JTRACING Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) hey guys here's one I'm working on I.did some painting today, all the wood is painted no decals. used the paints you see in the picture. also made the bolt heads from popcan aluminum I'm going for a period era look in the end, it will have some light weathering also. your typical station wagon, fishing trips, camping etc. thanks for looking in!

Dirkpitt289 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Amazing work on the body. Wowzers!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Your wood looks fantastic! The grain is just right for scale and the tones beautiful together. I'm going for a more worn out look on my rendition but yours is something to shoot for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khier Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) I love the wood finish and the rivets, but the black wash is somewhat heavy IMHO. Edited July 27, 2015 by khier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalCarCulture Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Outlining the wood in black kinda kills the look for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Love your paint work but perhaps the black outlining is a tad over done. That being said I could not do better. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominik Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 It has an interesting look...but the black wash is to heavy in my view. sure, lets wait when your work is done. And sure, it is your model, you're building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
