Rusted out abandoned 69 charger 500

[michelle]

this is a 1/25 scale 3d resin printed 69 charger 500 body that failed in a few places so I decided add some holes and artificially rust it up and also removed all of the fabric from one of the front seats leaving the frame work and removed half the fabric from the other seat and glued it against the back sear I removed one door Handel and the front bumper and two head lights and added some debris around the interior this is going to be used in a diorama I will be making

Very cool. I like it. Very realistic, excellent application of weathering techniques for a real beater.

Thank you this is the first time I have ever made a fully rusted car model  i combined two different rusting techniques I saw on instagram one was to add a bit of water and sprinkle salt over it before painting and the other was mixing drops of orange and brown paint together with a makeup sponge I used a flat red primer first then added the water and salt before using black primer then removed most of the salt then sprayed a matte clear coat over it  then did the second rusting technique with the makeup sponge by dabbing the paint

You can't be serious. Lol. You're not gonna' restore that mess. You did a fine job of making it look like a disaster though. Good luck with your diorama.

It looks like spended a lot of years in a muddy salt lake. Very good job.

But you can restore it easily. You only need a new bodyworks, a new engine and a new interior. The tires are still suitable.?

Thanks for explaining your technique. Very useful information, excellent results.

The flash photography gives the pictures a weird under-water photography vibe, like the view from a remote camera on a submersible, deep in a lake!

the close up shots  the camera focuses on one area and the rest gets blurry and out of focus for some reason so it gives the photos a weird look and I guess the blue wall and black book shelf top I use to take the pics and videos on and in front of does make it look underwater
