FullPowerGarage Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi! This has been a quick, costless build. Theme is Bodydropped & period correct. Do you guys know how to make the wood aged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Find a product called Weatherall in a well-stocked hobby shop or model railroad hobby store. Shake up the bottle real good and dip the wood in the bottle. It will give the wood the aged look you are looking for. Repeated dipping will make it more and more aged looking.

AzTom Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Nice! Google How to Weather wood. I saw several on Pinterest that used household items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGrowly Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I make a paste from instant coffee and water. It yellows wood, great patina color. I get it at the dollar store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullPowerGarage Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 I would like to make it green-ish, like it's been laying around for years in a forest, unused, that's the idea, a nice car but as cheap as possible build, I won't be weathering the body.

Tom Geiger Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Someone was using soy sauce, the little packets you get with Chinese food orders. Then take green water color paint and dab it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullPowerGarage Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thanks. This is what I am looking for, just like the wood you used for the bedfloor has been laying around in your forest in the backyard for years, you've just wiped the moss off of it, boom ready, but maybe I'll leave it this way, what do you guys think?

chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 If you were to do that with the bed, it would be more fitting to fade/surface-rust the paint on the body, wouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullPowerGarage Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yeahh, totally agree with you on that, but, I like the nice red paint, it's better than on my other diecasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I like the look of the old wood but agree that it would look out of place the the perfect paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullPowerGarage Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm just leaving it this way, just do the interior, but not for now. What about a Mexican blanket on the seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
