Looks dangerous!! I like it!

Welcome Tucker - nice to see some young blood into the hobby! What part of KS are you in?

They're doing a great job!!

Very cool Teddy!

Cool Benjamin! Congrats!

Good to know! It was my first attempt and wiring an engine.

Looks awesome!!

Thanks everyone! I appreciate your comments.

You guys are hilarious! I'm 43 - some days I feel 15 (in my head) and some days, 79 (in my back!).

HA! Sorry Ray - couldn't help myself.

Thank you Alan! I saw a tutorial someone posted on the "salt technique" and tried it. My method was a coat of red oxide primer. When that dried, sprayed it with water and sprinkled salt all over the wet surface, lightly in some areas and in clumps in others. Then sprayed it again with a light coat of darker brown primer, and white, almost in a camo style, but feathered edges. Once that was about dry (not quite), I took a toothbrush to it and started brushing off the salt and top coat. Hand rubbed that. Then used some acrylic washes in blues, greens and browns, watered down and with a paint brush. Some chalk pastels in rust colors here and there... in a couple of places I heated the body and pressed a jagged rock into it when still soft to create some dents. I really enjoy the process of weathering a car. I figure man made the car - God made the weathering! I'm trying to recreate what nature has done.

Just finished this one - well, as finished as it's going to get for now... there's still more weathering that could be done under the hood, and a couple of chrome doohickies to install on the fenders. But it's the weekend and the weather's supposed to be great, so I doubt I touch it for a while... Hope you like it and thanks for looking! * you can see a lot of the in-progress in the Workbench section under 1960 Ford Starliner Field Find.

Looking GOOD! I really like the addition of the body lines. You're doing a fabulous job on this!

Your friend was right, Nick! I joined this forum a month ago and have learned a TON! Most of the folks on here are really cool and encouraging. Welcome and enjoy!

Sharp!!

Welcome Randy! Building since the 60s? Can't wait to see your work!

Nice trucks y'all!

X3! Cool backdrop too!

For now, I loaded it on a flatbed and hauled it to the shop...

Richard, I sure do like that beat up '34!

Love this! My dad's got an old Wheel Horse he uses pretty regularly around his place. Not nearly as nice as your scale version! Very nice work, Manuel!

Gotta love a $5 garage sale find!! Have fun!

You'd better GET happy with it, 'cuz it looks awesome! Nice job Larry!!

Man that looks GOOD!
