61 Impala rusted and weathered.

[59 Impala]

Here are some pics of a 61 Impala that I rusted and weathered.  I tried to make it look like it sat in the woods for a long time and green mold is growing on the North side of the car.  This is the first time that I've tried this.

 

In the back seat is a guitar, tv, rabbit ears and horn.  On the front seat is a tire and battery.

Nice work, looks very realistic, especially how "crispy" the chassis is and the bondo spot on the fender. The moss is a cool touch of realism as well.

Well done! It looks great in a nasty kind of way!

Ya done good. Very realistic weathering.

Thanks guys.  This was an experiment, and I liked how it turned out.  I used pastels for the moss and rust.  I sprayed the hood and interior with this Marker Air Brush kit that I got at Hobby Lobby. You just insert a sharpie in and pull the trigger and spray away.

That's gross. Great job! Reminds me of some of the cars pulled from the Florida waters after hurricane Ian.

Great realistic looking finish and the interior full of parts.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I try to make the builds like this to look as real as I can.

Love it!  What's next, dioramas?  Keep exploring, I've wanted to do a shaggy really taken over level of moss weathering.
