happy grumpy Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 The first photo is what inspired me to finish this build. I put this kit back in the shelve I don't know how many times. After seeing that photo I knew that's how I wanted to do this model. There is an artistic beauty to an old car left in a field or desert all by itself, cooking in the sun . I did remove the fabric top and the floor. I had a few good photos of a bare metal Ford so I did my best to replicate that. I even put a few bullet holes for good measure. As always, thanks for looking. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Holy smokes Mario, you brought out your "A" game on this one. Just a Great looking 31 Ford that has sat in the desert for years wasting away. The weathering looks spot on man. Super job on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satterwhite78 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I remember having a car like that.....took it out on a starry night to see the wonders of a celestial light show and...lo and behold.. a meteor appeared and landed some distance away. Bright light, Big explosion, lots of dust.... Well, that was 65 million years ago. Looks like it held up pretty good for its age. Excellent work my friend. Museum Quality!
