kasteer Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 A-rusting we will go: LOOKIN AWESOME!!!!!
Dr. Cranky Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I was not happy with the hue of the rust, so I put a bit more orange into it . . . After the paint dried for an hour or so, I brought out Mr. Masking Sol and my salt, then started adding both (Mr. Masking Sol first--wait for it to dry!) and then a sprikling of salt here and there. We'll see what happens when the final body colors go on . . . as I will try to fog the basic colors over everything in order not to lose the shadows nor the rusting in certain places . . . but I want the pockmarks of body damage to show through, thus the mask and salt. Stay tuned in for more!
Nick F40 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 yeah sure, why not! this will be interesting....that's all I'm gonna say! Maybe i'll take one of my F40 kits........ You're in bro!

Dr. Cranky Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Thanks, folks, most of the morning has gone into mixing up paints, just to get a few variations from light to dark . . . which is why I use 1oz bottles with York tops. They allow me to mix the colors accordingly. Yellows, khahis, sand, light brown . . . and white to lighten . . . Here's a shot fresh out of the paintbooth: The salt is used for some subtle speckling and chipping . . . I've also added a few scratches here and there, again nothing major . . . .

84vanagon Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 This build has me intrigued. Since I'm not going to be able to finish my Impala build on another board, count me in too please. I don't know which kit I'll use yet though. This may get me out of my slump. Probably can't touch Cranky's work though.

Dr. Cranky Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Styrene addiction is a wonderful thing, ain't it?
Dr. Cranky Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I like the name. Sometimes the name gets the builder fired up to build the THING itself!!! Run with it! Run with it FAR!!!
kasteer Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 This is getting fun... LOL Deathcalade.... LOL I can't wait to see it!!!! Hmmm... I'd also like to see a Death-cycle... or maybe even a DeathBeetle...
Dr. Cranky Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) Hum, did you say a Deathbettle? Edited August 19, 2008 by DamnCranky
James Flowers Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Hey ALLGOSUO do you have the instructions for the Californian ? I have been trying to find a copy of them for along time . I got one in a bag and that was all I got . Anyway I could get a copy of them from you ? That is a hard to find kit .
RodneyBad Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I, for one, is excited to get started and finish a kit (finally) and be in a build off. SO, Speed and weapons are very important. Armour plating and Roadworthiness but no Off-Roading required? Can we start now? Can we? Can we? Eh? Eh?
Dr. Cranky Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Start? Start? Oh yeah, start! Here are some pictures of some of the paint accents . . . I wanted to break up all the grungy green . . . so I remasked all the rust in the front, then cut a mask with a Fiskars pattern scissor and sprayed the orange in light coats, fading as I went along . . . Also, I made the scratmarks where the chain will ride on the hood . . . I hope it can be seen in this picture . . .
