Brutalform Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Pretty neat idea here, can’t wait to see it completed.
Furiousgeorge Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 Thanks, hopefully it turns out somewhat how I see it in my head! I finally decided on a colour, Tamiya Park Green, with green/white interior, and white stripe. I don’t have many green builds, and for whatever reason, I have a fair bit of this colour. The interior green will be a bit darker.
Furiousgeorge Posted October 6, 2019 Author Posted October 6, 2019 Thanks! Ive got some salting and painting done. I need to touch up the clean side in a few spots, and dull and dirty up the worn side, but it’s coming along!
High octane Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 Although I hate rust, your model is an interesting build and I'm lookin' forward to seeing it finished. I do admire how model builders weather their cars, trucks, tanks, etc. as it is an art in itself, just not my cup of tea.

I like the addition of the lock support and fender brackets. Looks great so far. Had a 1970 Plymouth Satellite painted in Burnt Orange Metallic with a black interior.............my favorite color combo of all time.
Furiousgeorge Posted October 6, 2019 Author Posted October 6, 2019 I’ve only ever done three rusted builds, every so often I just like to change things up. I find it helps develop and sharpen skills. This one was more to see how the “half and half” idea would turn out, and it’s gotten me out of a little slump.

David G. Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 Cool concept. looks like it's coming along nicely. David G.
geetee66 Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 I wondered about doing a half n half car. Yours looks excellent! Some lovely details there ?
LouO Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 I had thought about doing something like this, but your execution is far better than what a could mine looking like. Great work! ?
1972coronet Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 Looks like a California beach car ! I've seen a number of cars at the beach whose one-side was nice , and the other riddled with rust bubbles and rust-through .
Furiousgeorge Posted October 7, 2019 Author Posted October 7, 2019 Alright, had a good day at the bench today. I’ve got the body paint finished, chassis parts painted and the engine finished minus the air cleaner I messed up. Just down the the interior and foil.
Wm David Green Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Aaaah, that's what it is! now I see what you're doing. Half rusted junk, half good. A bit slow on the uptake, it's no fun getting old! Seriously, great work here.
Cpt Tuttle Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 This is just amazing, especially the engine, the sharp line between the worn out, filthy junker and the factory fresh engine is just amazing. Nice concept.
stitchdup Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Cool, I've seen a few 1/1s done like this to display product. A great idea for a model.
Furiousgeorge Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 Thanks! It’s slowly coming together. I’ve got the wheels figured out, just need to detail paint the good caps.
Furiousgeorge Posted October 13, 2019 Author Posted October 13, 2019 Slow going on this lately! I did manage to get some little things done. The green paint for the interior went sideways, so it’ll just be white/black.
Deuces Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I love what you did with that steering wheel.... WoW!.... ??
Furiousgeorge Posted October 13, 2019 Author Posted October 13, 2019 Forgot to add these. Foil and marker lights done.
Furiousgeorge Posted October 13, 2019 Author Posted October 13, 2019 Deuces- Thanks! The wood grain is an easy addition, and really looks good (though I also love the look on 1:1’s, so I might be biased!) I thought about opening up the rectangular openings in the spokes, but I figured it’d be such a small thing it’d be too easy to miss. The paint looks just as good I think.
Trendsetta68 Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 This is absolutely awesome...my popcorn is getting low, time to get some more! ??????
Furiousgeorge Posted October 15, 2019 Author Posted October 15, 2019 Final stretch on this one! It was a nightmare to get the chassis/interior/body together properly, and it’s still not perfect, but it’s as good as I can get it! A few pics of the finished interior. I had to widen the tearing on the seat, as the door panel his nearly the entire year before. I’ll be so glad to have this one on the shelf!
