Getting her rust undercoat and initial base coat using color modulation. Looks likes she's gotten into some minor damage. More to come...

I like where you are going with this. 

I recently picked up and old electric pencil. I thought I would try it gently on some plastic to see how it would work to make it look like rust cancer.

WIP: Update...Layers of brushed on chipping in the works as well as the scratch built roof rack.

Your detail painting of the roll and roof rack is very realistic - excellent work!  Really like all the wear and tear you're adding to the body as well.

Much appreciation. I wish I had a better camera.

Almost finished with the interior, just need to add the details/accessories...I am removing the drivers seat spring and just having exposed foam.

UPDATE: More done today...

Roof rack and interior are looking good!

Your painting skills are awesome - the roll especially caught my eye.  Have you painted a lot of armor?

[BERT100]

Great job, enjoying how you are puting the project together.

Thanks, Jim. I've spent a majority of time studying military miniature painting and anything I can weather, I will.

Looking very good. I really like your weathering.

UPDATE:

- Folded up the rear passenger seat and added its metal leg. 

- Added three milk crates, one filled with a spare battery and tool bag while the other two crates have books/magazines.

- Snuck in the ol' Grays Sports Almanac (if you know, you know).

- Lastly, topped off the rear seat with a folded and strapped old military sleeping bag.

Your going to mess up the space time continuum!

Seriously though, great job on the dents and dings!

Perfect, nice catch there. I appreciate the kind words. Should have the body on the chassis today, stay tuned!

Your detailing skills are awesome!👍😎

Great looking interior additions.

Added a custom spare tire rack to the trunk. Built with wire tubing and bent paper clips.

Same here. I like to model cars that I could see in my neighborhood. The show cars look great, but just aren't what I'm after.

Spare tire rack looks awesome!

Thanks. I am still playing around with it, I am not sure if someone will question why the tire is not being held down, especially with the hub cap on it. Maybe I should remove the hub cap and fabricate the tire lock down rod that comes up through the center of the rim and holds the tire in place? Thoughts?
