Thanks Richard, and i hear you on the wheels and i think im gonna put a wash on them thanks for the advice much appreciated

Few pics of the t-rat almost finished!!

Thanks Riley! The decals were from the amt. 25 ford model T 3 n 1 kit.

Here some updated pics of the progress on the T-rat. I've added a tailgail and some chains to complete the bed of the rat. i used a neckless that i bought at hobby lobby and some little hooks that were also in the jewelry section of hobby lobby. i also got the front radiator and front grill painted and add a hose from the radiator to a glass of radiator fluid that i found in my spar parts box. then just added some decals on the side of the body and sanded them down so it makes them look worn. hope you like

thanks guys much appreciated

update on the t rat just got all the salting method done but much more watering to do. hope you like

shane very nice model i love the paint job on this very nice!!!

very nice model!!! it reminds me of the car biff drove on back to the future .

this one is getting the Doctor Cranky treatment for sure!!!

thanks Doc.

Bill thanks for the advice on lifting the front of the body a tad i agree with you on that i think it will flow better if it is raised just a bit. and thanks for the crash course on the turbo Jeremy im not that mechanically inclined so i just stuck it where i thought it would look cool and i look up some pics. on Google of rat rods with turbos so i just went with it. I guess its a good thing its not going to run lol.

thanks Kevin

thought that i would stick a turbo on somewhere so i cut off the cone filter stuck it between and plastic weld them together turned out pretty good i think..

little update on the rat. i Z ed out the frame to get that low look an then i got a bunch of parts from my parts bin and started adding an this is what i have so far.. hope you like.

well got the shop floor started now just have to work on some weathering

thanks guys for the compliments and thanks Junior for the link that helps out a lot

ok guys i think i have the walls and the floors the way i want them here is a little sample of how it looks. now its time to start the full diorama .

thanks for the advice Richard

thanks Dave and i here ya on being your own worse critic, sometimes i think im a little to harsh lol

thanks for the compliments guys much appreciated...

little sample of a brick wall im trying out. cutting the groves in the brick is tough its not that clean so im gonna work a little on that before i start the real wall.And was wondering does anyone no an easy way of taking off that paper backing on the foam boards mine keeps on tearing.

o and Richard your hotrod diorama is what inspired me to do one in the first place you have a good eye for detail very nice work on that one.

thanks Richard i think for my first go at it, it turned out not to shabby.

thanks for all the help guys... here is my first sample its on cardboard and i put some plaster over top the cardboard. then i mixed a tan and a gray acrylic paint and got a good concrete color. i didn't allow the plaster to dry long enough so the lines are a little sloppy but im going to do some more samples to see what i like best. once again thanks for all the advise let me no what you think of the first concrete sample.

i wanna go for the grease and oil stains and some small cracks. i saw this diorama on line that i liked the floor of some something like that is what im going for.
