Found this Ford buried head first in a local swamp. Seems to have some history with a few bullet holes and possible injuries to passengers but none were seen in the vicinity.

This is actually my first attempt at weathering and I'm reasonably happy with how it's turned out. Hoping it will fit on the back of my Kenworth.

Great Job for a first try, on the weathering!

A hint though. Those Bullet Holes look like they were made by a 40mm Anti-Tank gun. You might try a much smaller hole on the next one.

Other than that, Model On!

And be aware of what materials your vehicle is constructed of when you are doing accident damage. For instance the grill is probably plastic that would have shattered rather than bent

Thanks yeah. I did alot of research on this vehicle and there was a lot of bent grills rather than shattered so I presumed in 96 they used more alloy than plastic.

This looks like it was buried in a swamp. The Mud is about as realistic as I have seen. 

Cool thanks. I haven't actually opened my kits for around 10 years since having kids. Lockdown has given a lot of spare time!!
