Beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, jaw-dropping, perfect... Simply one of the most wonderful builds I've ever seen - and I've seen thousands! Can't stop going through the pictures...

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, Terry! Get back ASAP and let us know how it goes!

I remember when I was working on mine - searched the interweb and found very little info on the L-700. therefore I just decided to go straight forward, build it OOB and do some damage to it: http://makete.si/viewtopic.php?t=4266

A work of art! I'd really love to see a WIP of this

Thanx, Jeremy! Not all the rust will be visible in the end

Thank you, Roy After some salting and some airbrushing here are the results: TBC!

I've had ideas of a project like this a few years ago - to draw and mill parts out of sheet styrene. I had some sci-fi vehicles in my mind and seeing this done it sure brings those ideas back to life I love the project so far! Keep it up and update it daily, please...

Lovely start! I'll be following this one for sure!

Wow, now that is shaved Lovely!

Tamiya brown: Due to exhaustion and the late hour I stopped at this phase, but today the show continues After I finish the rust with salt technique, I'll have to decide about aplying the body color - over salt or hairspray... TBC!

Green base for the interior: Orange peel on purpose - going to try something new this time...

Finally did some airbrushing again Parts and paint: Primed (airbrushed red Motip primer): All parts in primer:

Thanx, Larry The work has continued Seats sorted out: Engine halves had a poor fit... But a bit of putty and some sanding can solve a lot I crashed the front end into a lamp post... All parts have been washed and soon they shall recieve some paint TBC!

D'aaaaaw, that's sweet! Nice green-gold contrast!

Simply adore everything about it

Awesome work so far! Love all the scratch building and details!

Thank you very much for the how-to, Gordon! I sure will give it a try, as you make it look easy Hoping for the best... X)

Now THAT is wood The way I do it: - Paint the part biege or similiar light-brown color - Mix some brown oil paint with thinner - Apply uneven strokes of oil paint over the biege part. Different brushes give different results. Also, for replicating "3D" effect of wood: Sand the piece randomly with a rough sanding paper in the direction of wood grain. This will not only give the piece a "3D" look, but also make small scratches in which the oil paint or the enamel paint that Jürgen suggested will wash into. Take a piece of plastic and play with it

Thanx for the link, Cliff! Chris: I've also made rusty mirrors on my Citroen C2 rat though I knew they're made out of plastic, but my exscuse is: At DamDesign we make metal parts and rust them... Some pics of the C2 can be seen here: http://forum.makete.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=19466

Darn... Tommy, I hope you heal quickly, dude... :/ Been there, cut my finger bad, done some permanent damage to it...

Looks like a propper rat-rod in the making to me - therefore I love the way it looks!
