LOL! EYEGORE is always on the lookout for more eye candy!

That would have been a good Real or Not moment.

It is obviously addictive, that's what I say. EYEGORE says: if you want to see some cool rust check out your nearest fire hydrant!

Dave, you are right. I think weathering has been around longer than ten years, but it's become an addiction in the last 10 or so, in particular with MIG on the scene, and now there are two companies (MIG--Mig's old company) and (AK-INTERACTIVE--Mig's new company) putting out a lot of amazing weathering products. Also, many modelers have been pushing the envelope on what is possible with weathering for a long time too.

It's great to know a lot of these classics are safe and in good hands.

Beautiful addition to your collection. Thanks for sharing.

Folks, in case you have not seen this, Roger's stuff is now available for drooling and eye-popping gawking. Enjoy: http://www.rogersmodels.com/Site/Welcome.html

I had never seen this kit. It looks very cool. Thanks for sharing.

I'm just amazed at how in less than a decade, weathering car models has really become a great part of this hobby. Between junkyard jewels and rat rods most builders have whet their appetite for rust and gunk.

It looks sleek and beautiful.

Beautiful. So far so good. Keep it going. This one is going to be a stand-out model.

Very cool, chap, you are bringing in some great ideas and details.

The other paint line (acrylics) that's very interesting is Jacquard.

A few more:

In the last year I have used Vallejo Acrylics almost exclusively with great results. Then again, I tend to built junkers, beaters, daily drivers often a bit far gone . . . and I tend to follow military builder's protocol, which is put down the base coat, then apply a coat of Future Clear to seal in everything, then the weathering process can begin using a combination of enamel and acrylic products for filters, washes, and pigments . . . .

I think I would buy a couple.

Great scratch-building and modifications. Keep it going.

Beautiful work, Alyn.

Missed it, hope to catch the rerun . . . .

This thread is really, REALLY (REALLY) doing a number on me. WOW, lots of great builds. Keep the rust and gunk coming!

Me too, thanks . . . there's something about the curves on this kit that really get to me! :)

Nice, Ed, very nice.

Keep coming back to this one and drooling!

Oh, and Auto Air Colors can take as much as 60psi! The trick is to fiddle with the paint mixture and the air pressure and use test pans (a scrap body or plastic spoons) to test your set up . . .

House of Kolor needs at least 45psi, or you can over reduce and maybe get by with 35psi.
