Tamiya mini 1/24 barn find

[happy grumpy]

This thing is wee .Nice little kit though without any issue. the rust was achieved using the salt method and artist oils and pigments to blend the effects.

thanks for looking.

Not just because I built that kit, but this is really cool!  Nice job on it, but the windows are too clean.  ~raz~  Love the barn setting too.

Too cool.   Rust not over done.  Barn looks great also.

Nice one Mario! That has a lot of character and it's the way most Minis went here. My mum had several, on the first one the external hinge area rusted-out and the door fell off when I opened it one day.....

Looks great!

Now that looks pretty kewl Mario.  Nice weathering.  Love that Diorama scene.   

[Jim B]

Nice weathering effects on your Mini.  Well done.

[Pierre Rivard]

Wow Mario. Absolutely wonderful build. The car and diorama both look so lifelike.

I wish I could do rust like that but that's beyond my capabilities.

Epic effort!

Poor little Mini.  Love the diorama.

Nice work, Mario. What great looking rust. Very authentic. It gives the Mini so much personality. It has some stories to tell. Great work!

[slusher]

Very cool..

[ewetwo]

Looks so realistic. Nice.

[Ulbo]

Cool rusty Mini, great job, the rust is your best technique or skill I think?

Nice looking rust bucket! the windows look like it is being driven but I don't think I would get behind the wheel!  Nice work! ??

Oh, Mario, what have you done to one of my all-time favorites? It breaks my heart to see a Mini in such condition.

Well done, as always - perfect weathering and great background, too! By the way, did you intentionally mount the rear bumper upside down?

Thanks Hemut,

well I guess I did. Must have been late at night, add aging to that and you get oopsies. I did wonder though if the front bumper was ok The plate is almost touching the ground but after looking at pictures on the internet , It is right. Thanks for pointing that out , I will correct it.

best regards,
