i can easely aply a wash on the license plate , or chip it .. but i also like the contrast like something just trew on the pile .. in daylight it looks different

very nice !!

nice story tom and btw you are as old as you feel yourself or like you act haha i added a slightly bend licenceplate , a tiny chrome doorhandle and a chrome fan , just to get some not rusted parts in there

hit the i forgot my password button ? or dont they have that there ?

thnx guys!!!! and blair haha you noticed , the girls was ina bundle buy i bought a few kist and some partsboxes from a fiended builder .. and she was in there haha

oh whouw thats just stunning !!

last weekend update the boneyard is quite finished , or at least i got the feeling its just about right and i got to watch out not to overdo it with putting stufff there added a old straight six , the tub with on top a old fan , 2 weathered valve covers and a wooden plank , last a texaco skychief gasoline sign on the fence some fun shots with a female figure i had ... not the most realistic one but in this evening light its kind of convinsing enough to make some fun pics

haaa spot on !!!

thnx bob ! , to be hounest its stood still due to my servicestation diorama , but this ford will look so great in that dio i def. will go at it soon and finish it

oh whouw thats cool !

very cool , love them both !!

nice !

sunday ..... i was looking in the partsboxes and found the front window of the wreck ,, that needed to be fitted from inside .. so i filed and sanded the edges of until it just fitted in from the front , then made cracks and holes in the front window since that tyre was not hollow , i wanted to put in some scrap parts but when i tryed this steelie i liked that better , rusted the steelie and made it more orange , trying to get a few different rust toned so its not all the same ... gave the wheels a wash so they look dirty and fit in better overall vieuw , you can also see the horn speaker on the front of the building edit > update i made a styrene frame and covered that with canvas , like a wind cather , painted the canvas red and gave it a coat of poweder , i want to add something on it and make it look dirty with a wash , also i will ad strings from the canvas to the frame made a large tub , the tub itself is actually from duplo lego , sawed of the bottom , the grills on top are made from boxes they use in a labratory better vieuw on the windcatcher , the tub just sits loose there didnt decided where to put it yet

thnx richard!! and yes i understand what you mean exactly , the fact was this tyre looked great lying there , my plan was to put some stuf inside the tyre to hide the inside .. and the shiney part , i sanded and filed my ....off and still had some shiny parts .. but with some washes i think i can get rid of those but your idea of the hollow tyre and some water inside is way cool , but i dont think i have any tyres that look that realisticly hollow in the inside ...

nice !! and that chopper looks sick !!! .. cool !!!

added a tyre and a rim and tyre , only glued in place will get some washes later close up , the rust methos is i think the most realistic result i ever achieved .. i was not happy with the gravel , the tone went to much towards the rust of the rusted parts , so i redid that more khaki , the dirt is sanded slightly and made a tad more matte again

thnx david !!

thnx manny , yes i dont really know what that tyre came from but it sat on a truck rim .. it def is bigger then a 1/24 truckscale painted and weathered the addition to the sign , fotoshopped the background away ... my wife was taking a nap on the couch , not the best shot hahahahahaha added some smalls in the graveyard > put a ford taillight on the fender , added 2 valvecovers , a radiator , put a hook on the fence maybe i can hang like a chain on that later on and added a rusty header ... i had more but i'm very selective what i put in , most things that seemed cool did not look that great .. it needs to look like general stuff trown in the corner .. not like to staged shots in the daylight outside above the left pole beside the pumps i added a old style anouncement speaker , could play some music for the customers also haha i will add some wiring to that later .. also need to build some lighting , like spotlights and stuff

since its weekend ... >> added a old fan housing by placing it in front it adss some depth now working on a battery used copper paint for the contacts .. when thats dry i can do the box it self and started a backside for the sign , like a weather vain idea

hahaha yes you are right .. now why did you have to plant that idea in my head ?? omg how cool of a dio would that be like a secret moonshine still in the woods with a pickup truck in there ...

that is just .. mindblowingly beautifull !! omg what a result .... stunning one small note the model resembles the original whell but to me the original looks a bit more rough and less perfect ? but man what a build .. just in love

nice mock up

ooh yes , this is going to be stunning !

ooh whouw , this is just ... art !!

whow awsome , that looks sweet !! one small thing (ment in a nice way) the body looks superb but the wheels / rims look like they are sticking out , rough edges .. maybe a sand of the outer egde and a wash for the deeper parts will bring them to life , would match the rest so much better
