WillyBilly Posted January 3 Posted January 3 (edited) A couple of them still need finishing under the hood, and after the paint dried on the Airfix Gladiator, I was unsure if model glue would hold it together, so I super glued it. Should have waited to put the roof on as the gas from the glue got on every fingerprint on the interior, and glass. I watched CSI enough to know better than to enclose it till the fumes had expelled, but I still put the roof on trapping the gasses. Dumb rookie move. 2024 was the first time in 48 years of building that I tried patina. Making them shine is easy. Making them look old is an art. I tip my hat to those who have mastered the art of patina, and weathering. Anyways, on to 2025 The whole reason I own a gladiator Edited January 3 by WillyBilly 7
Coyote_6 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Nice work on the ageing/patina - especially the Nova wagon and the hood on the Charger! Very nice! Steve 1
Zippi Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Four is a good even number to round out the year in buillds Billy. Nice looking. 1
David G. Posted January 4 Posted January 4 That's a great looking set for the year, I love the Roadkill cars! David G. 1
WillyBilly Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 Thank you everyone. I am happy with the results so far. 2025 is going to be way busier as I am already working on 4 different models, and still waiting on the "Stranger Things" K5 Blazer from Revell to be released.
XYHARRY Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Your patina looks great, especially on the Nova. Really well done Billy. Cheers, David. 😎👍
Bucky Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Fantastic weathering! Especially the Nova. Where did you get the Gladiator?
