I experimented a little with the body last night – pleased with the results!
I glued some PE weld lines in strategic places to where I would expect the cuts to have been made for the “chop”. Then I applied some black BMF (had to find a use for the otherwise useless stuff) around the weld lines on the body. Next, I dry brushed different shades of browns on the body and sanded/scuffed the areas to expose the weld lines and the metal backing of the BMF.

efore anyone goes crazy – yes I know there is no primer on the body, and yes, I did prep the resin before I started. Its all part of my evil plan LOL.
I also played around with copper BMF on the grill shell – how does it look? It doesn’t suit the look I’m going for on this build, but I will put it aside for a future project!
