Bastardo Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Darn, I wish I saw that comment before, Fred... :/ Yesterday I still could have fixed it, but now it's a bit too late... Bummer... Did a bit of dry-brushing: Almost finished steering wheel: Dry-brushed the radiator ribs: Engine gets closer to completion: TBC!

jsc Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 It's so ugly it's awesome! Great job on the rust. The "streaks" on the side look realistic. Are you going to gunk up the engine as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastardo Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thank you, John! The engine already has some dust and oil on it, but I won't over-do it, as it is under the hood, so the weather just can't reach it. I'll apply some dirt to the engine bay and so on, but it won't be in the same messed-up state as the exterior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastardo Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Thank you, guys! I'm doing my best At first this was going to be just another quick build with a bit of rust, but then I got sucked into the project and now I just can't stop complicating with the weathering...

Bastardo Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Thank you, guys Started work on the inner side of the hood:: Don't worry, I'll fix it I made the carpets and wood imitation on the console: The rear deck was a testing ground for the torn vinyl imitation I used tea filter bags. Great material as it doesn't wrinkle when it gets wet. It also holds the shape after it is clearcoated. A quick dry-fit of the interior: Plenty left to do TBC!

Bastardo Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Thank you, Bill The show goes on... Engine mounted on the chasis and by this the undercariage is more or less done: I changed my mind in the last moment - exhaust is not stock: I glued back the left headlamp. Crooked and dirty - jus the way I like it Front fog lights got crashed in the accident and now they're rusted Hood weathering continues: I painted the door handle and added the lock - painted and weathered pin head: Edited September 30, 2013 by Bastardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastardo Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Servo got some paint on it and a metal pin which will ensure better positioning on the firewall. I learned from my experience: Two painted areas are always a PITA to glue together for good, specially in a case like this: Small glueing area and a piece that could be touched or moved during the final assembly... Vents are mounted: The interior is almost done. Maybe some more bits n pieces, but this is more or less it TBC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Awesome, you must be the rust master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpalaBoy Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 As much as I hate to see a beautiful car in this condition, I must say this build is awesome! This is probably the most realistic weathering I've seen on a model so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
