Route 66 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Wow! I'm brand new here and I'd love to know how you went about getting the rims and body to look that weathered. I just love rat rods and I didn't know you could achieve that look with a plastic model kit. Is there an area on the forum that can teach me how to do that?

Chuck Most Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Love it! From your screen name, though, I expected to see a VTEC engine in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seek out Dr. Crankys videos on you tube, he is my insperation. Also try and find AK Interactive magazine, its available for download. There is no rules, so your canvas is wide open, I think the replica stock guys have it the hardest. Love it! From your screen name, though, I expected to see a VTEC engine in it.

HondaRacer1124 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Very cool , love the pipes on top of the carb ! Thank you, I was going for a steampunk look, and wanted to echo a old carival calliope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Love it, Eric. Wonderful rust and weathering, and all the great details help the viewer move around the model. What kind of grill mesh is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Oh you got me thinking....... Do it! You know you want to! I did a rat rod a while back with a Nissan DOHC inline six.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tory Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Great build Eric, you had my vote! I keep going back and looking at all the details you put in it, the more I look the more I see! Also, you really got the proportions just right on it. No small feat. Tory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HondaRacer1124 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Love it, Eric. Wonderful rust and weathering, and all the great details help the viewer move around the model. What kind of grill mesh is that? Thanks for all your help and kind words. So the grill is a earing from about 1990 in my " that's something I sould hang onto bin". Always pays to raid the clearance bins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
