tires, it would look an awful lot like one I used to see in my high school parking lot! Oh it would need a Misfits skull sticker on the back too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 How did you guys find this thread from 2015? Last time the guy who built this model visited here was February 23, 2018 . He won't see your praises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Then I guess his car has probably rusted a LOT more since then! 5 years later and it's still great to see. I'm glad it was brought back up. Edited January 30, 2020 by Oldcarfan27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
