Finally a break from the heat, 71 degrees and rain on the way. I'm glad my God daughter's Graduation will be indoors, and it wasn't scheduled for yesterday.

What Did You Get Today? (Not Model Related)
johnyrotten replied to LOBBS's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I know that.👍 The woman had some machinist tools and boxes of carbide inserts as well, I let her know those were in very nice shape and worth real money. If she had the complete set of wrenches I would have come out of my pocket for a fair amount. I look for bargains,I'm not greedy. -

She's been around for the last 4-5 years, I have no idea what happened to her leg. They normally don't live long with injuries like this,this one's hanging on -
What Did You See In Your Yard Today?
johnyrotten replied to Tim W. SoCal's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
This girl hanging out in the yard, she's still around, bad leg and all. And yes I need to mow the lawn. Between the monsoons and heat wave I haven't had a chance. -
Sweet looking Ranchero. The two tone paint scheme really sets it off, as does the interior color. 👍👍

Weathering techniques question
johnyrotten replied to JerseeJerry55's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Absolutely looks great.👍👍 the engine fan will "pull" junk past the engine, you got more grime behind the blower, just like real life. -
Weathering techniques question
johnyrotten replied to JerseeJerry55's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Think about "how" the parts you're trying to weather get that way, and reproduce it. For road grime it's more grays, thin blacks. Oils are more brownish black ect. Honestly I mess around till I find what works right, and textures add a ton of detail you may not get any other way. It's all an illusion. The frame was rusted first, then painted to simulate a hastily done spray bomb job, so that's exactly how I did it. -
Lindberg's '53 Ford - following the instructions

That looks just like his kit seat. Different trim levels perhaps? -
Weathering techniques question
johnyrotten replied to JerseeJerry55's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Craft paints work great for weathering, as do artist chalks. Washes,dry brushing and all the other techniques are all fun just to experiment with. This is actual rust ,ground fine and "glued" with createx 4030, before and after paint pictures -
Lindberg's '53 Ford - following the instructions

I added the chrome trim to the seats for my Chevelle by carefully carving a groove and adding a length of 26 Guage wire. Maybe 32 Guage would work in your case -
95, feels like 103 with a little breeze.

Vehicle problems of the miniature variety seems to be today's theme,I just trashed all the work on my chevelle's dash.

Beautiful truck, maybe a spotlight to fill the hole? -
Already 77 and high humidity, it's supposed to hit mid nineties today. Just a gross,humid day.
