Very nice progress!

Looks great!

Cool stuff Lloyd!

I'm probably going to get ripped a new one for my comments, but I firmly believe that there is no wrong way to do something on a model if it gets you the results that you are looking for. Example #1: For this build, I layered different colors with a brush (no primer), and then rattle can for the final color coat. Some careful sanding until the base coats revealed themselves, and one last coat of flat clear. Some strategic dry brushing doesn't hurt either. Example #2: This was my first attempt at a rusted Junker. Again, I layered different colors, both acrylic and enamel over each other. Next, I splattered some Micro Mask (aka liquid masking tape) and let dry. Rattle can enamel top coat, and then used a toothpick to pry off the Micro Mask. Some light sanding in the "oxidized" areas too. If anything - going against the rules of mixing acrylic and enamel probably helped me get the distressed effect I was looking for. Personally, I've never tried the salt method, but have seen great results by those who have. From what I read, if you do use salt or hair spray, using acrylic top coat is probably necessary. Only useful advise I have is to go experiment and have fun. Going to quote Bob Ross here when it comes to weathering cars: "there are no mistakes, only happy accidents!" SC

Awesome start! Everythign looks real - right down to the pads and scratches on the guard rail. Keep up the good work - can't wait to see more

VERY COOL!

The white on red looks sharp!

I like it - Well Done!

Anthony - I really dig the crusty little guy!

Great job - I would say you nailed it!

Fantastic work - very difficult to tell which is the reference pic vs the dio!

Very nice – really dig the “less is more” concept. You pulled this off well.

Love it! can't wait to see where you take this

Looks great!

Yup - I think I need one.....

Very nice! I have a few WIPS influenced by the salt flats as well. Will be watching this one, for sure.

Very Cool!

Very classy! I'm a sucker for this kit - nice work

Awesome work! Looks like something that you would find in the show room back in ‘69

WOW - That came out real nice!

Coincidence that AMT recently rereleased their double kit of the ’29 Ford Roadster after the (perceived) success of the Revell ’31 Ford Coupe & ’29 Ford Roadster?????????? I love a good conspiracy story! Lol

Agreed! I find it too hard to believe that there exists only one set of these Molds anywhere for a global-multi million dollar (assuming) company like Monogram Revell. I'm sure that they can find a way to fix/repair/replace the mold if the story is true. The vibe I get from this forum, eBay, retail outlets and other enthusiasts is the '31 and '29 kits have got to be some of their top sellers at the moment.

I have two sealed kits left - will sell both for a low, low askign price of $150 shipped lol

Careful.....Just a couple of posts away from this topic being moved to the "Off Topic" forum.......

Just saw on the Revell's site yesterday under "On-line store" that the '29 Roadster is listed as "Discontinued". My first reaction was "WTF!?! - this was just released!". The above would be a VERY detailed explaination. Not sure how accessable the '31 & '29 kits have been to Americans, but they've been down right difficult to aquire here in Canada. The last two kits I bought, I had to order from California and pay a S&H premium. Guess its only going to get worse......
