Junkyard 68 mustang

[happy grumpy]

Build from the Revell kit, added some loose parts around and in the car. There is something about junkyard cars that is almost artistic. Decaying witnesses of a long gone era. The rust texture is a mix of paint and baking soda. The lighter shade  of rust is pastel chalk powder brushed over.

Again, thanks for looking

Hot digity dog Mario.  That looks pretty darn good.  I like the chain laying across the fender like the ole boy that had this car was either getting ready to pull the engine or maybe he sold it and someone was on the way to pull it somewhere else.

Safe to say that one lives in the rust zone?

Great and impressive work there Mario?

Very realistic looking! i like the side view mirror hanging from the cable and the board sticking out the window. Great job!

Great job and probably a lot more work than laying down a glossy paint job with clear coat.  Nicely done.

Looks great!

Wow absolutelly superb and rusty one ? Very real!!!

The like the way this has been distressed. The finishes all look very realistic. Sort of like a car parked on the beach at low tide and then set out to rot.

If the body is that rusty, I hate to see the floors!! Great job on the weathering.

That's one sad looking Mustang.  Great job.

Fantastic rustbucket Mario - I like the headlight haning out of its cave!

[Keef]

*jaw drops*…….. ? WOW!!

[Olskoolrodder]

WOW, man that looks great, very nicely done

[Bills72sj]

That is quite impressive. It looks like a genuine Rustang. If it were real, the gas cap would be long gone.

Looks fantastic, awesome weathering!!

[slusher]

Excellent weathering!

[tbill]

Wow! Very well done, love the headlight just hanging out, the chain, the mirror……, very convincing. Fantastic rust as well, for the longest time I wished I could lay down a smooth glossy paint job, now I wish I could do the weathered distressed look. Great looking build!

That is an amazing distress job and the awesome background completes the theme.

Extremely well done!! It saddens me, but extremely well done none the less

Man that poor ol' Mustang had a hard life.  Amazing job on the weathering and love the little things like the mirror hanging off the door.  I also like how in the last few pictures it looks like it's sinking into the ground like it's been sitting there for decades.
