Foxer Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 That truck should be a fun build. There are many threads here about adding rust and dents. Here's a Google search of the MCM forum on 'rust and dents' that will get you going.I made a rusty, denty 55 Cameo that will give you something to look at .. many of the things I did are explained in the thread. Mostly I ground out behind where I wanted to rust until I was almost through the body and picked off the thin edges with a knife.I still have troubles getting dents to look just right, but most seem to use heat to soften the plastic and press a "dent shaped object" into the body. Many here can give better advice on dents.Be sure to show us your progress on this beauty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
