ratdoggy Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Doing the Ford Fairlane "modified stocker" kit and want to put some "rubbing is racing" damage on it Any good tutorials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick L Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 You have a cool idea. A brush with a Dremel sanding drum could give you the scrape effect and spot heat the area with a BIC lighter enough to push the area in for the dent may work. After painting, fill the scrapes with panel line paint. I have never tried this myself, so using a guinea pig body for experimenting would be in order. Show us how you make out. I’m sure it would be useful to others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantom Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I did the rubbings on this car by dabbing different colors on the body and dragging it with a wide flat brush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruleworld Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 The crash damage is replicated using thick foil pressed onto the good panel, before bending it up and setting it by back-filling the panel with body filler (to hold its shape). The foil crinkles a lot more realistically than the heat-and-bend technique eleanor01 by aus_mus, on Flickreleanor02 by aus_mus, on Flickreleanor03 by aus_mus, on Flickreleanor04 by aus_mus, on Flickreleanor05 by aus_mus, on Flickreleanor06 by aus_mus, on Flickreleanor08 by aus_mus, on Flickreleanor09 by aus_mus, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdoggy Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 kruleworld...I'm guessing you're using heavier foil than the roll in my kitchen? Is that like the stuff in a restaurant "doggie bag"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Oven liners and turkey roasting pans are a good source of heavy foil. Cheap at the grocery store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
