Nice job on that 56 Chevy!

[retired & glad]

Great job. I'm sure it took you a very long time butchering that one.

Very nice weathering..!....I like it...!  I need to learn more about this stuff.

Thank Rick, Richard and Mark. I found it more challenging than a shiny build.

Gee I was hoping it was a 55 nope it's a 56 ...................nice build ! A lot of rust just the way I like 56's rusty and dusty......LOL

Very cool Joel! Always nice to see something out of the ordinary!

Very true Doug! But a '57 shouldn't even be allowed to stay that nice!!

[Tom Geiger]

Hey Joel!  You put a lot of effort into this one and overall did a great job!  I especially like your attention to detail in the interior and the way you made broken glass.  I can see you are hooked and this won't be your last rusty build.  There are a few things I see, and I'd be happy to critique it if you'd like.  Either here or in a PM.  Let me know!

Might need a Tetanus Shot after that!  Nice work!

[IceMan Collections]

Doug is absolutely correct.  This is a 56. Typo. Thank you al for your comments.

Tom, I would love to get your feedback.  I'm good if you do it here. im sure others may find it insightful too.  

I will tell you, I really enjoyed working on this one.  The next one I will pay more attention to all the trim for sure. And maybe wear gloves more often. I was itchy every time I worked on it. Haha!

What a piece of junk! 

I mean that in the nicest possible way. 

About the only thing I would've done is to paint the wipers and window trim with a mix of steel and silver to simulate weathered, dulled stainless steel.

You did a great job on this one. Like it a lot. !!

[V8 Trucker]

wow the model is made very convincing

[crazyrichard]

cool !!

[IceMan Collections]

Thanks everyone.  You're absolutely right Charlie.  Something I have in mind for my next one.

So sad, but so real looking. This should be in a diorama or something.  

[Ulbo]

I´m not good in this kind of weathering but in my opinion it looks awesome. Congrat great built!!!

[IceMan Collections]

Thanks David and Rastislav.

It deserves a nice base but this is for a contest in which we sell the builds to see which one gets the highest bid.  I believe there are about 10 entries with this same kit.  We'll see how it does against the rest.

[Sixties Sam]

That looks terrible.......just like it should! Great detail and weathering work!

[D. Battista]

Pretty cool build...!

 

[IceMan Collections]

Thank you Sam and Dave.  I kept telling myself the same thing.  This looks like garbage!

[satterwhite78]

Like the KoolAid man says..."  Ooooohhhh  Yeeeaaa"!  Looks fantastic, I was wondering where you dragged it off to when you got the tractor and pulled it off my lot! LOL!
