retired & glad Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Great job. I'm sure it took you a very long time butchering that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hey Joel! You put a lot of effort into this one and overall did a great job! I especially like your attention to detail in the interior and the way you made broken glass. I can see you are hooked and this won't be your last rusty build. There are a few things I see, and I'd be happy to critique it if you'd like. Either here or in a PM. Let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Might need a Tetanus Shot after that! Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceMan Collections Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Doug is absolutely correct. This is a 56. Typo. Thank you al for your comments.Tom, I would love to get your feedback. I'm good if you do it here. im sure others may find it insightful too. I will tell you, I really enjoyed working on this one. The next one I will pay more attention to all the trim for sure. And maybe wear gloves more often. I was itchy every time I worked on it. Haha!

charlie8575 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 What a piece of junk! I mean that in the nicest possible way. About the only thing I would've done is to paint the wipers and window trim with a mix of steel and silver to simulate weathered, dulled stainless steel.

espo Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 So sad, but so real looking. This should be in a diorama or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulbo Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I´m not good in this kind of weathering but in my opinion it looks awesome. Congrat great built!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceMan Collections Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Thanks David and Rastislav.It deserves a nice base but this is for a contest in which we sell the builds to see which one gets the highest bid. I believe there are about 10 entries with this same kit. We'll see how it does against the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
